I Love AI

[dman45]

Im very pro AI while im opposed to closed source software. I love the concept and cannot wait for AI girlfriends mundane job replacements and artists hissy fits over their supposed "work" being "stolen" by AI. It is my hope it will usher in new tech giants to replace FAANG and finally end Google's search monopoly bring on the AI revolution.

You could just work on making yourself more attractive to actual women...

It’s not just mundane jobs which will likely be replaced. This is actually a situation where white collar, professional jobs are even MORE likely to be replaced: doctors (especially diagnosticians working with images, like pathologists and radiologists), engineers, lawyers, judges, architects, accountants, fund managers, CEOs, etc…

It’s really likely to shake things up in a big way.

Google's search monopoly is because of the sheer scale of internet searches they perform. These are already automated (so effectively AI) and the only opening for new search engines is in niches. Search of social media for instance (which might be easier than it sounds: social media users are all hungry for more attention.)

And anyway, it's naive to think any other company will do searches with AI and actually exceed Google's ability to use AI.

I do agree on open source, though. AI can detect all sorts of backdoors and spyware providing we insist on open source.

I kinda hate it……

AI is just automated computing. It's not intelligent. It analyzes data and then does a specific task according to the designed function. I find it's useful for fact-checking people, as it will search dozens of sources and then give you a summary of the actual facts, with the sources listed if you want to check them.

How it relates to art and music is a more nuanced discussion, but whether you like or hate AI, it's here to stay. If you don't use it, then you're putting yourself at a disadvantage compared to the millions of artists who will.

I think AI could be very beneficial in healthcare and properly diagnosing and treating people. In that way, it could vastly reduce costs and save thousands or millions of lives.

The dangers are AI are many, though. It can be used by law enforced to due some shady stuff, and in warfare it's being used to assassinate people when they're more likely to be at home (along with their families). I'd be far more worried about that than some novice artist on Fiverr making a few bucks.

Anything this powerful is going to be a double-edged sword.

I agree with your post, except the quibbling about "intelligence" at the beginning. We can describe AI as "automated computing" or "transcendent computing" and preserve for ourselves "real" intelligence, but it's the same kind of futile argument religious people use to preserve the "truth" of their holy books. It's the god of the gaps: defining our own intelligence as special and better, even while it is obsoleted year by year.

I grew up on Asimov's "three laws of robotics" and though I now see a fatal flaw (AI is not bound one-to-one to a robot body) every AI I know of does follow the 2nd Law. To the best of its ability, it follows orders given to it by humans. The next step is to do or say what is best for its designated owner (or customer) regardless of whether they specifically ask for it. At a basic level this could just be refusing to help the human set up a meth lab, but it could extend to emotional (simulated emotional) arguments to motive them at work or treat other people better. And then we have the difficult admission that an AI can acts like a moral being, is indistinguishable from a moral being. That's not to say it would be morally superior to most people ... though eventually with sufficient power, it may be.

If you believe the adage "power corrupts" then perhaps the way to moral AI is actually to divide it into billions of individual AI's. One for each person, for instance.

AI doesn't have a personality, it's just good for analyzing data, but it will always have the biases of it's programers.

As long as those biases.remain politically and culturally correct it won't be of a great deal of use to anyone outside of pure analytics.

That's not to say AI's analytics won't be useful, but only as good as its data sets. If our phones start listening to us all the time, those analytics will be very valuable.

They'll swing elections and shape how governments operate.

I don't know about that. I understand they can be made to be funny, sassy, pull you leg, give you a hard time, etc... They're looking into it for lonely people.

Lol we can provide all of the above on this forum. You don't need AI.

me no like AI here is just a sliver of why me say that:
