AI and creativity.

[Thryleon]

You guys are talking about AI as it currently exists.

I'm talking about AI in the future, how far into the future is anybodys guess and its almost impossible to fathom.
Just like 100 years ago, it was impossible to fathom a contraption that could be used as a calculator doing basic mathematical operation any pre-schooler can do. When it eventually came to be, it was as big as a room. Now everyone carries that, and 100 other inventions capable of so much more, in their pocket.

What does 100 years from now look like??

30 years ago the thought of self driving cars was nothing more than sci fi nonsense. Now it exists.

Chat GPT is like the first fish that every crawled out of the water and onto land.
AI i'm talking about is humans taking over the planet.
There are a lot of steps from then to now, but it will happen. Time being the only unknown.

im talking about machines.

They don't think, they don't really learn, they just crunch numbers.

They can appear to be smart but they aren't.

The algorithms you've touched on that shape your thoughts so to speak are basic.  They take an aggregate of what you've seen, and then show you more of what you've liked or seen before because the goal is to keep you watching and liking social media.  They use data on your browser to feed you something you're interested in.  The mics are on, and key words do get used to display something for you, but use a different browser without the trackers and it falls over.

Quantum computing may be a game changer but these things appear smart and intelligent,but they aren't actually intelligent.  They can likely calculate a variety of diferent outcomes based on probability, data and information but they don't think, they don't learn and they can't really arrive at conclusion with intuition. 

Will things change in future?  Hard to say.  The ability to act and react to situations absorbing everything happening around is still reliant on data of some type be it an input device, cameras or microphones and they are still going to utilise a predetermined set of instructions to do anything and if the instructions are written poorly it will end up in a loop or a situation where the machine crashes.

I will not trust my life in the hands of a driver less vehicle.

Technology has come a long way, but I can't trust the best device I've ever used to get things right and that's the smart phone in my pocket.  It still does dumb shit.
