ARTIFICIAL INTEL DEBATE: FANTASY, FALLACY AND FRAUD
Something's going on in the world of Artificial Intelligence. On June 1 a very interesting podcast was posted on the state of AI. You can watch it here below. To sum up what we concluded on this blog thus far about AI: 1. it is not a life form (the human, material brain is the model, but AI is not a brain), 2. it can’t become conscious since it is a machine, 3. the word 'intelligence' is propaganda: computation is not intelligence, let alone wisdom, 4. its universe consists of data on the Internet; if it's not on the Internet, it doesn't exist for AI. AI is bound to become an echo chamber or a recycling mechanism of rationalistic Enlightenment mistakes. I don't need to repeat the entire discussion here, but we point out a few of the most salient conclusions. Also watch our weekend edition on 'mind children' ( link ).
