    What gave you to understand that it would be otherwise? Always remember, the key word is "artificial".

    The dumbing down isn't just bad ... it's spectacular. And I have to keep listening to that it's a "trillion dollar industry".

      No appreciation for sarcasm, innuendo, puns, jokes, plays on words, history. The homogenizing of civilization. Having a conversation where "AI" is the mediator is exhausting. You have to "explain" everything until it "gets" it (or not) in order to comply with (its) "Guidelines".

          Tsk tsk... The same could be said about automobiles circa 1900. Or personal computers circa 1980. Or the web circa 1993. The potential of AI is undeniably profound.

              Well that does not really mean anything. Yes AI has potential, but it is far too early to say whether that will be good or bad for the world.

                Agreed, in fact the same can still be said of the 3 examples I provided. I just find developers whining about the current state of AI as equally ridiculous as those touting AI as the answer to everything.

                              It isn't intelligent, if you believe that nonsense then you fall for marketing. It does not deduce, nor produce. It repeats, based on input - and garbage in.. It can be used to make nice pictures; just don't expect any deep philosophic insights yet.

                                Probably more appropriate to note that the AI application you were using was stupid, in your opinion. To consider that AI has great potential is easy, all my life, it has been said that I am 90% potential. :) Like all things technology related, there is the good and the bad. Like everything on the Internet, it is too easy to be anonymous. Dreams are free. Goals are expensive.

                                    True. As was recognized at least in the 1950s. However "AI" as it is currently used is a marketing term. It has no real comparison to what was intended by the phrase "Artificial Intelligence" as it was used up to the point in the early 2000s.

                                      The term "Artificial Intelligence" had a specific meaning starting in the 1950s. The term now however is used as a marketing term. The products and attempts (or dreams) of monetization is hoping to build on the claim that this is somehow moving towards that reality. I see no evidence of that. I consider the best demonstration of what real AI would look like is in the movie "I, Robot" with Will Smith. He is going to work and a robot is running down the street with a purse. Avoiding people and cars. Will Smith thinks it is nefarious but it turns out the woman that owns the robot forgot her purse (with medicine?) and the robot went to retrieve it. And as depicted in the moving that robot even then did not fit the model of being actually intelligent. So myself I will wait to get excited until I see real common place behavior like that.

                                        True. As was recognized at least in the 1950s. However "AI" as it is currently used is a marketing term. It has no real comparison to what was intended by the phrase "Artificial Intelligence" as it was used up to the point in the early 2000s.

                                        True, at least 98.796% of the time (IMHO). But... there are some highly funded groups working on the real deal. Combine that with the "potential" of quantum computing and we may be on the cusp of a societal sea change.

                                          This same concept holds true for all human "intelligence" too. :rolleyes: The world may just get into more & worse trouble, since AI can speed up stupidity. :laugh:
