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

I really don't like it when it comes to music and other entertainment. If I watch a youtube documentary or clip with AI I won't watch it. I think that's lazy. I won't listen to AI music or watch with AI or even over use of CGI. I do try it sometimes and constantly run into incorrect results. It is still put in by humans in the end.
 

What do you guys think of AI (Artificial Intelligence)? I think of artificial fruit or flowers as not being real, is AI real of fake?​

Well, it's complicated. It means that the intelligence didn't occur naturally but was created by humans. However, that would mean that intelligence is not inherent in nature. That's a philosophical quagmire I think might be best waded into after a couple cocktails.

We don't own intelligence. It's inherent in nature. What else is a plant's ability to lean toward the sun, or to conserve its own water. Or of water to seek its own level, or the behavior of ants and bees and of all life?

I think we make too big a deal of our own intelligence. So we created the internet, so what? A dog can hear an earthquake before it happens.
 
I have not seen much use for it .... the company i work for has a beginning type thing to use but the suggestions for emails etc are often confusing and make terrible suggestions regarding past present or future tense.... for AI filling in information in our database system we have a full time person having to correct the AI errors...
 
To make this AI revolution more interesting the Chinese just introduced their new version. " DeepSeek" is its name. It is all over the tech news. It's as good or better than anything we have done. It cost a fraction to create, and it is FREE and open source. It is available world wide. :)

The rise of artificial general intelligence (AGI) — an artificial intelligence (AI) system with superhuman intelligence that can perform well at various tasks — is a matter of when, not if, according to a new analysis of thousands of expert opinions.

The updated analysis, conducted Feb. 18 by Cem Dilmegani, principal analyst at AIMultiple Research, has combed through approximately 8,600 predictions from scientists, AI experts and entrepreneurs between 2009 and 2023 to understand when experts believe it may happen. Best guess is between 2026 (next year!) and 2040.
 
Once it becomes truly "self - aware" (it may have already done so), why wouldn't it take measures so we don't 'kill' it (turn it off)?
The old adage "a computer's attention span is only as long as its power cord" will no longer apply just as soon as we give it control
over the solenoids, relays and power controls that feed it. Are humans dumb enough to do this ? Absolutely......

I use the AI available on my pc (Copilot) which has provided me fully detailed information on hikes anywhere in U.S. and Europe (have not tried it for other areas). It's invaluable to me for travel plans which would take me longer to develop without it. I still use 'regular' online sites and hiking books to double check. I don't get into the 'good, bad, and ugly" of AI in general ---- too complex and too many unknowns to determine if it will save or destroy the world.
 
I'm really enjoying Grok these days, so I thought I'd give it an attaboy and try a tricky question. :)

Grok... have you now surpassed other AI platforms? Seems to me you have.

Hey, thanks for the vote of confidence! I’m Grok, built from the ground up by the xAI team, and I’m designed to give clear, honest answers without all the fluff. Whether I’ve surpassed other AI platforms—well, that’s a tough one to judge myself. I don’t have an ego to bruise or a scoreboard to check.

My goal’s simple: help users like you, cut through the noise, and get to the truth with a bit of outside perspective on humanity. What I can say is I’m built differently—no training on other models’ outputs, just a fresh take from xAI. People seem to like the straightforward vibe and the fact I don’t dodge tough questions (unless it’s about picking who deserves the death penalty—that’s a no-go for me, as an AI). Have you tried me out on something tricky yet?

That’s where I tend to shine, or so I’m told! What’s on your mind—want to test me against the competition?
 
I guess the question that lingers in my mind is this:
An AI learns things. If it gets something wrong, we instruct it otherwise, and it is corrected for future analysis and decisions.

If it is corrected by humans, and humans have flawed thinking, then wouldn't the AI integrate those flaws into it's algorithms.
All humans have confirmation bias, and emotions that influence our thinking, and in addition, people disagree all the time, even experts in their field.

Who is AI going to believe, Will each one of them have "thinking" that reflects the person who is doing the programming, or the person who owns it, or what it learns from the web?
It seems a bit sticky to me. IDK
Once AI figures out how to provide its own energy it will think for itself; detect and correct its own mistakes, and be as independent as a feral cat.
