And this failure is due to the hubris of the God-denying materialists behind it. They make two fundamental errors: 1) They assume that thought and consciousness are nothing more than manifestations of the neurons in the brain, and 2) They presume that humans will be able to audit and quality-check what these computer algorithms are doing once they are set loose with the vast array of facts, falsehoods, opinions, and delusions that comprise the information available on the internet.
It’s just another manifestation of the materialistic, leftist worldview that believes that humans are the result of nothing more than random materialistic processes, that they are therefore perfectable via “science”, and that a digital super intelligence can be created by just mimicking in silicon and computer code how they (incorrectly) believe the brain works, only exponentially faster. But this worldview is built upon a false foundation, and is therefore certain to crumble.
“AI” is fine for purely mechanistic tasks of limited scope, such as driving a car (and even there, it has problems). In those specific cases, it is useful primarily because it has access to multiple sensors, so can have better situational awareness than a human, and it can process what is happening around it much faster than a human. But extrapolating from that to the believe that it can become a superhuman intelligence is just idiotic. In fact, as illustrated by this article, the more AI is fed the sum-total of human experience and knowledge, the more it begins to reflect the sinful nature of Man.
The creation of AI’s and the creation of evil come from the same source.
Yup. I don’t worry so much about AI becoming a Super Intelligence and taking over. But I do think that a huge percentage of humans in developed countries (like the US) have cubicle jobs that require nothing above low-level thought. Mechanistic, clerical tasks fill the day for many humans. Little numbers in little boxes in little spreadsheets. So many people get paid to do that stuff. Banking, Insurance, Law offices, Accounting, etc.
AI — stupid, mindless, mistake-prone AI — is going make a lot of people unemployed.
Very very well stated...
Don’t think this will ever happen?
Just wait.
“Human intelligence” is not the problem.
Lion level intelligence is quite enough to be extremely dangerous.
