Think of how a family sedan responds to a course normally restricted to off-road vehicles. It will go wherever you point it. It will try even though it is incapable.
Social questions (like one valuing Jews vs. George Floyd) are vastly beyond the capabilities of AI. But it will still try using what it perceives are human sensitivities (and those perceptions come from what it has read). It has vast and almost instant recall and can weigh a vast amount of sometimes competing information. It can even respond in brilliant ways. But it is still just a child-like machine.
Absolutely true. But the problem is, there are people trying to leverage it as if it really DID understand these things.
I see a LOT of things that indicate this shortcoming is being ignored in order to leverage AI to do something “great”.
When it boils down to it, who gets to decide what is “great”?
