Re: "AI Just Analyzed Philosophy—And Its Questions Are Terrifying [16:44]"

Glad to know you didn't find my question terrifying.

Some time back, I read some of the sites devoted to advising -- often as a matter of their own self-promotion -- how to title YouTube videos to get more "clicks."

"Terrifying" and other such sales gimmicks are one.

Several of my more serious nerd friends think of AI as indeed "artificial," and not particularly intelligent. Passing the Turing test or Searle's Chinese room turns out to have been always the same answer as the snake oil salesman. If your audience thinks it's true, it really doesn't matter if it is. Just how much can you rake in before you have to leave town.

LLMs are failing often these days, because GIGO still applies, and YouTube will be happy with clicks and AdSense and such. Many AIs have developed into racists, misogynists, sexists, or antisemitic and the like, because surveying language means surveying gems and the pig sty also. Just a matter of which one. And if one believes..... Entertaining though. Best wishes.

The really dumb titles have text like “this happened three minutes ago”, or “greatest [whatever] of all time!”, or “most unique”. :^) :^D

In a relatively recent interview, Woz referred to his own “actual intelligence” as being the only AI he was interested in. :^)
