And is anyone claiming that the AI being demonstrated possesses consciousness or self-awareness? I sure haven't seen it. I don't think this is even a goal of the project. |

Perhaps a reference to the Goolag drone who got fired for insisting that one of their AI products is sentient and publishing confidential information about it to organize an outrage crusade against Goolag management that didn't take his concerns seriously. |

--- Quote from: eti on June 16, 2022, 05:35:02 am ---Ah the old excuse people use for something which they KNOW is a load of bollocks, IF they had the guts and integrity to ACTUALLY wake up and be HONEST. What with it being a complete daydream and technologists/futurists nonsensical daydream (and also the SHEER ARROGANCE of humans to think they can achieve human consciousness without a soul or a spirit, which come from GOD) - pushing said "completion" or "success" further and further into the future, and when said time arrives, that same postponement will have happened another 10,000 times between the first statement of "it'll happen one day", and the current day (which will arrive in the future), which was roughly "see" to BE that "one day". Utter baloney. It's a bit of sand with traces on it. Let's not get too delusional! You'd have more success trying to lick your elbow or bite your ear. It's called a fairytale, a delusion, --- End quote --- Well, let's perform a thought experiment, and see how things add up. Let's consider a number of tasks, and take two different entities, to perform them, and (as a thought experiment), compare them, here. For (test) Subject1, we will take someone from 1950, who was aged 30 at that time. They will notionally have each required skill(s), as applicable. For (test) Subject2, we will take each modern available (either purchasable or via possibly unreleased to the public, prototypes), in its most suitable form. Let the (thought experiments) begin (my apologies, I didn't realize how bad the forums table feature was going to turn out): Details of TestSubject1 Man from 1950, aged 30 Subject2 Latest Gadget/Prototype/EtcMaths calculationsThey would do it with pencil and paper, slowlyScientific Calculator, solves most maths number things, very quicklyVehicle DrivingCan drive a carSelf driving cars. Not necessarily ready for mass public usage, everywhere. But exists in prototype form, and morePlaying ChessCan play chess to a reasonable levelChess program/computer, can beat all human opponents, usually (world chess champs no problem, but computer chess experts can be tricky opponents)Information from a book and stuffWould have to look it up with paper versions of booksCan google it for answersAnswering a telephone, and giving intelligent answersCan answer a telephone, and give simple answers to simple questionsAlexa can answer simple and straightforward questions, in some/many cases, but not all In other words, a number of skills, which would have tended to only be performed by humans, in say the 1950s (with some notable exceptions), can now be done by machine. As time goes on, the number of things that use to only be done by humans, are then done by machines. Is likely to increase more and more, over time (chip shortages permitting). A question back at you. Apparently PI has recently been calculated to 100 trillion digits. How long would humans take to perform the same calculations (pen and paper, only) and would it be 100% accurate? Bonus side question. Would there even be enough paper on earth, to write out all those digits, by hand? |

I had already forgotten about him, as he is (IMO) obviously delusional. |
