Is AI "Artificial Intelligence" the new Y2K panic?
« on: July 27, 2023, 01:23:27 PM »
Haven't investigated all the implications of AI, but certainly am aware of all the technological advancements in my lifetime and those prior.  Nor am I certain of all the business or personal ramifications from the HAL computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Didn't hear this anywhere, but have a sneaking suspicion this is all going to be a nothing burger with minor life impact.

Just a random thought.  :popcorn:

I rack up all this AI crap to the question, "What can I personally do about it?" and come up with the answer - "Nothin'."

And life goes on.  :stoner:

Based on this, Skynet hasn't gone sentient yet.  :popcorn:

"AI will never be able to out think humans, until it can understand the concept of "That's so stupid, it just might work".

I'm not especially worried yet.

Some people may get displaced but ai can’t build a house or fix your car. Automation replaced a lot of people but it opened up more new opportunities.

Yeah... God's greatest creation is randomness, which humans recognize as evidence of having a soul.  AI is soulless and relatively easy to discern and ignore outside of academia.

It’s not a threat as long as there’s an off button  :-)
