I wonder how canned these queries are.
It’s like back in the 80s if you had asked a computer to “show me some culture” and up popped a painting by Da Vinci, that might have fooled people into believing the computer was cultured or at least would make you cultured.
In this case the capabilities of the AI are much more dynamic, and the ability to wrap the plants inside a light bulb is pretty neat, but that is basically a photoshop script. It’s barely intelligence.
Most people don’t know what intelligence is. They get easily fooled by demos.
The history of religion points to an opposite problem. There a superintelligence (God) who had a galaxy a worth of super intelligent beings (angels) could not convince the humanity he created to establish the proper relationship with him.
And what’s worse, people were just as happy believing in fake myths (such as the Egyptian, Aryan or Mesopotamian gods) and truly didn’t care if they were real or not.
Humans haven’t changed much. Some people will willingly believe AI is intelligent even if it’s not. Even if it produces nothing but comic book wisdom and fake superheroes, eventually they will believe that world is real too…in the metaversal sense. Humanity’s ability to deceive itself is infinite.
