My hypothesis is that we will soon see the emergence of a super-human artificial intelligence, not because of some astounding breakthroughs in our understanding of intelligence, but because of irrefutable proof that humans just aren't all that complicated to surpass.
- rhaway84773 4y agoI think this is right. Setting aside the creativity aspect (ie where do brand new ideas come from), which is a minuscule fraction of human thought, I suspect we are good pattern matching machines with the ability of extrapolation. I think with sufficient data that computers can understand, this is eminently replicable.
- oceanplexian 4y agoAgreed, artificial intelligence doesn’t need to turn into Skynet to be “super human”, just better than the average 85-90 IQ human.
- tayo42 4y agoThat's funny, someone must have given these ai bots an iq test by now. I wonder how it did
- pyuser583 4y agoPeople used to say “AI wont surpass humans, we’ll meet them in the middle.”
- avgcorrection 4y agoRight. But that tech will be created by humans, somehow. These misanthropist slogans run up to contradictions so easily.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoI don't think it's so contradictory, we have a long history of stumbling into technological advancement. We have a tendency to get ahead of ourselves before we even understand what we're doing.
