The promotion of the idea is somehow intelligent continues to baffle.

Computers have a vast wealth of knowledge, it is the world"s most extensive library but still doesn't include all books.

Computers are amazing calculators and can be used in all kinds of analytic mathematematical and other types of analysis.

But computers only learn what is input into them which to my knowledge is all been imputted by humans.

But if people can be convinced that they are smarter or could actually "learn" as such, without having any human input....therein lies the danger...therein is HAL.

The people do not know who HAL is! That movie needs to shown in every home to people. The human brain is the superior tool that is on the planet! However the human elites have purposely not enhanced the masses brain via bastardizing the education systems. This is a systemic procedure. The human is the superior technology on the planet that doesn't get utilized correctly.

While it cannot be denied that some young men find masturbating to Internet videos preferable to developing human relationships and that similar degenerates invent more and more lifelike robotic sex toys, the "sudden" arrival of AI has created unnecessary turmoil. Yes, just as one puff off a crack pipe can turn some people into addicts, the availability of information (and disinformation) from Internet's Artificial Intelligence can (and does) prevent us from solving problems while absorbing information that is being fed to us by nefarious sources. Consider the fact that BING's AI (Co-Pilot) refuses to answer any questions about Joe Biden.

On the other hand, if there is a lyric or a part of a line from a 90-yr-old song that you'd like to connect with the title, the writer, and the artist, AI can save a lot of time.

Just don't let it replace the dream that is our 3-dimensional life.

Thanks for the commentary. So much to unpack.

Given the fine speeches by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris this week, it is safe to say that Operation Mockingbird is working at warp speed to create a new vision of our dying nation. If we could live on lies, we could live forever.

I always thought that it could be used one day for people in old folks homes, you know, who have no family or friends. Or lonely people. Not just horny adolescents (or worse...)

Yes. I feel that A.I is something that is not good or bad. It is all about how it is used by the individual. I just do not like the constant P.R of it all. It is just a positive festival. This stuff will be a shroud on society. It must be discussed in a full expansive way.

yes, I agree

but is also how it is advertised to be used.

That is so crucial what you send. Thanks for adding to the narrative.
