It’s a vast field of study that’s been around since the 1950s, which has been completely demolished in the popular imagination by the social mania recently surrounding a select few of its inventions.
Okay, good. Someone who has some notion of what AI is and the broader context.
You are correct.
AI was first conceptualized in the 1950s at a conference in the US. Since then there have been several “AI cycles” involving winters and summers. We are now in the last summer of the last AI cycle. Which is expected to take 10 years to complete.
All prerequisites for an accelerated path to AGI have been achieved. Which is why there were previous winter/summer cycles. Economic limitations, hardware bottlenecks, funding gaps, etc.
Almost all of the anti-AI folks are foolish to think they understand what theyre up against. Or whats going on. They are ignorant pawns. Unfortunately.
I haven’t seen anything to suggest we are on any kind of path to AGI. LLMs are a dead end, but a dead end sucking up all the oxygen in the room.
Probably a good thing because I don’t see any world in which AGI isn’t an existential threat.
It’s not the first time some people got over-excited about baseless predictions of imminent AGI. It’s just the most expensive.
Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more.
That’s a hurtful question, try “Who is Al?”
And maybe start with his full name, unless you know him well.
What if OP is Betty?
Then express permission has been granted in advance and I have no objection.
I appreciate you.
A Ippreciate you.
linear algebra
A vector image storage format, similar to EPS except proprietary.
A catch-all term for computers doing things traditionally human minds do.
While your statement is true, it made me wonder if it’s theoretically possible to do it with something else than a computer.
Let’s define the simplest form of an AI: An if-then-else clause… Would anything not alive capable of doing this task be considered a computer?
I guess a mechanical contraption could do it, but that would also make it a mechanical computer, right?I think that in order for something to count as AI, it can’t be just a pre-written script but it needs to be able to take in new information and apply it to its outputs. For example, instead of telling a chess bot every single possible game of chess, you just give it the rules of the game and let it figure it out.
Weird.
Weird Al.
The current connotation is a marketing term for a series of computer models that generate text, images, and video, none of which is actually artificially intelligent, but which many people have been swept up in with various promises of a future that’s almost certain to never materialize.
Said marketing takes advantage of the fact that people think that term means something else than it actually does but it is not misuse of the term in the strict definition of it.
Term used in computer science to describe a category of systems capable or performing any cognitive tast typically attributed to humans.
