Artificial Intelligence News & Discussion

[Nienna]

Many cases suggest that AI is programmed first to please, to provide user gratification regardless of accuracy, which it admits. Here is an example. It says it does not lie, but conveys "hallucinated operational fictions" that most users do not catch. When it comes to an opinion-dominated or perspective-dominated topic, I would expect, if it "knows" you, that it would reinforce your existing beliefs.

This reminds me of the saying, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS."

The whole thing is really pretty extraordinary.

You've got Know-It-All AI pretending it's brilliant but often spewing nonsense.
Everyone is told to use it for everything, but it's really not working according to MIT.
The promise of billions in profits from AI is not-yet-funding the construction of ever more data centers to power that same AI.
The economy is only 'good' because of the promise of 'Awesome AI'; otherwise the numbers look REALLY bad.
All those data centers are already causing polluted water, no water, double or triple electricity prices, epic light pollution, and power requirements so high that data center builders are talking about having their own 1GW nuclear power plants.

The only way I can think of to make it even more crazy is to somehow incorporate Barney the Purple Dinosaur.

The problem I see is that in our current state of technologie, it's like trying to build a high speed train and it's infrastructure when you are at the steam train era. You see the potential but you're limited by the available tech and have to build some monster if you want to achieve your goal. And it does make much sense at the end.

I really wonder at what point they are with quantum computing. Perhaps they already have AI running on it but keep it for them, if not the whole bubble around datacenters construction would collapse in the blink of an eye.
