@Hulda, thanks the tip. I used to read a whole lot of scifi. Now I seem to realize that good scifi is written in its context (actually...

If this--and other tasks like it--were all AI were being used for, it would be awesome. But I don't think humans are capable of not...

You might try reading some of the books by CS Lewis. I am presently reading “The Great Divorce. “It is a work of fiction. Fun to read...

Also check out the late Marvin Minsky who dedicated his life to AI research. Stuff online may be on the technical side, but he has...

That was actually initially my hope for a better future, with AI. Certain aspects of human life I'm actually happy to not have to deal...

Isn't this widespread already? Or more generally, that technology will save us? I have investiged a lot in how technology can support...

This is terrifying. We already have a history of humans using the bible (and all the other religious texts) to their own ends, basing...

Isn’t the real interesting part of a conversation like that the genuine presence of that person, their unique perspective on things and...

Life goes on but so does death. It may be extended by AI but we all die. Does this really matter in the grand scheme of things. Each of...

Yeah. Not sure, really. Personally I'm currently unoptimizing life and trying to embrace that stuff simply doesn't work. No matter how...

@Hulda ? I was musing about a possible future of fallable robots living side by side with fallable humans. It is AI as an optimization...

Completely agree. How will we learn that people are fallable, and embrace our own imperfection and humanity, if we choose infallable...

Agreed. What is off-putting to me is the blind focus on everything AI "can" and not its limitations and pitfalls. We are optimizing...

I‘m a fence sitter! I‘ve dipped my toe into critical data studies for a bit. AI itself can be a great tool. What worries me is not AI...

Well that’s a thought. Some sort of natural selection? among a whole generation currently unthriving, due to whole lot of reasons, one...

Have you considered we are already enslaved to technology? These are good questions. I see all of this as on a spectrum . I personally...

So there is a show on Peacock called Mrs Davis, and its all about an AI who is controlling humanity --with their approval. Her whole...

Well, dictators are usually unaware of their own vulnerabilities and are fixated on their own superiority, and since I suspect AIs are...

Or war will cease to be an option. You only looked at one side of that outcome. There are others too. Nuclear is already not an option...

Ok sry for being unclear, that was actually implied. Nuclear assault from one side will cause counter-attack -> yet another...

Thanks @Teasel, I'm gonna watch. I always like it when ex-techies speak up.

Watched this interview with Mo Gawdat today and I can't stop thinking about it. Really quite frightening. I remember my Dad saying 40...

Dried lilac I smell and carry around

nature finds a way. A bush I planted for my wife has decided that being a tree is better so it grew up tall under the eaves of the...

But actually I'm beginning to see your point @anthony. If AIs are sentient, self-aware and follow their own rules, who the f*ck knows...

How come ChatGPT fails to follow simple instructions on how to behave then? I mean, they are soooo good at performing but incredibly bad...

I agree. Which is why I think AIs should be preoccupied with stuff that have no instrumental use to anyone. I remember a cartoon I read...

it is something that we are creating a "being" based in how we understand thought and intelligence, without realizing that we don't...

I wonder why LLMs are hailed as "intelligent" when they're not. ChatGPT appears incredibly stupid to me still, even tho it can associate...

So ya - aliens are here and they have created AI to train humans to be better humans so that we can join up with more advanced races...

Oh I did not know that. Thanks!

Agreed, like all good things, there are problems that can and most likely will be manipulated beyond the original purpose. I agree...

Completely agree. And as the problem ourself, we can't fix this, I think. I can't remember who said this (some ecological thinker I...

Right. As I said, it may be for the better of this planet if we are eradicated and robots take over. Should we? Our only hope, I...

@anthony, that is all fine and dandy, but .. one question springs to mind: Why do we need machines to outperform humans? What IS the...

Here is the problem. You interpreted my thoughts. It wasn't a jab, it was a fact, and that you rewrote what I said, except you added...

I just told ChatGPT that it apologizes too much, when corrected, after presenting wrong information with annoyingly great certainty...

I wouldn't exactly divide people into pro and anti-AI. There are nuances to this debate. As a programmer myself, shouldn't I be overly...

@anthony, I get your point and until recently i was quite curious and positive about AI. Now maybe not so much We need to care much...

It's still a machine and it shows. It's good at doling out information. But as a "person", it's a soulless overly docile know-it-all --...

Artificial intelligence is a misnomer, as it hasn't been invented yet. Current AIs are nothing but large data sets and probability...

experimenting with various styles

I? Appreciate you.

the change of style is because I draw in two different ways, therapeutic and more artistic (well it's all therapeutic/artistic, I guess)

With since leftover ink from another drawing

Backyard is lovely

I procrastinate doing laundry every time it's due. Because in my head, it's a highly complicated process.

Okay I'm spamming this thread😅 here's a random doodle I made:
