khwarezm posted:I'm trying to garner how far along this technology is exactly. Its hard to know if the hype coming from Technological singularity futurist tech fanboys actually has much merit to it. Still though, technology seems to be moving so fast these days. Well while "human-level" AI is kind of non-specific, I'm guessing you mean a program that can completely emulate all the functions of the human brain, or exceed those functions? That's really indeterminable, because we humans still don't have a full understanding how the human brain works, or the hardware to be able to understand/emulate the complexity of the human brain (neural nets are only a very simple approximation). But! That doesn't mean we can't have programs that can create meaningful artwork (but that also depends on your definition of meaningful - if you mean programs that can insert into artwork all the subtlty and analogy of a life lived, then, no. If you mean programs that can emulate the style of an artist or many artists and produce unique derivative works in a style or amalgamation of styles, that's possible now! https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/02/computer-algorithm-recreates-van-gogh-painting-picasso . In the same vain, software can be made now that has the capability to extract from and provide facts on input data, and we also have programs that can talk quite convincingly (see the latest chat bots), but it's only facade of the real depth human intelligence. Artifical Intelligence is like the limit of a curve on a graph - we are moving faster and faster towards that goal every day, and all along the way we are solving important problems with the bits and pieces of progress, chipping away at those problems that we think a real artifical intelligence would be useful for. But projecting from now, that limit will never be reached. It's like that poo poo you would hear in middle school: "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars!". Nobodies hitting the moon, but we're ever-increasingly snuffing starts out left and right.
