  • Do you suppose Starfleet ever got around to noticing their personnel all seem to have miserable personal lives? Or was that part of the recruitment pitch? "Be Tragic! See The Galaxy!"

  • Artificial "Intelligence"

  • Hm? I was agreeing with your 2nd point. I was merely adding to that by pointing out that we've only recently begun to recognize non-human intelligence in species like crows (tool use), cetaceans (language), higher primates (tool use, language, and social organization); which leaves me concerned that, if an AI were to "emerge" that was very different than human intelligence, we'd likely fail to notice it, potentially cutting off an otherwise promising development path.

  • Ah, in that case we agree! I also believe that if a genuine AI ever comes about it will be quite alien.

  • Those are two separate questions, I think.

    1. "You think we won’t be able to use AI" -- If there is some day actual artificial intelligence, I have no idea if humans can "use" it.
    2. "we can’t recognize intelligence?" -- I think you can make the case that historically we haven't been great about recognizing non-human intelligence.

    What I am saying is that if we ever invent an actual AGI, unless it thinks and, more importantly, speaks in a way we recognize, we won't even realize what we invented.

  • I was being a little sarcastic 😆 . But I admit I don't understand the analogy; what relationship does human thought have to do with human sewing?

  • Artificial "Intelligence"

    Jump

  • You're right, thinking and sewing are exactly as complex.

  • 2 - It doesn’t matter at all, intelligence doesn’t need to think like us.

    Agreed, but look at the history of how humans have thought about the presumed intelligence (or lack of it) in animals; we seem to be bad at recognizing intelligence that doesn't mirror our own.
