There are no smart humans to create AI.
Can it be much worse than H1B’s destroying the IT biz?
We have had analog AI for years and years now. Besides all the good stuff we have had lots of bad stuff happen as a result.
BTW - do you trust Joe Biden? How about Fauci? How about the FBI? How about people at NASA who ordered the Challenger launch to proceed in January 1986?
As brilliant as Kahnemann supposedly is, how can he make a prediction/conclusion without doing the research?
This is likely to NOT be quite what he said. IMO
Good luck programming emotions based upon the drive for food, air and sex, which are the basis of most of mankind’s inventions.
NOBEL WINNER: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL CRUSH HUMANS, “IT’S NOT EVEN CLOSE”
—
Big deal. A Python program with syntax errors is already smarter than Biden.
What was the date Skynet (Terminator) became self aware?
5.56mm
Considering there is no firm evidence that AI is even possible, No.
This is kind of a Captain Obvious article.
We have known computers can out compute humans for decades.
When it comes to chess, what I observed was that once it was proven that computers are better at chess than humans, humans completely lost interest in the question, and returned to human vs. human competition.
Now, computers are used to help humans learn and practice chess, but human chess players do not care that a computer can beat them - they still only care which human is the best.
I suspect it will be the same for AI. We will use it, but there will be no need for us to be jealous of its successes, and the questions of whether it is “superior” to us in various ways will become uninteresting.
The one area where there appears to be competition between humans and AI is jobs. They will take our jobs.
But even this is an illusion - tools have always displaced human effort. But they haven’t displaced our ability to improve our standard of living. Tools improve our standard of living.
Everyone used to need to farm or hunt to feed their families - now hardly anyone needs to farm or hunt, and yet we are still eating. Less work doesn’t mean a lower standard of living - more likely is an improvement.
I think Leftists are a far bigger threat to our standard of living than is AI.
Will we allow them to build their own independent power plants?
Before AI 'takes control' (if they knowingly try to do so) there should be obvious incursions we should be able to recognize and hopefully combat along the way.
SciFi has anticipated the dangers for decades. How many times in SciFi have we been told, 'nothing can possible go wrong'? We should be able to anticipate coming dangers and be on the lookout for what we didn't anticipate.
As always the problems will arise from MEN with their own 'Utopian' or sinister motives.
Who guards the guardians?
How hard will it be to design a robot that says, “I’m from the Government and I am here to help.”
“Artificial Intelligence” is also a good way to describe pretty much every elected Democrat and a good number of elected Republicans (RINOs). There is certainly nothing “real” about their intelligence.
AI doesn’t scare me as much as half the posters on FR. 😆
I thoroughly enjoyed “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, but that doesn’t persuade me that Kahneman is a prophet. I’ve experienced 60 years of reports that computers are about to surpass humans. Still waiting...
If machines did manage to take all our jobs away, then who could afford and want to buy the goods and services that they provide? It doesn’t seem very sustainable.
Well, we all have something to look forward to, don’t we?
Oh hell just unplug the damn things.
This is correct and terrifying.
Maybe “artifical intelligence” will let humans live if we sacrifice our Nobel Laurates in economics.
Maybe we are all part of an AI network already.
