@wildgrass saidPeople start getting nervous about AI when it starts doing what it was made to do, make its own decisions.
A lotta talk about AI writing and AI art, freeing our time to do other things.
But I want AI to do my laundry and the dishes (like the Jetsons) so that I can do art and writing.
What do you want AI to do? Why does it seem to be playing in backwards?
I am increasingly planting AI in the “social media” zone of get the fvck out of here with that malarkey!
And with that, my professional opinion on the matter is that it is destroying society more than it benefits it.
Social media can reduce distance, give information, connect people; all great things. But it’s also a catalyst for polarisation, disinformation and the breaking down of constructive dialogue. The latter out-weighing the former in many folds.
AI obviously has benefits. But increasingly it’s becoming ever more intrusive. Men “dating” AI bots, spreading disinformation (bias, for example) and it looks to be heading towards decision making without human interference.
No matter how I look at it, even from the most optimistic of viewpoints, I can’t help but hear:
🎼 Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do, I'm half crazy, all for the love of you…🎼
@wildgrass saidI want AI to switch all the traffic lights to green, just as I get to them.

Oh, and take this to Technology, Spanky.
The post that was quoted here has been removedYes, it would be a relatively simple task for AI to monitor traffic and route it most efficiently through a busy city. I am constantly frustrated by idiotic traffic light management, or rather complete lack of traffic light management in European cities. They don’t have the bloody obvious concept of green waves, whereby a knot of cars driving at the speed limit will hit a stream of traffic lights all green on main routes. AI could manage this very efficiently.
@eYe saidIn the Jetsons the people drive cars but dont scrub toilets or tidy their rooms. What I'm asking is: why do we keep asking A.I. to do the fun stuff like driving but not the boring stuff like dishes and laundry?
It's a computer.
It will do whatever it's programmed to do and nothing more.
It will never have a conscience unless you mix the computer with biology. That would be more biology with enhancements than A.I. being a being.
If you only give it two options, #1 jump off of a building or #2 run into a wall, it will choose between the two, at random.
All our current A.I. is doin ...[text shortened]... cars by the year 2000.
(No we don't have flying cars, it's a giant drone that someone can sit in)
I guess we have vacuum cleaner robots but that's about it.

Machine learning is feeding information and letting the machine produce an own opinion.
What you are referring to is simplistic algorithms. “If 0 is not X then…”
Machine learning is that the machine is told this is 0, this is X… now tell me what the question to 42 is.
