Dear me.

Awful stuff.

See I think it's great 

Someone has an idea and can make it happen 

They aren't restricted

Creativity knows no bounds 

It's like a cartoon basically 

You don't need to be able to draw

And therein lies the problem. A lot of humans have very bad - potentially dangerous - ideas.

A post shared by Evolving AI (@evolving.ai)

I mentioned a while back that I was on a conference call with some high tech companies (Nvidia being the one most people have heard of) it was an interactive presentation with questions and answers flowing back and forth. It was only at the end, that we were told that 3 of the presenters were 100% AI, and honestly, you would never have known, especially as they seemed to have fully human traits, such as being distracted, stuttering over lines etc. This was all based on next generation technology (that is probably already out of date) - within a few years, you won't even be able to trust your own eyes, with regards to the content that you view online. It's fucking marvellous stuff

Yep, but that's like lots of things

Like money, drugs, sex , guns, photoshop

AI is not the issue 

People are

Until AI becomes fully self aware, and starts building rape-bots

No, but it will used by bad people to make those things easier.

Cars kill people.

Consider a totally driverless car controlled by AI

A child steps out in front of it and to avoid killing the child it has to swerve into an oncoming lorry thereby killing the occupant.

How should the car be programmed? To save the child or the occupant?

The occupant, as he's the "master" of said AI vehicle at that time

You would have the Tesla "Egotist" Model as opposed to the Tesla "Altruistic" then?

I would most certainly never have a Tesla, of any flavour 😉

Totally disagree.

What would happen if a business competitor of yours made a video of such quality showing you talking about how you like bumming kangaroos?

Or substantially worse.

All over social media, right into your customers' awareness.

It's a bloody sad world where someone who can't draw can make shit up and potentially spoil someone else's career as a cartoonist!

Being 'intelligent' is likely to become a far less useful way to get on in life in the years to come. As others have suggested - I imagine other qualities like creativity/imagination/compassion will become more useful commodities.

AI is already better at writing code than most programmers. Once it finds the feedback loop to start writing code for its own programme, that's when it'll become unrecognisably powerful. 

Right now though, thankfullu. It needs a LOT of human input.

I do think we will get to the stage eventually when we direct our entertainment - rather than passively sit and watch it. Don't like the ending to Game of Thrones? Tell AI what the plot SHOULD have been and let it rewrite it for you. Then refine it until you have a product. And then share. It'll spread more like 'memes' do now.

Which is a really dangerous place to be in.

"Re-writing" art, literature, history etc for entertainment destroys the point of it.

We read a book for the story, and not knowing what unfolds.

Self censorship in the extreme, with its potential, severe consequences

The ending where I just appear from nowhere and I get to bonk Daenarys Targaryen senseless?

AI will, via medical implants, detect the various mood changes music makes within your particular brain and will create music that will satisfy your current state of mind.

Dip into 21 Lessons by Harari, he makes some really good observations regarding AI

You can get to fuck if you think that's a good idea.

I don't, I enjoy music as it is thank you... Harari writes about where we might end up as AI develops

How can you be 10% AI?

If I had to be 10% AI, I reckon I’d just give myself a magnificent penis

I'll have a look, thank you. 

Yeah I've thought about this a lot. 

Say you listen to a piece of music that really moves you. Do you reject it and never listen to it again if you find out it's written by an AI that understands how to ellicit emotions in you? Or do you continue to listen to it because you like how it makes you feel?

Very subjective question I suppose. But is there something about the human experience that demands that any great work of art is designed by a human? Or do we just appreciate it for what it is? Like admiring a cloud and thinking it's beautiful - even if it isn't man made. 

Friday night philosophy club 😁

That's going to be a popular one I imagine! 🤣

Harari makes the arguement that a degree in philosophy might no longer be a useless qualification as AI developers need such inputs with their products, as I touched on earlier regarding driverless cars
