Going rogue here, so grab your tin foil and hear me out.
AI = artificial intelligence. As I understand it this implies intelligence, as if the digital being can think and process and create. But none of the stuff we are calling AI can do that. All it can do is Google stuff really really really fast. For example, if you ask an "AI" to write a war story about Vietnam it can almost instantly process mass amounts of data about Vietnam and the War and read hundreds of books, articles and stories about the military action in that country. It will then produce a story that is a sort of conglomeration of everything it Googled into a story that may or may plagiarize the info it processed but will definitely seem somewhat similar without flowing as well the real thing. But even then it is limited to the instructions it was given and the data it can access. Hence the black George Washington Google was putting out there. But is that intelligence? Or is just a computer regurgitating something created by a human? I think it is the latter.
I also think we are being sold a product that isn't what they claim it is. A product that will soon infiltrate your phone, your tablet, your computer and every computer. And if you are concerned about what big brother can see while you're on the net, or off the net, can you imagine what they will be able to hear, see, surveil and plant when they have that kind of access? Just saying, the whole AI thing feels like a slow and steady sneak attack on us and short of moving into a cave I am not so sure what we can do about it.
