How users use computers has very little to do for a useful AI.
- brownbat 7y agoOr... if most knowledge work happens on a computer, and you just want the AI to replace knowledge workers, then maybe how people use computers is the only thing the AI needs to know.
- Infinitesimus 7y agoProbably true for AGI but the overloaded term "AI" could be applied to learn from how people use software to _carefully_ suggest improvements. Usage stats could help you improve a user interface, teach users new skills (eg: "you always do this, here's a shortcut to save you time"), perhaps more personalized operating system interfaces and defaults. You probably don't need a fancy pseudo "AI" system for any of these, but that's the current gold rush so someone's gonna do it
- dorkwood 7y agoI look forward to the day when the term 'AGI' gets co-opted by marketers and we need to come up with a new term for true AGI (TAGI?).
- Braggadocious 7y agoThat's pretty absurd considering the average american has a screen in front of their face 8-10 hours a day. You're basically saying what people do for 8-10 hours a day, every day, for their entire lives isnt useful information to AI.
