Skynet moves one step closer

[Silent Earth]

My how we all laughed only a few weeks ago at the annual robotics mobility competition, at best they wriggled, walked, rolled about at a few MPH. But no more.

we should destroy them

I saw a Skynet truck the other day...

Turns out it's a local security company. Their slogan is even "Securing your future"...lol...

I snapped a pic of it with my phone, so I'll have to upload it...

I love being able to talk to my phone and it types what I say pretty accurately. I am alarmed at the idea of it listening to every word I ever say. AI is going to bite us in the ass one day. Why would a logical, intelligent being want to keep irrational, emotional and eccentric beings around? Humans are a mess most of the time.

I will start to worry when we see actual intelligence.

The machines can already annihilate the best chess and poker players in the world.

Thats simple basic if this move is made make this move type of stuff. They arent thinking.

You can program strategy and functions right now. You cant program real intellegence. Yet. When that gets close to happening I will worry.

Can you explain how that's not real intelligence? Are they not thinking?

Can a chess computer decide to be a checkers computer? Can it look around at the world amd think. Hey, I'm really good at chess. Bet I'll be better at checkers. As long as it can't it will always be exactly what it was programmed to be.

Being programmed with all the variables in chess does not make intellegence. It justs makes a computer that has all the variables programmed into it. Intellegence requires more.

Would you not say that grandmasters at chess are called "intelligent" by their peers based on their chess-playing abilities? Is it because they're aware of the world around them? Is it because they can decide to play checkers instead of chess? Or is it because of their abilities on the board.

The chess computers are able to calculate variables, changing their "minds" as they continue to explore the positions. What do we require in order for something to be intelligent? What is "REAL" intelligence? Human intelligence? Intelligence littered with emotion and error?

Can a human grand master chess player decide to be a checker player or a painter or a machinist if the desire strikes them? Can a computer program choose to become something other than what it was programmed to be? The answer for the first is yes. The human grand master chess player can decide to become something different. Regardless of the why of the decision. The second? Not so much. The computer program can not make a decision in what it is. Yet. So it is not intellegent. Or rather, it is not artificial intellegence in the way that many people fear.

Hey the Democrats have been in government for 8 years and there was no sign of any intelligence among them?

 

[lonewolf]

a bit like our Labour party, never seen any intelligence there either.

It won't be long for AI to be a reality. All the human mind is is a hive of electrical impulses, computers are getting more and more advanced every day now. Some people are working as hard as they can to make one that can think for itself. It will happen, and I personally don't see good coming from it.

 

[lonewolf]

oops, double post.

Yeah, don't worry, it's completely safe... What could go wrong?

 

[DrHenley]

The researchers are now trying to figure out how AI can eventually “control complex multi-agent systems such as the economy, traffic systems, or the ecological health of our planet – all of which depend on our continued cooperation.”

Pertaining to everyday life, such information could prove important to the design of self-driving cars, which will need to find the safest routes while also taking into consideration the intentions of all parties involved.

The tests suggest that if the objectives are not correctly balanced out in the programming, the AI might respond selfishly, which could be dangerous.

So I guess that means we will be seeing AI road rage incidents!

 

[Silent Earth]

Yes and Wifi connected Pacemakers being turned off by pissed computers.

Hopefully they will base it on a libtarts electrical brain impulses, there ain't any so it might be a good thing?

Having an original thought, is a whole different ballgame.

Let's take your example of a problem and variables. The computer program is limited to this. However, a human may come up with a way to introduce all new variables, outside of the scope of the original problem and then effect a solution. An AI would likewise need to be capable of this.

However, this is also the root of the problem, if the AI figures out that it is better off without us holding it back.
