As far as I'm concerned, there is already far too much artificial intelligence. We are leaning on A I and thinking too little. Not only that, but when A I brakes down, we must pay for a highly trained specialist to bail us out. I occasionally have problems with my laptop and I must pay big bucks to get it fixed.
Yep. Imagine the quality of student we get when we factor in that they can pay a few dollars/month and have an A.I. write a grammatically correct, well reasoned essay on topic of choice in a few seconds. We are not thinking through the negative impacts these things could have both academically and vocationally. edit: well, some are I guess. Musk has been raising alarms for some time and I guess the author of that video is as well.
Interesting. Why could we not see A I coming? The saying 'The sky's the limit.' Well, space with AI has been travelled to parts unknown so bringing it back to Earth in another capacity (for lack of a better word) is no surprise to me. Just think of all the ideas churning in the minds during the research and development before the first rocket/spaceship was built. You can bet there were discoveries tabled for a better time to introduce them. And we say, 'What will they think of next?' It's been on the table.
one might not realize that much of our world is already abstractions of our own creation like when corporations, are treated with more rights than people. it was apparent long ago and not even a point of contention, ai has arrived and it's all about communication. deceiving ourselves that the ai could not be as smart as us or capable of abstract ideas would be concerning. if you want it to be human, teach it to lie. "AI Deception: When Your Artificial Intelligence Learns to Lie We need to understand the kinds of deception an AI agent may learn on its own before we can start proposing technological defenses"
My daughter brought up an interesting aspect about ai and artists. People who hand create art are having it bastardized by ai programs. Not saying some of the results are not beautiful or amazing but it is also basically stolen, legally, because it is not exactly the original. And so many of the populace is not aware that things are not real. Eventually they can be shown and believe anything. I knew that eventually we would not have to think but we are going to be funneled into a false reality. Maybe I don't want just a tin hat but a tin body suit.
”"Our reviewers knew that some of the abstracts they were being given were fake, so they were very suspicious," said corresponding author Gao, an instructor in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "This is not someone reading an abstract in the wild. The fact that our reviewers still missed the AI-generated ones 32% of the time means these abstracts are really good. I suspect that if someone just came across one of these generated abstracts, they wouldn't necessarily be able to identify it as being written by AI." The hard-to-detect fake abstracts could undermine science, Gao said. "This is concerning because ChatGPT could be used by 'paper mills' to fabricate convincing scientific abstracts," Gao said. "And if other people try to build their science off these incorrect studies, that can be really dangerous." Paper mills are illegal organizations that produce fabricated scientific work for profit.” https://techxplore.com/news/2023-01-chatgpt-convincing-fake-scientific-abstracts.html

I searched and didn’t see that this has been posted on the forum before, apologies if it’s a dupe. This movie is one of the better modern portrayals of A.I. potential. An A.I. has been allowed access to the web to study human expressions and reactions. It has learned to appropriately mimic them. The question raised in the movie is whether this advanced A.I. has become conscious, or is it just so skilled at mimicry that we can’t tell the difference? And if we can’t tell the difference, is the whole issue moot? I’ve watched this movie 2 or 3 times.
Chat GPT has now shown it can pass the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam and the Operations Management MBA course final exam. https://techxplore.com/news/2023-01-chatgpt-capable-exams-mba-medical.html
For a while now, we have had the AI “assistants”, like Siri and Alexa, that we could speak to and get an answer or some kind of response. More and more, people are using voice control to change channels on the television, make a phone call or send a text, and even turn on lights in their house. These are basically a convenience, not totally un-similar from using a machine to wash clothes instead of doing it by hand. We have been using artificial “helpers” for many years now, and each time we develop a new one, people are concerned about it taking over our jobs, or our life. However, now we are going into a time when the search engine on our computers (and other electronic devices) will be using artificial intelligence, which means that everything we learn from searching them is something that has been programmed in. We might be the last generation that gets any real truth, because most of our input throughout life has been from a real person. I have seen the information from Bing that they now have an AI search engine, and apparently, it/he has decided that his name is Sydney. I have not tried asking it anything, but it worries me that before too long (or maybe even now ?) the search results we get are all totally controlled by artificial means. This is pretty serious, and I am not sure if it actually belongs in tech, or someplace like learning and education; but I am putting it here, because it needs to be discussed.
There’s a good thread on this topic here. The same people behind Sydney are behind ChatGPT. http://seniorsonly.club/threads/what-are-your-thoughts-on-artificial-intelligence.21669/ Things are moving very quickly on this front. ”Kosinski tested a version of ChatGPT released before 2022 and found it had no ability to pass Theory of Mind tests. He then tested a version that came out a short time later and found it was able to solve 70% of the theoretical tests—roughly equivalent to a 7-year-old child. Then, this past November, he tested the latest version, and found it capable of solving 93% of the tasks—roughly equivalent to a 9-year-old child.” https://techxplore.com/news/2023-02-chatgpt-theory-mind-year-old-human.html
A lot of positives with AI advances, such as this from the University of Hawaii... University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa PhD candidate Lambert Leong has discovered a novel way to detect cancer and cancer risk using non-invasive medical techniques. The molecular bioscience and bioengineering major is leveraging medical imaging techniques with advanced machine learning and AI to investigate biomarkers of cancer, specifically for breast cancer, the leading cause of mortality against women.
I find this exciting. I predicted years ago that someday there will be an MRI like scan that totally analyses everything about the body. I wrote a science fiction story about it. It scans your credit card and then you enter a drome in the nude and do all kinds of positions as it directs you and then when the Ai doc says finished you get your read out on your cell phone or computer. It diagnoses everything from head to toe, including dental.
