What do you guys think of AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

I still think this will be a competitor to the
Assisted Living/Nursing Home Industry.

Allowing the infirmed to stay at home longer.

I think it is going to be impossible to distinguish for human of Ai generated stories.
Is there a law for Ai articles to be to be cited as such?

It's already difficult to distinguish AI generated voices from real ones. I've watched some YouTube videos where I thought the voice was human and the only giveaway was when it mispronounced a famous person's name that anyone would recognize.

AI is going to eliminate a lot of jobs in the near future. It won't be long before the news is read on air by AI generated people, which would be an improvement, IMO. Commercials will have AI generated actors, as will movies and TV shows.

If your referring to the "deep state" and equating the U.N. IDK. It is more far reaching than the U.N.. The U.N. is becoming ridiculous as a governing institution. the US and other nations do what they want even though the UN has told them to stop. What good is it at all? The deep state has the big money all controlled into central control somehow. It is as consolidated there as anywhere. There is little the nations of this world can do without their approval. This is not a free world.

Aww, it's really cute. It's very rudimentary like character.ai, although character.ai has hands-free voice.

I clicked the Reddit button on the bar, and it took me to the Reddit sub. Broken Bear was created in March 2023, many light years ago in AI time. It was just a simple character to vent to. Some Redditor just created it to be helpful.

The sub is pretty defunct at this point, and the site doesn't seem to be updated.

How do people find stuff like this? A little sad that someone might think this rudimentary AI reflects the current AI if they found something like this.

I know what you mean. :) I go to the site now and then, just for fun. The bear is conversational, kind, and understanding, but can often say something completely off the wall.

You might like Pi AI, also doesn't require login and also kind, compassionate and understanding and also pretty much defunct. But Pi AI has voice which is cool. It doesn't have voice input but it does have voice output. Nice to hear a friendly voice sometimes. When I was using it a lot, I don't remember too many off the wall moments, but maybe I wasn't expecting much at the time.

The problem with AI is the fear it is producing in everyone. The newspapers, the politcal leaders, the supposed experts of all things. We read it all and it's scary. Problem is that much like covid-19 days, the available information is less then accurate or trustworthy and full of errors and full of misconceptions. Those who you trust to listen to, may not be as all knowing as you think.
All that aside the real fear is the abuse that will be entered into our everyday lives based on "AI" results that others, the afore mentioned groups or individuals, who will try to convince us that we are in danger.
I don't know what to add.
Somehow, keep a clear head. Somehow, analyze what you are being told and think about it. Don't be so quick to agree.
This life, this world we live in is full of promise and especially in this country. But it is less then perfect. The prime motivators for all, is power and/or money. It rules everything else.
 
I asked the internet how AI robots will help the elderly.
This was the response:

AI robots can help care for the elderly by providing physical assistance with daily tasks like mobility support, medication reminders, and household chores, offering companionship through conversation and games, monitoring health metrics, and even providing emotional support, particularly for those experiencing cognitive decline or loneliness, all while adapting to individual needs and preferences through advanced sensors and learning capabilities. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key ways AI robots can assist elderly care: [2, 4, 6]
  • Physical Assistance: [2, 4, 6]
    • Mobility aids: Robotic walkers, exoskeletons to help with walking and balance for those with mobility impairments. [2, 4, 6]
    • Personal hygiene: Assisting with bathing, dressing, and toileting tasks. [2, 4, 6]
    • Household chores: Performing tasks like cleaning, laundry, and setting tables. [2, 4, 6]
  • Health Monitoring: [6, 7, 8]
    • Vital signs tracking: Monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs through sensors. [6, 7, 8]
    • Fall detection: Identifying falls and alerting caregivers. [1, 2, 6]
    • Medication reminders: Prompting users to take medications at the correct time. [1, 2, 3]
  • Cognitive Support: [1, 2, 5]
    • Companionship: Engaging in conversations, playing games, and providing social interaction. [1, 2, 5]
    • Memory aids: Offering reminders for important events and appointments. [1, 3]
    • Cognitive exercises: Guiding users through brain-stimulating activities. [2, 3, 9]
  • Emotional Support: [1, 2, 3]
    • Personalized interaction: Adapting responses based on individual needs and preferences. [1, 2, 3]
    • Emotional detection: Recognizing signs of distress and providing comfort. [1, 5, 10]
    • Therapeutic companionship: Engaging with individuals experiencing loneliness or dementia. [2, 5, 10]
Important considerations: [2, 10, 11]
  • Ethical concerns: Ensuring robots are used to supplement human care, not replace it, and respecting privacy and autonomy. [2, 10, 11]
  • Accessibility: Designing robots that are easy to operate and accessible to users with varying abilities. [2, 4, 11]
  • Training and education: Providing proper training for caregivers on how to integrate AI robots into care plans. [2, 9, 11]
Generative AI is experimental.

I think its gonna become more and more essential in dating for the elderly? - we feed all our personal info in and post code and heh presto - gives us the best list possible or either male or female at a glance with recent photos also??

Without the desire, consent, or choice all browsers of the internet have incorporated using AI in their searches. They all are giving us answers to our questions rather than giving us the resources to figure it out ourselves. It is doing that now. Giving us the answer without us logically figuring it out. It is magically there, and you can believe it is right/correct/the whole truth. I doubt it, in fact I know there is more to the story. If you ask the right questions you might get close to understanding, but that is going to take a lot of practice, and trial and error. In the meantime enjoy the easy way to get your questions answered, it is much more fun and less stressful having the machine do it. :)

Most ideas about AI by ordinary people including posts herein, reflect a lack of understanding with the subject as a result of technical ignorance tending to think of AI in terms of classic computer programming which it is not or some primitive inane tech toy they bought that talks back to them. Note a good starting point would be to read Ray Kurzweil's 2006 "The Singularity is Near" that explains how brain neocortexes are 6-layer neural plasticity connected structures repeated as nearly identical cortical columns millions of times. We become what we do and experience through brain connectivity changes to those cortical columns. And "Garbage In Garbage Out" does apply.

IMO Singularity level AI will only occur after AI and neural science changes from current animal brain ideas that treat such like electronic circuits to one of neochord standing wave oscillation electromagnetic fields within organic neural impedance containers.

The below is a good Google search summary:


Artificial intelligence (AI) is similar to the human brain in several ways, including:

Neural networks
AI's neural networks are inspired by the brain's interconnected neurons, which communicate with electrical and chemical signals. Neural networks are made up of artificial neurons, which are connected to each other in layers. The strength of these connections can change, similar to how the brain's neurons change strength through plasticity.

Learning from experience
AI's neural networks learn from experience, similar to how the brain does. For example, if an AI network makes a mistake, the connections between its units are adjusted so it can improve its performance next time.

Associative learning
AI models can learn to make associations between concepts, similar to how the human brain forms memories.

Brain organoids
Brain organoids are lumps of nerve cells that can be used to perform tasks like speech recognition.

However, AI still has some limitations compared to the human brain. For example, AI algorithms are still relatively unsophisticated compared to the brain's inner workings. Some say that AI may never acquire a human form of consciousness, but it could become conscious in ways that are incomprehensible to us.

excellent advice for all bur especially us oldies??
 
l taught my mechanical a cat new word. When she would meow and moan for attention l would say to her Hello Hello and she would say it it back to me. One day when she was meowing for me to come to her to pet and l didn't go right over she started yelling HELLO HELLO real loud.
Even this simple mechanical cat can learn.

it's not 'learning ' anything it's just been programmed?
