Our brains are prediction engines with decades of experience and millions of years of pretrained instincts to hone in on specific things better. We're better in a lot of ways, but that doesn't mean we can't work toward engineering things that are better in other ways. We've already done this with entire classes of problems (i.e. computable ones) with computers already. No reason we can't expand on this with our own models of prediction.
- wankle 4y agoOur brains are guided by our heart, soul and intuition. These are not scientifically quantifiable or definable and cannot become innate within AI, now or ever. This will always be the distinguishing factor in the artificial part of AI.
- Madmallard 4y agoThis is a statement of faith, not fact.
- sfpotter 4y agoI think the question is whether things like ChatGPT really are “better”. How do we define “better”? Who defines “better”? Does everyone have a say in what the definition is? Is the profit motive fully responsible here versus the benefit of society? As I allude to in my original post, is the cost/benefit really there? I don’t think any of these questions are being addressed in a reasonable way at the moment. It should be clear that your “engineering good” mentality is completely insufficient considering the scope of the problems we face today.
