People love to hate AI, but I think it’s one of the most human inventions ever. The majority of my internal human experience already runs on autopilot.
The life-critical tasks have been outsourced to various biological systems.
My heart beats 24/7 without conscious effort, thanks to the cardiovascular system. Digestion? Handled seamlessly by another system. Breathing? Autopilot. I don’t have to remind myself to inhale and exhale. It just happens.
Even many of my own thoughts seem to appear out of nowhere—emerging from my subconscious or triggered by something around me.
Is it any wonder that, in one way or another, all human technologies strive to replicate this internal ‘automation’ in the external world?
To me, it’s a beautiful—if ultimately futile—attempt to harmonize our inner and outer realities.
Yes, I also love infrastructure, but current AI is not remotely reliable enough to be called automation of thinking.
You’re absolutely right, I don’t definitely don’t think that we are there!
Although I do believe that humanity has always trended this way—starting with sitting on rocks, then shaping trees to fit the contours of our physical bodies as chairs. Now, we’re trying to shape abstract knowledge and “thoughts” to fit the contours of our individual minds for similar reasons.
Nah.
A proper AGI outcompetes humanity big time.
Do you see any other hominids around? I am but a layperson, but AFAIK, a matter-manipulating AGI would shrink our niche.
I don’t think humanity is able to halt this evolution.
This mustn’t be a bad thing. Maybe we get reservates.
light mode is against the geneva conventions
Screenshots should be against the Geneva Convention. Just post a link please and thank you.
Sorry and fixed! FYI my light mode is on during the day and off at night. I’m not a total monster!
No that would be a regular computer.
Your heart is not intelligent, infact the closest analogue would be a… pacemaker
The closest analogue to AI is your brain
No, because we still have the chance of ending ourselves before we achieve it.
I hate this person
Edit: linked BSKY post, not OP.
In my opinion yes, unfortunately. It’ll suffer from Gartner hype cycle soon but it’ll recover and will slowly get better every year to the point it’s really good.
The worst thing is that I don’t see any “stop sign”. Like f.e. with self driving cars it was kind of obvious that it’ll get ridiculously complex in real life situations, thus having a problem with legislation and mass adoption. But with AI? I don’t know, I don’t see any stop sign … Maybe that it never reaches this high mark we all expect?
I’m an individual. Just like everyone else.
I’m not
What is this? /r/im14andthisisdeep??
