Artificial Intelligence: It starts to create Art and is growing exponentially!

How refreshing, thank you.

Does anyone think this is going to be a smooth transition?

Hahahahaha!

Not for us.

Programs will never know that they know. How intelligent is that?

'At the Admiralty, we have no need of telephones. We have plenty of message-boys.' -- British bureaucrat, late 19th century.

Why do you think they'd never know that they know? How do you know they don't know already?

Because they haven't told us?

Who is this they you keep refering to? Where do they live?

How do you know they do?

Is that the criteria for sentience?

But ... what if the AI replaces 'the elites' too?

I think even the elites have reason to worry about AI.

There will be no AI explosion except their chipsets when a little bit of static is in the air or rain.

Sorry guys, but there are lots and lots and lots more reasons why a true tech future will never exist and humans are and forever will be the Apex predator.

Dbl Sorry.

except it doesnt A.I is the biggest scientific myth ever

Is that the criteria for sentience?

It's either 'are those the criteria' or 'is that the criterion'.

And no, it's not. And that is the point. Neither you nor I nor any other human knows quite what is happening with all those algorithms on the Web.

Are Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Elon Musk elite enough for you? Because they're worried.

The point is you don't understand how computer programs function. No human knows whats written in them?

Lulz. The speed of execution of code is too fast to monitor, that doesn't mean it isn't executing code written by, wait for it.... humans.

It isn't the code that's the issue, but what happens within the hugely powerful distributed information-processing system known as the World Wide Web. No human knows that.

Written? You mean assembled out of smaller fragments of code with the aid of computers.

You must be a programmer...

At the most basic level a streaming cascade of 1s an 0s, binary code is neither 'intelligent' nor self aware.

Try an experiment. Got to a light switch and click it on and off. Now do it real fast. Now do it so fast you can't see the light flicker. Thats still not sentience.

The code is not the machine. Is the DNA that made you intelligent and self-aware?

a reply to: Astyanax

The code is not the machine.

Machine code (dumb term anyway, computers aren't machines, even though they have fans and spinning disks) is millions of light switches going on and off real fast, all in unison. That unity is provided by software engineers that are most definitely human.

Is the DNA that made you intelligent and self-aware?

DNA is encoded. Who wrote that code? By the way, you're body isn't you, but you already know that.
If you meant, "Is (it) the DNA that made you self aware", no.

Intelligence is learned, also. Depending who you aspire to, intelligence as a product of education and knowledge in general, as opposed to wisdom which isn't about knowledge at all...

There are no degrees in wisdom, love, patience, forgiveness.

How intelligent or aware we are is not a measure how much we have learned or know but, more aptly, how much we are given to know, in the moment.

Sorry about my syntax, sentence structure, and punctuation, I'm underedumacated...

a reply to: intrptr

What unity? And why on earth do you think it's pertinent?

Your argument seems to be 'people program computers so computers can't be intelligent.' Non sequitur.

DNA is encoded. Who wrote that code?

Who cares? It's software, that's the point. DNA isn't sentient but people are.

Similarly, code doesn't need to be sentient for computers to be.

By the way, you're body isn't you.

Are you sure? How do you know?

Intelligence is learned

No, it is an inherent capacity. Confusing learning with intelligence is like confusing software with computers.

How intelligent or aware we are is not a measure how much we have learned or know but, more aptly, how much we are given to know, in the moment.

No, it is a measure of understanding. Something a bit different from knowledge.

I suggest a good night's sleep and try again tomorrow.
