Also people in this thread are failing to distinguish between different types of AI. Siri and Cortana are weak, narrow AIs. Deep Blue is a narrow AI. They're very good at what they've been taught to do, but can't teach themselves new fields of expertise. Generally applicable self-learning AI would be huge though, although it carries some risks because it might be programmed to calculate pi and then convert all the Earth's mass into a hard drive to store more decimal places. Oops. Past general AI, you get a self-aware superintelligence which, if it is possible, will either find humans cute or erase us in the most one-sided fight ever seen.

Good, I hope we all die in a grey goo scenario that ends with a super powerful AI that's really good at drawing circles

Yeah A.I's are a cool fantasy

unfortunately they're just fantasy so far

we haven't achieved poo poo all in decades of trying. We're still doing preprogrammed robots and sensor controlled robots that cant do poo poo

The goal I think we're ignoring because it seems so inconceivable is general AI. Instead, we're programming "AI" for specific functions only. Maybe people hope that one day we can use AI alchemy by putting these all together, but I still think it would have a lot of missing functionality we'd expect a true AI to have. In theory, to have AI exceed human intelligence on all fronts, it would have to start off completely dumb and be able to learn by observing the real world with senses, and at the same time use a solid foundation for a neural network, and state-of-the-art computing power and storage.

e: Another huge challenge for general intelligence is how to create a reward system. What drives the AI to try at anything at all, and what output it gives is rewarding?

At the moment we set limitations on learning (populate neural networks with selected material, only allow real world learning in specific time-frames), but if there were an intelligence that chose what to learn and when to learn it then it could very quickly get out of control. I don't think it's unreasonable to imagine a specific, state-of-the-art intelligence that manages to go off the rails.

Exactly. This point is partially made with my edit in the last post. It's really hard to imagine how to set an AI's goals, and its intelligence would greatly differ from a human's intelligence. We have millions of years of evolution that set a foundation for our behaviors, whether it has to do with sex, food, laughter, and anything that makes us happy, feel more comfortable or give us a feeling of achievement. How do you make an AI that differs from finding something interesting vs not?

We are actually using it for a large govt project. In 2020, but they promised 80% self service in the chat, email, and voice channels. Lmao

I think we are a computer simulated copy of the real world. Some highly advanced being out there is running a history simulation to either develop ai or study something that happened in their past. This is why the double slit experiment thing exists. When you don't observe something it acts differently because the computer that's running us is saving processing power by taking shortcuts.

If it actually works to people's expectations (it won't), it will save you millions of dollars. However, like most stuff today, they'll end up using it anyway, and people will hate it, but the project will save them ton of money.

We have to spend tons of time "training" it too. So a lot of time money there. But the form is v simple and short, I just worry about the people that this will be people's first interaction with actual AI. Every citizen that calls will hit this thing, we expect 200 million interactions. A lot of "0" pushes to say the least. We still get billed for the interaction tho!

thats not a very accurate history simulation if the physics works differently. unless the universe that is simulating us is itself a simulation!? :psyduck:
