I like the explanation of AI with a pencil and googly eyes. Give the pencil some googly eyes and call it Mohammed, or Carl, and talk to someone with it, using ventriloquism or something, doesn't have to be good. They will form an emotional connection to the pencil and react, some even violently, if the pencil is broken midconversation in front of them.
That is the reason why people think AI is a thing. That is also why people think a god is a thing. They are wrong in both cases.
Gods are never real in a sense of natural science, they have no body, no voice; they aren't existant. They exist as an idea, a thought people have.
Gods never work in the physical world, none of them have a will, they can only be used to steer people through the people's thoughts.
ai is a thing though?
It isn't an intelligence, it's just repeating patterns (the behaviorism theory of psychology has already been disproven (if I'm not mistaken). This just shows, people percieve anything capable of speech intelligent (like parrots, bit not crows which are scientifically proven to be intelligent). I'm sure some of my fellow autistics could chime in and tell how we're percieved (spoiler alert, not great).
hello it's me, a fellow autistic. we've had ai for a long long time now, even before LLMs. just not AGI. just because you don't think it's smart doesn't mean it's not AI. the code controlling the creepers in Minecraft is AI too
is it misleading to call the code that's controlling the creepers in Minecraft AI? only recently did people start complaining that AI isn't smart enough.
