James P Hogan: The Two Faces of Tomorrow[^] is a good read. Don't worry about the publication year. The AI parts could have been authored last year. Most younger people will be surprised how little things have changed in the AI sector in 40+ years.

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".

I've thought about the same thing. If I want to have AI write a subroutine, I have to instruct AI's every step. I could say "Make a web page", but what would be the default output? This is why I think writing code for specific purposes is no different than writing it on your own. Sure, AI can make something generic, but if you want software developed, you still have to designate each instruction on your own.

American? Maybe they wear that smile because they're told to. If you're above 40%, they're either a salesmen, or a politician. If you think 90%, then boy, you're gullible.

Which it also was before the internet. That's just temporary though, as everyone is on Facebook and Twitter.

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.
Bad. The systems will continue to spew untruths and humans will continue to be too lazy to fact-check the misinformation. Such is my prognostication. ;P

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.

Ahhh ... but do you have to keep explaining the same thing again and again?

Errr...except the following is true right now 'Humans will continue to spew untruths and other humans will continue to be too lazy to fact-check the misinformation.' So not really that much change.

All of that has been true since the 1960s though.
There are orders of magnitude more software developers today than the 60s. There are orders of magnitude more money being committed to AI development today than the 60s. Average people carry vastly more computer power around in their pockets than existed (globally) in the 60s. Massive troves of digitized data sets exist today that didn't exist in the 60s. There is huge bandwidth available today that lets groups around the globe collaborate in real time that didn't exist in the 60s. Lets not compare software development of the past to software development today... it is farcical.

Does sound all that different than a programming language then, does it? You have to be absolutely precise and correct to have it do exactly what you want it to do. No room for nuances. When I ask ChatGPT a question, I keep that in mind and seldom get completely useless answers.

I believe that there is far more money and resources being used to search for Extraterrestrials too.

And yet there is still nothing even close to the actual meaning of Artificial Intelligence. Perhaps far more claims that it is the same though.
