Opinion | AI Technology: 8 Questions About the Future

The human mind is static. Not much improvement. AI is getting better every day. more memory. Faster. more efficient. Don’t repeat the same mistake.

When another AI somewhere learns something, it can share that information instantly.

It’s like the difference between an ant and a human. Ants cannot fully understand what we are doing.

Quantum physics is beyond its capabilities.

Human minds can do much more than AI systems.

First, we can learn and adjust our own mental models in real time.

It’s something no artificial intelligence system can do unless there’s a system to help humans or artificial intelligence systems.

The goal of many artificial intelligence practitioners is to create what is known as AGI (artificial general intelligence).

Essentially, it is an AI that thinks and acts like humans.

But I actually believe there is something fundamental. Human beings have a brilliance of humanity that cannot be reproduced by machines.

And sometimes religious people call it your soul. Others may call it consciousness.

Whatever it is, there is something special and different about humans that technical systems can’t really reproduce.

The most apt analogy is what steam engines are to muscles and AI to brains.

Almost all adults worked in agriculture. Ninety percent of Europeans were farmers.

And now it’s 2%. Because we have powerful machines and wonderful things like chemistry.

what happened to the people? Well, we all entered the office. We started brain labor.

We became accountants, judges, doctors, TV anchors, pilots, and other professions that never existed before: software engineers.And now it’s done by AI

Imagine getting a year’s worth of work done in one day.

But more importantly, from pilots to accountants to lawyers, we train for decades to be really skilled and really, really good at every job.

And we take that expertise with pride and apply it every day, the same thing over and over again.

We spent the first 18 years of our schooling and hopefully earning a high school diploma.

So if you have to translate something, write a regular report, do some research, write a poem,

If you do math, for example, factorization, polynomials, whatever we don’t like, just give it to ChatGPT 3 and it’s done. Then pass high school.

And if you go a little further and get a degree in marketing, or even a law degree, you pass that too. GPT4 does.

So we are now in a world where AI can do what most Americans can do. And that’s really interesting.

Because you might think, “Oh my god, that’s threatening.” One computer can replace us all. “

And there is some truth to this in the sense that most farmers have been replaced by a few machines.

But would the world be better off if we were farming every day? i don’t think so.

I think we are in a symbiotic relationship. AI works with us. We will cooperate with AI

In a way, we would be much stronger as human beings by getting rid of some of the mundane things that are actually very boring to me.

And we can unleash our creativity, intelligence, and curiosity in ways we can’t even imagine.

If you think about the history of mankind, we have been legendaryly very bad at recognizing intelligence and giving it compassion.

Even if it’s in another human form.

Think of all the horrible things we’ve done to each other because of the color of our skin, the languages ​​we speak, the gods we worship.

So even when something is so obviously human, we often — to this day — refuse to acknowledge it as being the same intelligent being.

Building a chatbot is kind of like trying to build a human mind that reminds you of family thoughts.

And I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m just informing this strange generation.

I shouldn’t anthropomorphize it, but I can’t help but think I’m raising a 4th generation kid.

What information do you give this to function well in society?
