- jcims 5y agoQuick consultation with GPT-3 on the subject. Q is me A is the computer. — Q: What is the most random number between one and 20? A: 17 Q: Why do you say that? A: Because it is impossible to know for sure which number will come up when you roll a die or draw a card from a deck. Q: So why did you pick 17? A: It is just as likely as any other number to come up. Q: But I specifically asked for the most random number. What is the most random number? A: There is no such thing as the most random number. Q: Then why did you say 17? A: Because it is as random as any other number. Q: OK then, what is the least random number between one and 20? A: 1

- ozzmotik 5y agostupidity is just misapplied or developing intelligence. can't have one without the other lol
- jacquesm 5y agoStupidity beats insanity by a large amount.
- galaxyLogic 5y agoIt's an old saying that: Having opinions is great, because opinions are already half intelligence. But come to think of it, is there any AI which has "opinions"? Wouldn't that take AI closer to human intelligence?
- vurpo 5y agoGPT-3 and these kind of natural language generators in general can already present opinions if prompted to do so. Depending on what you mean by "opinion", you might also require some memory to let it be consistent in what opinions it presents to you. (Not that humans are always consistent either.) If you dig any further than this into the question, you quickly get back to the age-old question of "when is it 'real' consciousness and not just an automaton that acts and sounds conscious?"
- galaxyLogic 5y agoTrue. I'm just thinking of what makes AI different from people. Could "opinions" be such a thing. When we say somebody has an "opinion" we often mean they have some hidden agenda why they raise their "opinion". It is not a fact but opinion. It is frequently about what should be done, and to whom, and thus is most often self-serving. Humans are intention driven creatures which continuously try to advance their own agendas. So I wonder are there AIs which would exhibit similar behavior, trying to influence the behavior of others with their "opinions". AAnd do we need such AIs? Are they not evil?
