AI gives birth to AI: Scientists say machine intelligence now capable of replicating without humans
Fox News ^ | 12/15/23 | Jon Michael Raasch

Artificial intelligence models can now create smaller AI systems without the help of a human, according to research published Friday by a group of scientists who said the project was the first of its kind.

Essentially, larger AI models - like the kind that power ChatGPT - can create smaller, more specific AI applications that can be used in everyday life, a collaboration between Aizip Inc. and scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and several University of California campuses demonstrated. Those specialized models could help improve hearing aids, monitor oil pipelines and track endangered species.

"Right now, we're using bigger models to build the smaller models, like a bigger brother helping [its smaller] brother to improve. That's the first step towards a bigger job of self-evolving AI," Yan Sun, CEO of the AI tech company Aizip, told Fox News. "This is the first step in the path to show that AI models can build AI models."

Yubei Chen, one of the researchers, echoed Sun.

"The surprising thing we find is that, essentially, you can use the largest model to help you automatically design the smaller ones," said Chen, a U.C. Davis professor and Aizip co-founder. "So in the future, we believe that these, the large and the small, they will collaborate together and then build a complete intelligence ecosystem."

That's some sciencey stuff right there. Does it mean Hollywood goes completely out of business?

Have any of them answered the question how to limit AI to prevent from getting out of hand? What is to stop China from piggy-backing an AI program on something seemingly innocuous and using it to destroy the country?

If the original ‘AI’ is crapola, will the progeny be the Son of Crapola?

I worked in the field of developmental disabilities for a long time. There was one client who had been raised by two PhDs. The client’s vocabulary was voluminous, but nothing made sense.

Come to think of it, he could probably be a goid Ivy League College President, and done a much better job than the current creeps.

"Those specialized models could help improve hearing aids, monitor oil pipelines and track endangered species."

I have yet to talk to a single AI customer service bot that done anything remotely useful. Not one. They all now say "You can talk to me in complete sentences such as 'what is my balance?" That's about as useful as asking "Is the sun up today?" or "Is water wet?"

No matter what I say, they always say "Let me get somebody to help you with that."

I'm not asking anything as hard as "I'm not able to locate the prefabulated aluminite base-plate surmounted by the malleable logarithmic casing with the two main spurving bearings in direct line with the pentametric fan."

Given these ai’s uave always gone down the path of destroying peopld is good/endgame, and now are no longer talking to people and giving p1ssy teenage girl responses to questions, I would be hesitant to use anything they create to “help” us.

It's pure BS, computers are only capable of doing what they are told to do. End of story. Thus it has to be presented code by a human to tell it to replicate itself to other computers, you know like computer viruses currently do to infect other machines. Nothing different.

This is yet another attempt to scare people into believing that computers are capable of taking the place of humans on their own volition, but they lack the capacity to think for themselves, they require a human to give them instructions to execute any task.

AI is artificial, but it has no intelligence whatsoever. Its intelligence is derived entirely by one or more human beings who provide instructions for the computer to execute. Now there are indeed humans who can produce remarkable instruction sets to emulate the appearance of intelligence, but it is the coders intelligence that you are actually seeing control the computer giving it the appearance of possessing intelligence. Therefore, if you play with it long enough you will provide the correct combination that will completely throw off the ability of the computer to perform the task to provide what was the desired result. At best it can only revert to a message stating that the desired result cannot be derived from the instructions presented, but the coder has to code to catch that event. If he hasn't, than the computer will produce an unpredictable result that is clearly not what was asked for.

Every youtuber will have the ability to eclipse hollywood with AI. The only advantage movie studios will have, is the overpriced theaters for experience and possible carjackings and robberies in the parking lot.

Home productions will rival anything in the future.

There could be instances of good. But the price we will pay in the end will be Ginormous.
