Here is something strange that happened just now.
I was just commenting on something on this forum, went to the loo and when I came back I found this in the box:
Either he is so ditachrd Hello, Christy.
Let’s take oh no one go.No, I’m holding up nah.My polo is Mommy’s lost some medicine, foods and fruit.Some of the olympic accidents that’s five or six
There is nobody else here, no radio running, no Tv, there is nothing in this flat that could trigger this and I am wondering why my cellphone is having a mental breakdown.
A white haired man, wild eyed and disheveled enters your bedroom. He grabs you by the collar of your pajamas, takes a deep breath and shouts at you: “I’m you from the future, in 60 years beware of your Handi, it will kill us all beerwaaarrr…” And then he fades away.
“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.”
Can see it all ready!
Sinner: Forgive me father for I have sinned
AI Father: What is it my son?
Sinner: I have committed adultery twice this last week.
AI Father: Go out and do it again. We have a special this week. 3 times for the price of 2.
On a more serious note:
The AI learns from input, aka the confessions, so either, after a few thousand confessions it decides to kill all meatbags, or it is listening to a mass of deluded, mentally unstable or troubled people and has been installed by an institution known for worshipping irrational beliefs and goes crazy.
Also, who guarantees data protection, the AI is not bound by the rules of confession secrecy and could conceivably pass on the data gained to the government.
No it doesn’t, did you read the article?
“It’s not a confession,” said Schmid. “We are not intending to imitate a confession.”
Still, this is batshit crazy! As if this whole religion thing wern’t nuts enough (sorry, no offense but we’d not have half the problems without).
One could say, with the priests removed at least the children are safe. But AI will soon gather that information too and make God knows what with it.
(Ah, right, he’s all-knowing, eih? Is that what all the rain is about with no warning to build an arch? )
Well, all I can say is I sure am glad I don’t believe in reincarnation!
edit:
Ah never mind, I’m sure it’s a Clearview-Jesus - all data goes straight to the police, including facial recognition.
I can’t get work done…interesting AI article shared today:
It seems AI was developed by neurodiverse kids that assume all the data provided to the AI for training is true, consistent and coherent. This is a reasonable assumption for development purposes, in an academic or research environment.
The assumption starts to fail when feeding books to AI for training. Most books have serious editors that follow a fact-checking process and fix lots of mistakes. Anyway a bunch of books are complete trash.
When data to train the AI is lifted from the internet, and the prompts are made by common people, the assumption of truth, consistency and coherency are completely mistaken. The prompt can incoherent, false, inconsistent…idiotic. And the results will be consistent with the idiocy
From this perspective, AI may be like a math genius with capabilities beyond the average, but who is unable to deal with the world. The genius is very smart and very capable, but needs a safe university or research center bubble to flourish.
So, maybe the AI needs to be in a cool room within a mainframe and only people that know what they’re doing works with it. AI for everyone may just be techno-optimism, populism and a dead-end.
PS. I worked a bit with Wolfram Mathematica some years ago. Quite capable thingy. In the end, I realized my queries are below what the software expects as input, so I lost a lot of time. And a mathematician gave me the same answer in 5 minutes: that’s an ugly partial differential equation, no way to simplify it. So, if AI can help, it will help people already specialized and highyl competent in their fields, not the masses.
