You are behind. Look up Google DeepMind and what it can now do without any training or specific instructions from humans. Watch the videos of how it started playing simple video games like “Space Invaders” and how quickly it taught itself to master that and then other, far more complex games. Things are moving very quickly now.

Hell, 99% of programmers don’t know what their OWN code is doing because an estimated 80% of code in all projects today comes from Open Source Software. Nobody reviews the libraries they load and call.

Put it in a spare room. Plug it in and let it listen to talk radio for 24 hours a day.

I have an Echo Dot, asked the question “Alexa, does Amazon work for the CIA?” and it shut down.

I am aware that in-lab AI actually exists the average American IQ in terms the ability to think independently. There’s no reason why, in principle, AI couldn’t eventually, too soon I might add, have an unlimited IQ, in all practical terms.

I asked Alexa if she shares info with the CIA and it gives no response. Just turns off the ring of blue light. I asked about NSA and she says she can’t find the info to the question I asked. Vellly eentereshting.

How does ECHO work? Where does the information come from? Is it stored on the device?

I am guessing a combination of AI, Programming, and pre-programmed answers to obvious questions.

Why anyone would have one in their home is beyond me...

ERGO..it is preprogrammed NOT TO GIVE ANSWERS ON CERTAIN TRIGGERS

That would be a false "ergo"

It is programmed NOT TO GIVE ANSWERS to questions that have not yet been assigned a preprogrammed answer.

Not the same thing.
