AI is artificial, but not intelligent. All it can do is search large amounts of data and cobble together an output. They can only find existing information. AI may produce faster and more extensive searches and may find correlations that human efforts could not identify in a lifetime but that’s all still existing information. In short, AI has no creative capacity. It cannot “think” of anything new unlike humans who create new formulas and works of art routinely. AI is not “intelligent” or creative. It’s just fast. In a recent experiment a supercomputer and a group of first grade children were given a ruler, a teapot and a stove and asked to draw a circle. The computer “knew” that the ruler was a draftsman’s tool not unlike a compass and promptly tried to draw a circle with a ruler. It failed. The children glanced at the teapot, saw that the bottom was round and used it to trace perfect circles. This is an example of adductive logic (also called intuition or common sense) at work, which children have, and computers do not. The idea of children outperforming a supercomputer might cause investors to ask just what they are getting for their $400 billion (and counting). In sum, AI will never be superintelligent, expenditures have hit the wall of diminishing returns, AI offers no creativity at all (just fast searches), and children can outperform the fastest machines when the task calls for intuition. I’ve said for years that all any computer can do is add 1s and 0s extremely fast. Most of them wait really fast for you to do something. However, when you don’t need creative ability from your AI tools, but just to do things reliably and fast. They are really great, like all computers, at doing the boring, dull things consistently. Just like a VA that you might hire in some third-world country, you have to give them clear instructions. This shows you how to get the best from them. https://link.wm-tips.com/assist. Regards, |
