AI is not intelligent, and AI is not human let alone “superhuman.”

AI is a program that matches numerical patterns.

I agree. I see a lot of discussion about the dangers of computers becoming “aware” and having “consciousness” so that the machines will be “intelligent”.

We are not there. Probably won’t get to that point for quite some time.

Still, this current generation of decision machines will be highly transformative for society. A lot of good white-color jobs can be done better and more cheaply by a solid algorithm that makes decisions using available inputs.

Financial markets, legal filings, media output, and political decision making will be transformed (right now) by the use of these things.

We may get more efficiency (which is good) but I think we will see a lot less use for much human labor (which is bad).

Sure it is.

You apparently haven't been using ChatGPT and other chatbots, have you?

Just a minute ago I asked ChatGPT the following questions and got the following answers. I'm trying to calculate the China exposure of various tech firms (like Advanced Micro Devices in this case). Not a bad response actually.

I'm going to go over AMD's annual report this afternoon.

Me:

Where does AMD report its revenue from the Asia Pacific region?

ChatGPT

AMD reports its revenue from the Asia Pacific region, which includes China, in its financial statements under the segment "Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom" (EESC). The EESC segment includes revenue from AMD's semi-custom products, embedded processors, server processors, and other enterprise products.

In its financial statements, AMD provides a breakdown of its revenue by geography and by segment. The Asia Pacific region is reported as a separate segment in AMD's financial statements, along with other regions such as Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and Japan.

It is important to note that while the EESC segment includes revenue from the Asia Pacific region, it also includes revenue from other regions and product lines. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the exact percentage of AMD's revenue that comes from China or other countries in the Asia Pacific region from its financial statements alone.

ME:

What percentage of amd's revenue comes from the asia pacific region?

ChatGPT

In AMD's fiscal year 2021, which ended on December 25, 2021, the company reported total revenue of $13.31 billion. In the same year, AMD's revenue from the Asia Pacific region, which includes China, accounted for approximately 31% of its total revenue.

It's important to note that revenue from the Asia Pacific region includes revenue from all of AMD's products, including CPUs, GPUs, semi-custom products, embedded processors, server processors, and other enterprise products.

AI is not intelligent, and AI is not human let alone “superhuman.”

Exactly what I was thinking when I opened up this thread. It's a "trigger" topic for me of late. 😃

It's lack of humanity is its Achilles heel, the chink in the armor, the missing scale on the belly of the beast (the gaping hole bigger than the proverbial Mac truck). Etc.

AI is outwitted by a superior wit, which is a low bar because AI has no wit. That's a human trait filled with subtle nuance. Bots don't get sarcasm, on and on. Bunch of rebus monkeys caged in a no-pun zone. No life blood!

AI is useful when controlled by actual humans with humanity. Humans who check human evaluation skills and ethics at the door submit to AI's nebulous "higher power." Same as what's been going on in voting booths and consensus committee-villes and establishment anything since forever.

Even bigger wretched hives of scum and villainy to the rescue, yeah that's the ticket..

No discernment. No questions asked. Mark of the bot. It's not only sad, it's downright

Un-American.

AI is a program that matches numerical patterns.

Without human perception, much less goodness.

It's Yankee Ingenuity that's more dangerous than an atom bomb. Life force: ankh key in Jew new ID

Ingenuity is a God-given human trait, the Spirit of Elohim. Pharaoh recognized that Joseph was filled to overflowing with it. I looked at that phrase in the verse and saw that Joseph inherited it from his mother, because those Hebrew letters say way more than any bot is going to perceive because... zero *curiosity*.

AI acts like it knows everything already, even though it keeps... "improving"? 😏

That's just plain dumb.
