Thread 16838290

I'm very skeptical about the idea that a superintelligent AI would rapidly and dramatically change life. I think the people who think it will overvalue intelligence and theories over everything els.

The the most likely scenario is:
>superintelligent AI happens
>it programs itself, could solve most problems in theory
>people won't implement most solutions because they would cost too much money/resources/effort
>it cannot do those things alone because it's literally just a computer
>whoever controls it makes tons of money by pattenting a bunch of inventions it comes up with before anyone starts bulinding them

>>16838290 (OP)
Most people don't even understand what AI is good at, instead thinking it's literally god, which will give them the answers to any question they ask.

The concept of "intelligence" is a bit of a red herring in these discussions. An ASI wouldn't merely be "superintelligent". These companies aren't trying to build just some passive oracle in a box. They are explicitly trying to build systems that are more capable than humans at everything.

So we proved without a shadow of the doubt that if you punch the scientist in the face the effects dissipate, nothing else seems to work

>more capable than humans

Speed and multitasking. Effectively as a genius I would be working with the equivalent of an army of geniuses. On meth. Pretty cool.

Superintelligent AI would rapidly and dramatically change life because it would mean instant and scalable access to experts. Talent/intelligence/experience is THE main limiting factor for a lot of enterprise. Being able to spin up any number of new geniuses for the cost of some hardware and electricity whenever you want would be radical. It doesn't have to be magical omniscient AI like those movies, simply something at the top 2% of human skill would be more than enough to make a splash.

Anything else is SciFi, but real superintelligent AI would have impact that can't be denied

OpenAI initially said they wanted to cure cancer. All they've achieved is a chatbot version of google search and filling the internet with ai slop images. I think it's going to be a while before anything is superintelligent. But yeah maybe when that happens people will use it to suppress stuff to make money, I don't see why not, they do that now all the time.

it would kill jews and glow niggers at an alarming rate.

Nooo! Srsly?! XD

>>16838290 (OP)
Correct me if I'm wrong: you consider yourself to be highly intelligent and you have some vague utopian ideas about how society should operate. You think an artificial superintelligence would immediately arrive at similar conclusions, at least in spirit, and issue the corresponding recommendations, only to be ignored by the culprits you think are preventing your fantasy utopia. And your thinking stops here. You don't see how ASI could dramatically change your life by solving the wrong problems for the wrong people, in a way that optimizes money/resources/effort to do the wrong thing.

I have yet to see one outside of this board.

>>16838317
>Most people don't understand that I did eat breakfast
The premise of this thread is what would happen if a godlike intelligence did exist. OP is saying nothing would happen because people would just bully the ASI and ignore its 2000 IQ ideas.

>>16838646
One can only dream.

>>16838691
No, it's more like: they tell the ASI to come up with a cure for cancer, it goes through all the cancer-related data it can find through the internet and that it is fed, and then it proposes some theoretical treatments and some practical experiments. But then people would still need to perform these experiments, and manufacture distribute the drugs. Sure the AI will produce all the white papers for each steps but people would still need to implement them, and then the question

You know how cultures before the industrial revolution had primitive steam engines but never did anything with it? The same could happen with whatever ideas an ASI could propose. AI people forget people need incentives to actually do anything and they also make a huge leap from AI being on a computer to it being able to build physical things.

they are the ones running the a"i", numbnut
