AI answers the question we all want to know...
- Thread starter cvsurg
- Start date
AI was asked "what is the meaning of life"
It didn't know. All it could tell us was what individuals thought it was/is, including "to serve the higher good".
Sounds like AI is limited by the consciousness of its programmer. Thus making it prone to reactionary processes on fundamental questions... that is; questions on the nature and relationship between being and consciousness.

There's just been talk on the news over here, of ChatGPT being shut down, so they can figure out exactly what's going on under the hood, and what developments are needed with version 5 (IIRC?).
There are multiple built-in problems, with it learning by data-scraping from real humans, and in the process inheriting the biases, and prejudices of the humans it is in effect mimicking (and presumably there is the compounding problem of it eventually mimicking itself, and other AI chatbots, once they have been quoted all over the internet for years).
Another issue is that they are predisposed to give an answer. Any answer - rather than say "I don't know" - which proliferates misinformation.
I used to program in early AI. Once you have given it instructions it would start doing those instructions. It would run away with itself following those instructions. The only way to cease the program was to turn off the entire system. Once you’ve felt that power you could extrapolate how with faster machines and ignorantly designed code these heuristic devices could be quite destructive. If they aren’t programmed with Asimov’s rules of robotics the machines could decide that we are a speed bump. There are enough coders/designers who do things because they can instead of asking should they.
In fact some folks in charge of people do things for their charges own good and don’t see the unintended consequences. Our last 100 years has examples in our own country. Even in the last 60.

It couldn't mention Rickenbackers without being sued by John Hall.
Me: What is better, lined or unlined fretless bass?
ChatGPT:
The choice between a lined or unlined fretless bass ultimately comes down to personal preference and playing style.
Lined fretless basses have markings on the fingerboard that indicate where the frets would be on a fretted bass. These markings can make it easier for beginners to play in tune and find the right notes, but some experienced players prefer the unlined option because it allows for more freedom and flexibility in playing.
Unlined fretless basses don't have markings on the fingerboard, so players need to rely on their ear and muscle memory to find the correct notes. This can be more challenging, but it can also lead to a more expressive and nuanced playing style.
In the end, the decision between lined and unlined fretless basses comes down to personal preference and playing style. If you're a beginner or prefer a more structured approach to playing, a lined fretless bass may be the better option. If you're more experienced and prefer a more improvisational style of playing, an unlined fretless bass may be the way to go.

All of my intelligence is artificial... always has been.
Even before computers were a thing.

The question is whether AI can change its mind.
As of now, AI gets all its info from multiple data sources, all of which was obtained & stored by humans. It’s for certain some of that data is incorrect. Some info in biology, astronomy, geology, etc. will have an error of some kind. We don’t know what that is, but at one time, scientists / astronomers said earth was flat & also at the center of the universe. That was eventually determined to be incorrect.
So if AI was deployed during the time it was thought the earth was at the center of the universe, what would it say when contradictory information started showing up, or would it ever show up? Will science simply stop and let AI take over, and if AI ever makes a mistake, who will know?
What I’m saying is; with the deployment of AI, we may never know what bass is best for metal.

I'm a biomedical scientist and I'll tell you for sure there is a ton of total crap scientific information on the internet. How does ChatGPT vet it's sources?
I'm askeered I'm gonna chat with a AI and it's gonna tell me to quit my band and form a ambient tech duo with it - or a death-metal Space-Odyssey industrial-dance band called Hal 2023.
Those basses make sense but it's not going to matter in a few years when AI is writing all the bass lines.
What is original thought?
"All in favor, say AI...... all opposed, say Nay".
"Well, folks.... looks like the Nays have it"
Besides, they just guessin'
