I’ve tried several types of artificial intelligence including Gemini, Microsoft co-pilot, chat GPT. A lot of the times I ask them questions and they get everything wrong. If artificial intelligence doesn’t work why are they trying to make us all use it?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not artificial in the sense that it is not fake or counterfeit, but rather a human-created form of intelligence. AI is a real and tangible technology that uses algorithms and data to simulate human-like cognitive processes.
I’m generally familiar with “artificial” to mean “human-created”
Humans created cars and cars are real. I tried to get some info from the Wired article but they pawalled me.
“Artificial” doesn’t mean “fake”, it usually means “human made”
Found a link to Kate Crawford’s research. The quote is near the bottom of the article. It’s interesting, anyway.
That’s what Gemini said.
Is human intelligence artificial? #philosophy
Well, using the definition that artificial means man made then no. Human intelligence wasn’t made by humans therefore it isn’t artificial.
I wonder if some of our intelligence is artificial. Being able to drive directly to any destination, for example, with a simple cell-phone lookup. Reading lifetimes worth of experience in books that doesn’t naturally come at birth. Learning incredibly complex languages that are inherited not by genes, but by environment–and, depending on the language, being able to distinguish different colors.
From the day I was born, my environment shaped what I thought and felt. Entering the school system I was indoctrinated into whatever society I was born to. All of the things that I think I know are shaped by someone else. I read a book and I regurgitate its contents to other people. I read a post online and I start pretending that it’s the truth when I don’t actually know. How often do humans actually have an original thought? Most of the time we’re just regurgitating things that we’ve experienced, read, or heard from exteral foces rather than coming up with thoughts on our own.
