I seem to be more solidly confident that so-called (post November 2022) AI is a dishonest and incompetent fake, than are most people.
Partly, this is because most people are on the AI-payroll - but that doesn't explain by sureness.
The reason is I know that real science is dead in professional Big Science - and this has been the case for some decades.
What small functional progress we are seeing, is long-since Not real science, but engineering extrapolations of pre-existing science; plus a great deal of fakes and lies.
Real AI is impossible by my metaphysical assumptions (because real intelligence must be an attribute of a living Being. All the rest is tools, functional extensions, of Beings.)
But real AI is also impossible on the basis of actually-existing real science (which is now some decades old).
What has recently been touted as AI is (by its own admission) merely vastly-inefficient and -expensive, and top-down propagandized and coerced, engineering.
Which, to repeat, cannot be genuine AI.
And that is why I am so sure.
"Artificial intelligence" is a marketing name.
ReplyDeleteThough the definition of intelligence is a philosophical matter, we do know two things:
1. Computers are limited to computation
2. There are problems that can not be solved through computation alone (non computables). This has been logically proven. This limits what "AI" can do to computable problems
H. Indeed.
