    @JDHood 10 місяців тому

    It seems to me that, at least for now, A.I. is just a search engine that is good at formatting the search results. It's a computer program that can only do what it is told to do. It's not "thinking" at all. But it's ability to format text leads humans who don't fully understand the tech to think they are having a conversation with a computer. The danger of A.I. is in what we (humans) direct/trust it to do. Using it as a reference source for information to be considered in human decision making is one thing. Trying to use it to autonomously manage the power grid or assist with air-traffic control is another thing entirely.

    • @eyoo369
      @eyoo369 8 місяців тому

      AI is not merely a search engine because it goes beyond retrieving information to understanding, processing, and generating responses based on vast amounts of data. While search engines index and return relevant content based on user queries, AI systems, like neural networks, learn patterns from data, make predictions, and can engage in complex tasks such as natural language processing, image recognition, and decision-making. Thus, AI encompasses a broader scope of capabilities than a simple search, enabling more advanced and dynamic interactions with users.
      The problem starts when AI are being used as autonomous agents to fulfill a task and communicate and engage with other AI’s. We lose full agency on it and bet on the hopes that the AI will function as how it’s prompted. But scientists are weary of that to let loose a swarm of AI bots that are all specialised in a single task and work together to complete goals. A bad actor can inject his AI with false motives and badly steer an entire swarm of bots to do something harmful or malovelent.

      Stephen Hawking while being brilliant lived a life of tremendous physical limitations. I think seeing how others can move around and engage with the world while you’re sitting there on a wheelchair connected to some computer just to speak. I would perhaps develop an anger for God as well. I just wish he will be saved by God’s grace despite his rebellion here on earth.

    What is, interphase with a data base, a human mind connected to a Longterm memory, for certain his own memory. Why can it Not be connected to the storememory of somebody else or from multiple memories....Today, I believe, from birth a child can be born with external "data" in his or her DNA, (that does have the potential to store information)
    That would explain why some people for example remember a second world war events but he or she is to young to remember they could not been there and explain it by believing in The reincarnation. I am a born again believer 100%, not reincarnated....
