This is precisely the reason why I think AI has so much potential.
It doesn't have to be smarter than the smartest human to be of any use. If it's at least as smart and knowledgeable as a fairly dumb or ignorant person, then it could be incredibly useful. What's the use of building a fleet of robot servants if we can't load them with an AI which is at least smart enough to carry out chores, follow orders and communicate about everyday objects. We don't have to load them each with Einstein AI, just Bubba AI would be a big win.
- nl 16y agoYes, I agree. Too often researchers think that AI must be perfect under all conditions. The truth is that we adapt our usage of tools to their limitations all the time, which makes me think that AI-powered vision systems that work well in some limited circumstances would still be very useful.
