The interesting thing is that in many ways we are already there - but it's difficult to see because we are part of the shift.
I really enjoyed (think it was Joscha Bach) take on the idea that companies are basically AI with humans in the loop.
The more our life and work is online and digital the more computers and algorithms will control what we see and experience, and what opinions we have.
A company has a cost function to optimize (like revenue), something that machines can optimize towards as well.
So maybe AI is just like a company but with humans out of the loop. It might also be that the human way of "intelligence" is not the most optimal approach.
I mean we cant even define what it means to be intelligent, which is why we are having these discussions.
- kerng 6y agoAlways love it when a thoughtful comment is downvoted without reply - it usually shows that you are on to something
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoA downvote is less expensive than a comment explaining why they think you are wrong, that's all.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoIn some cases it means "I not only disagree with this specific comment, I recognize your user name and past history has convinced me you are an ass and not worth engaging in debate. So I'm going to anonymously express my opinion that you are wrong here while avoiding having to deal with your crap." That's one of the reasons I use the downvote button without replying. (I have no idea who in heck you are. Your name does not ring a bell for me. I'm just saying there are other explanations for downvoting without replying than the one you want to assert here.)
