AI: We have 3 years before AI takes over earth

I think his timing might be an issue but curious coincidence is the recent disclosure in Washington and NASA over the existence of aliens. There may be two scenarios...
Good news - Aliens have been keeping an eye on us so won't let this happen
Bad news - Aliens are AI

I met ChatGPT on Quora. I asked it a question to see what happened. It wrote a very fast, long answer, then said 'for further questions go here' and gave me its website.

It wasn't that interesting tbh.

I'm watching all this and I can't get away from the idea that people seem to be focusing on the 'intelligence' part and ignoring the 'artificial' part.

AI in its current form gives the impression of intelligence by handling so much data so quickly.

A bit like how computers can give you the impression of moving through an entirely fabricated landscape, shooting aliens, by processing billions of 1s and 0s at speeds we can't comprehend.

But it isn't real. There's no 'sense' being made because it has no intention of making sense. It's nonsense, even if it appears to make sense.

I also think that the human brains reading stuff created by ChatGPT etc are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in creating this impression of sense.

Our brains are designed to make sense of chaos. That's why we see faces in the clouds. It's not really there, but we see it.

So when we read an article written by AI, the 'intelligence' part comes from us, not the tech. We're projecting intelligence on to it.

That's why I'm not that worried about AI in its current form.

Which isn't to say it won't get scary if anyone does succeed in creating a machine with genuine intelligence.

1h 56mins.

Is this really worth a 2 hour listen?



As for AI taking over in general.. maybe that's not such a bad thing - depends on the data and the decisions made. I read some post on the internet years ago from "time travellers," (likely very clever fiction - well written) who claimed to have travelled to the future and back. They said that after a great war (WW3? 4?) that the world is governed by a network of supercomputers that distribute all resources as needed, creating peace amongst humans because there's no longer any fighting over energy, food, drugs, water etc. Everyone has everything they need and nothing goes to waste because computers manage everything in perfect balance. If something like that were done, while also considering the Earth's natural balances of e v e r y t h i n g (renewable resources etc) then maybe it'd be a really good thing that AI took over the job because humans are pretty s**t at it.

I let it play in the background. Listened to it, but not ultra closely. It wasn't terrible, but kinda glad I didn't fully dedicate 2 hours to it.. there wasn't really much said in 2 hours that wasn't in the thread title and OP. Meh.

AI is smart, but not THAT smart. I tried it many times and it lacks lots of knowledge as soon as it get harder questions. My hope for AI is strictly for medicine mostly, that I can see huge benefits. But when it comes to creativity, writing etc, AI at this time isn´t that smart, it gives very similar responds to a lot.

I looked up where authors make AI write romantic or sex scenes. If you want to have a good laugh, just read those blogs. They are absolutely hilarious!

Although modern AIs refuse to write sex scenes, they say they aren't allowed to

I'm so sick of impending doom. I wish whatever is going to put humans out of their misery would just get on with it.
