AI, for or against

There is no intelligence in AI. It is just software that gathers information and spews it out in an interactive and often farcical manner.

Ha! Yes! You are right and you name it! No intelligence, farcicality instead. But wait a moment. What about these facts:

AI is already matured enough to help develop new medicaments in daily pharmacologic industry practice. E.g. to sort out new potential molecules for better efficiency and for lower unwanted effects.

AI is already matured enough to help develop new neurotoxic substances in daily warfare industry practice also. E.g. to sort out new potential molecules for better efficiency and for lower unwanted effects (= survivors in this case).

Same logic, same approach, dual use. AI works quite well for all knowing how to use it. Powerfully, effectively, ready-to-apply. Presumably none of the above appliers of AI may complain or may be mocking about AI's non-intelligence or about it's potential farcical manners. Why should we, then?

That great software can sometimes do great things doesn't make it intelligent. My point is that it shouldn't be called "AI". It should be called "software". When it's badly developed like much of what I've used, it spews out misinformation because that's all it found on the 'net. It supposedly "learns" by being corrected by users, but it's still just software. It cannot think. "AI" is just a stupid misnomer IMO.... well unless it stands for "Artificially Intelligent".

@Daihedz

then its clear.

For us the folks there is the dumb one.

The advancement on total we don't get informed about it! Nope!

Its behind closed doors used against democracy. For sure.
Then we MUST stay very vidulant & 'on the ball' so that BAD inputs don't lead to BAD outcomes >
but I highly doubt that the average citizen will have any say in the matter 😕
PS.
What about AI implemented to keep AI in check 😉
 
I know a bit about stargazing. So imagine my surprise when I mistyped Beta Lyrae in a search.

Eta is a dull magnitude 4.43 star in the constellation whose only use is a brightness comparison with Beta Lyrae which is normally as bright as Gamma:

Google AI Error BETA LYRAE surely?.png


NO. NO. NO. Silly Google. You are thinking of Beta Lyrae, the well known and interesting 13 day eclipsing variable:

I am responsible for my mistakes, but Google is responsible for its own.

Eta is the one top left. 🤣

Naturally I wanted to do some experimental questions to the Google AI. I am, after all, a Scientist....

Now if it had mentioned that I have turned my talents to solving Quantum Gravity and investigating Binary Stars these days, it would have been perfect.... 😎
 
Can I be both or do I have to take sides? 😉
AI (Artificial Intelligence) should be called PI (Pseudo Intelligence). It is a radical change in how computers are used. Before AI, developers had to model how a computer program functioned. But AI systems are not modelled by people, intstead the AI builds itself in training mode. At run time there is little understanding of what the AI will do in a particular context. So be careful.

Traditional Software often has annoying bugs. AI does not have bugs, it has hallucinations.
 
I think we should have one AI-user on this forum.
It should give one (and only one) answer to all new threads opened. For further answers it would have to be quoted.
It should only be allowed to learn from info found on diyaudio.com (and perhaps a few other carefully selected sites) and it should exclude it's own answers when searching for info.
Could be fun. (...but maybe to easy for the lazy ones!?)
