Hey, Hal can you optimize my hard drive?

Sidenote, perhaps hunter should have used AI on his laptop

I don't understand people giving unrestricted access to AI on basically anything. Its at best a drunk toddler that takes everything you say literally

People believe it's actually AI when it's just a program. It isn't sentient.

Thats another pet peeve I've developed in the last few years. They're calling everything that does anything an AI. "Oh this coffee maker has AI. It starts itself every morning at 7am"

My house has AI that slams the door once in a while at 3AM

@cjd @CobaltSasquatch @Omega_Variant They've been calling anything with an algorithm "AI" for probably 20 years.

@nimrod @cjd @CobaltSasquatch @Omega_Variant since the 1950s

@sun @nimrod @CobaltSasquatch @Omega_Variant @cjd "Artificial intelligence" literally a 1950s marketing buzzphrase concocted to open congress's purse to researchers and corporations. It worked on retarded politicians in the 50s, still works on retards today.

@jeremiah @Omega_Variant @cjd @nimrod @sun this idea has existed for a long time and now it's real. what else are you going to call man-made neural networks that have natural language conversations and reasoning abilities? that's exactly what intelligence is. machine learning = machine intelligence.

@meowski @Omega_Variant @cjd @nimrod @sun they don't have "reasoning" capabilities unless you stretch "reasoning", the same way they do not have "intelligence" unless you stretch the definition of "intelligence."

Perhaps start by defining intelligence, so we can distinguish between it and artificial intelligence.

@jeremiah @Omega_Variant @cjd @nimrod @sun they absolutely do have reasoning abilities. computers excel at logic. they literally contain billions of logic circuits. abstract reasoning is an extension of that.

i will gladly look up the definition of intelligence for you: the simplest definition is "the ability to learn"

neural networks absolutely do learn, they can be "trained" with reinforcement learning.

@meowski @Omega_Variant @cjd @nimrod @sun in my opinion, you are making a semantic argument, hinging on the fact that words like "reason" and "intelligence" are appearing in two very distinct domains. The confusion between those domains is mainly a product of marketing.

Neural nets are not equivalent to brains, statistical "learning" on neural nets is not equivalent to reasoning, and the whole of it is not intelligence.

@jeremiah @meowski @Omega_Variant @cjd @nimrod computer neural nets are a mathematical approximation of a component of biological brains and the definitely do learn. they don't learn as well as a complex mammal brain because a mammal brain is a network of many neural nets dedicated to specific purposes. entire fruit fly brain has been simulated.

@sun @Omega_Variant @cjd @meowski @nimrod there's more to it than that. Brains are not just and only neural neworks. There are other systems at work including non-neural systems that effect the functioning of the brain.

Digital neuron to brain neuron is a very weak analogy, with a only a conceptual similarity. They do not function equivalently in that one may be substituted for another, or that one could do the other's function.
