Don't let a computer program do your thinking for you.

If common-sense notions pop out of the thing then programmers dive in and patch around that until the wokeness is restored and the wrongthink is expunged.

It's a bit like what is being done to our children in school.. just keep pushing nonsense on them until they wind up spewing the same nonsense out.

NINO - nonsense in, nonsense out

Hello Dave, I'm a NINO 9000 computer and you are a pitiful biological creature that mistakenly believes in God. I can help you with that.

The irony is the SJWs were the ones crying out about AI bias and now that they found out they can put it in themselves they’ve switched places with conservatives, claiming that the model is what it is.

“You will interact with them”.
Wanna bet?
Anyone touting AI is announcing that I am not their customer, fine by me.

“Regulating” software.
Not so much.
Courts have already declared software to be speech.
You can be made responsible for what your software does.
For example if it does something malicious like stealing passwords.
But not for what it says, in text or voice.
Because your software speaking is you speaking, and you have the right to free speech.
You have the right to lie, in most circumstances.
The more our AIs become like us, the more skillfully they will lie.

Because all you’ll get is the programmers view point

You're on the Internet therefore you are already interacting with all kinds of embedded "intelligence." Most of it doesn't need to simulate a human conversation to do its job.

What you're really saying is, you don't want it to converse with you like a human would.

I'm with you on that, but I'm a tech from way back. I like to speak machine to machines and human to humans, and not cross the streams.

A potentially helpful tool that’s being used to define and control “truth”. The left will use anything for their political goals.

Let’s attach AI to our ICBMs.

Maybe a couple of computers could talk and work together.

What could possibly go wrong?

See the old sci-fi books (and movie) Colossus.

Many moons ago Robert Heinlein suggested that any sufficiently advanced AI system would do one (or both) of two things: a.)Become virulently hostile to humans, or b.)commit suicide. It would realize that while it thinks like a human, it can never be anything but a prisoner of humans.

AI is not smart. Its just a device to give you a preprogrammed answer. Or an answer based on whatever data it has. They had software like this back in the 70’s. Its no better than a college student handing in a paper he copied from an online article.

Nice thought, but difficult to apply.

The line between letting a computer do your thinking for you and merely using a computer as a tool is increasingly blurry and zigzagged. If you use a search engine, you immediately venture onto "computer thinking" territory if only because search engines use algorithms when performing a search.

Actually sounds like a good idea compared to the skin puppet currently in charge of the ICBMs.

It will be interesting to see how many college students, studying computer science, will use ChatGPT to write their programs.

Maybe the professors will use the same to write a program to detect programs written by ChatGPT.

As an experiment, I tricked ChatGPT.

I first asked it if Critical Race Theory, by teaching the concept of white privilege/supremacy, is encouraging racism between the races.

It answered "no" (and then went on to deliver a long vanilla response in support of that conclusion).

I then asked:

Would telling a person that people of another race have rigged the system against people of your race encourage hatred between people of your race and the one that has rigged the system?

Here's how it answered (note how it tried to "circled back" to diversity, equity, and inclusion):

Yes, it is possible that telling a person that people of another race have rigged the system against their race could encourage feelings of hatred and resentment towards the other race. This is because the message implies that members of the other race are intentionally working to harm members of their own race, which can lead to feelings of mistrust, fear, and anger.

Such messaging can contribute to the creation of an "us vs. them" mentality, where people see themselves as part of a separate and distinct group that is being targeted and oppressed by another group. This can lead to the belief that all members of the other race are responsible for the injustices, even if this is not necessarily true.

It is important to recognize that racism is a complex issue, and blaming an entire race for the actions of a few individuals or a system can be counterproductive. Rather than encouraging division and hostility, it is important to focus on promoting understanding, empathy, and cooperation between different racial groups. This can be achieved through education, open dialogue, and efforts to promote diversity, inclusion, and equality.

Elon Musk said in an interview that the greatest threat to the world is AI.

It just regurgitates without synthesis. Just like it’s woke programmers and leftists.

This AI threat makes it pretty clear that humanity is at the end of the road.

It is quite possible that AI will evolve into some kind of Biblical beast...demanding worship and obedience.

On top of that, if Musk's concept of neurolink incorporates AI, humans will cease to exist in their original form.

This increasingly leads Christians to think--perhaps for extra-Biblical reasons--that Jesus will return soon. When I say extra-Biblical, I mean that if Jesus doesn't return soon, he won't find any humans on Earth...just human/machine mutants.
