The more I play with AI the more I realise that The "I" part of AI is just clever marketing. People who are freaking out about AI should just play around with it, you will soon realise how fundamental dumb it is, and maybe relax about it.
AI has no spark, no drive, no ambition, no initiative, no theory of mind, and it's not clear to me that it will ever have these things. Right now, it's just a hammer that can build 100 houses a second, but who needs 100 slightly wonky houses?
- srinivgp 3y agoUm. A hammer that can build 100 houses a second would be incredibly valuable, both solving and causing some very important problems. So good analogy from my perspective I suppose, but I don't think it supports your conclusion?
- jononomo 3y agoWhat do you think his conclusion is?
- Animats 3y ago> AI has no spark, no drive, no ambition, no initiative... Just add a cost function.
- elicksaur 3y agoThis kind of reductive attitude towards what it means to be human is what really depresses me, not current ai tech.
- fullshark 3y agoMaybe engineers aren't who you should be looking to for what it means to be human. This board can't answer every question you face.
- Animats 3y agoHe didn't ask about being human. He asked about having the capabilities to do certain things. We can no longer equate intelligence with humanity. Humans are just one kind of intelligence.
- elicksaur 3y agoSorry if my comment didn’t give enough context. I’m not the OP, so I’m not asking any questions. I was interpreting the parent comment as saying the spark of consciousness only needed a cost function. Personally, I disagree that our current neural nets are accurate representations of what goes on in the human brain. We don’t have an agreed upon theory of consciousness, yet ML businesses spread the idea that we have solved the mind and that current LLMs are accurate incarnations of it. More than the functionality of ai replacing current human jobs, I worry what we will lose if we stop wondering about the universe in between our ears thinking we know everything there is to know.

- numpad0 3y agoBut that had always been THE missing piece for AI!
- patall 3y agoWhile I do not think that it is impossible to get there, I totally agree that this is a key step that current AI is missing. Auto-GPT seemed to be the big thing that can outlay, plan, execute and reiterate complex tasks but ultimately wasn't able to do anything like that. Kind of ironic that it is reinforcements learning that the models seem to be so bad at.
- fullshark 3y agoConsumers don't want that stuff, they want junk food visual content, and a slighty wonky house, especially if they can get those for a lot cheaper.
- ssnistfajen 3y agoAI and AGI are practically two different concepts that most of the industry and the mainstream media are doing a poor job making the distinguishment between them. Also, 100 slightly wonky houses will sell like hot cakes if each one costs less than 1/100th of a not-slightly-wonky house. People will buy 100 of them instead of 1 and just live in a different one every day/hour so they always notice the novel parts instead of the wonky parts. We've had mass manufacturing for centuries and they always prevail when the trade-offs are acceptable.
- myaccountonhn 3y agoAccepting wonky houses is how we end up with favelas. It ain’t pretty
- golergka 3y ago> AI has no spark, no drive, no ambition, no initiative, no theory of mind So, it is completely alike what a lot of humans are like, at least at their jobs?
