What a load of cobblers that programme was... ... did anyone learn anything they didn't already know? As I thought, it's just a 'catchall' term to group together a lot of technological wizardry... just advanced automation! What's REALLY scarey is that a lot of people will be taken in by it as some sort of 'alien' super power. The worrying question to ask is WHY has it suddenly got so much publicity? And to anyone who says it's much more than automation, I would ask, at what point does automation become AI? The answer I have is that automation becomes AI when you can interact with it in a natural way, such as writing or speaking, and you don't have to learn complex languages or procedures in order to 'communicate' with it. So in reality, it's just a user friendly interface to a group of otherwise technical processes... ... a bit like when Windows OS replaced DOS! That is already possible That is already possible. Somebody else has already done the hard bit, the programming. All you have to do is talk to it, and the more you talk to it the more it learns. It then puts 2+2 together and makes 5 and advances exponentially. The internet has been collecting information on you for years. All the AI has to do is tap into that, and it knows you better than you do... Edited May 25, 2023 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more convincing. Did you not find the Zelensky video troubling? A video of him in person giving instructions to the Army in his voice? Neither of which were him.

Do you really think you can have a voice conversation with someone you know, and not spot the difference between that and a computer program. did that avatar fool you, or that robot, or video games, or films that spend millions on green screen production. the real issue right now, is why are people so gullible, particularly in the things they read Edited May 25, 2023 by fools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Grey Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 That's like asking if the internet is a good thing On 12/05/2023 at 16:57, Anna B said: It seems the Scientists have just woken up to the fact that AI is a mixed blessing and we have to tread carefully. I agree. I've been watching quite a few documentaries about it, and it truly is amazing stuff but with inherent life changing consequencies . And it is proceeding at a break neck speed, so we have to use caution. However handled right, it could be the answer to a lot of our problems. But the people we have to convince most are those that are using it at the moment, eg, the big super Corporations etc. They are proceeding with it to maximise profits with no precautions in place, and no interest in the unintended consequences. We have very little control over them so need them to engage in a long term futures debate to see where it will lead. But in a society where greed prevails and money is all that matters, will they? What do you think? That's like asking if the internet is a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think you can have a voice conversation with someone you know, and not spot the difference between that and a computer program. You can't spot the difference because it REALLY IS THEIR VOICE, spoken exactly as they speak, with the same inflections and mannerisms. Maybe you should give up trying to understand something which is beyond you. Edited May 25, 2023 by Organgrinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
