AI is just a tool. Calling it "intelligent" because it can mimic human intelligence does not mean that we are at singularity or anything even close to it. All we really have from AI at this point is a search engine that can compose answers instead of pulling up website links and a very advanced and fast scientific calculator that can code and solve math problems. These are just tools. They are exciting in that they can potentially help speed up advances in the sciences that could be transformative. But people will still need people.
But calling a person "intelligent" is also risky because many humans are just mimicking what they have seen or heard from other humans. They don't have creative or curious thoughts. They don't generate novel ideas. They just consume media (like AI does) and then put it into their own words, nothing more.
I think this was the reason the ancient Greeks respected philosophers and were skeptical of rhetoricians. Those who studied rhetoric could generate "wining arguments" out of any set of data (like AI does) but they didn't really get to the core of justice, beauty, knowledge, faith, and science like a true philosopher.
I might be wrong about that but this debate seems to be headed that way. If AI is "good enough" to convince 99.99% of the public and is good enough to be correct 99.99% of the time, then who is left to question AI?
Here's an example... if AI can make coffee better than 99% of all human-made coffee, would that be good enough for people who like coffee? Or would you pay more for that one magical cup that is slightly better?
This will be the case in all human domains soon enough...
keep speculating like the cryptobros wrote:
Also OpenAI: "Someone give us $1trillion so we can build our product. We won't tell you what the product is (because we don't know), but we'll have a better idea after the money is deposited. Trust us, pinky swear."
3 years later: "Oh did we say $1trillion? Pretty sure we said $TRILLIONS. Please deposit more".
"AGI" is 95% marketing in its current state, actual products are 10+ years out with lots and lots of hardware difficulties to still figure out. But money will make people blind and crazy.
loved your post. reminds me of the first internet bubble. there will be a lot of massive bankruptcies.
