Meshugger Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 I love how they talk about AI indistinguishable from humans as though that's something that's even going to be accomplished in the next few decades. When we get AI that's of human level intellect we're going to have more pressing questions than "Is it okay for me to bone this?" We're nowhere near that plane of AI yet. We do not even exactly know consciousness even is yet. 1 "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I love how they talk about AI indistinguishable from humans as though that's something that's even going to be accomplished in the next few decades. When we get AI that's of human level intellect we're going to have more pressing questions than "Is it okay for me to bone this?" And yet, human nature being what it is, I imagine "Is it okay for me to bone this?" will still be at the top of the list of questions. 3 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rostere Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I love how they talk about AI indistinguishable from humans as though that's something that's even going to be accomplished in the next few decades. When we get AI that's of human level intellect we're going to have more pressing questions than "Is it okay for me to bone this?" We're nowhere near that plane of AI yet. We do not even exactly know consciousness even is yet. Pretty much this. The possibilities of AI in the fields of image recognition, decision-making and analyzing language and so on are huge, but actual human-like robots are far away. Today it pretty much passes for "very cool" if a robot can ride a bike or pass a small obstacle course. They are not going to be like humans tomorrow, just like cars were not about to be powered by nuclear power tomorrow in the fifties. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name.

Things get a bit crazy on student nights during tuesdays, you know. It's hard to tell with all this over-arching, ever ominious patriarchy, it's difficult to control properly at times.

Quoting someone just to start talking about something completely different when the "reply to this topic" button also exists and carries no baggage of the assumption that one intends to participate in an ongoing line of discussion seems like a highly inefficient communication strategy.

Malcador Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Not really, some times a quote is just a quote to spring board something else on or as a quote is usually used to build a point on.

And, to be blunt, even if I'm completely in the wrong and Orogun's comment was entirely topic-appropriate and used in a manner consistent with standard forum practice, my points still stand. It's tiring to argue about the validity of research with people who seem to be incapable of grasping even the concept of confidence intervals. It's tiring to argue about biology with people whose education in the subject seems to be fully based on half-remembered snippets from high school and a smattering of pop-sci articles. It's really tiring to see that the most vocal anti-feminists are completely unable to understand what their ideological proponents even mean when they're using the word "patriarchy".
