It was all fun and games two years ago when most AI videos were obvious (6 fingers, 7 fingers, etc.).
But things are getting out of hand. I am at a point I’m questioning if Lemmy, Reddit, Youtube comments etc. are even real. I wouldn’t even be suprised if I was playing Overwatch 5v5 with 9 AIs while three of them are programmed to act like kids, 4 being non toxic etc…
This whole place could just be an illusion.
I can’t prove it. Its really less fun now.
The upside is I go to the gym more frequently and just hang out with people I know are 100% real. Nothing worse than having a conversation with AI person. It was just an average 7/10 like I am an average 5/10 so I thought it could be a real thing but turned out I was chatting with AI. A 7/10 AI. The creator made the person less perfect looking to make it more realistic.
Nice. What is the point of internet when everything is fake but can’t even or only be identified as fake with deep research.
I’m 32 and I know many young people who also hate it. To be fair I only know people who hate on AI nowadays. This has to end.
I am often very specific about the meaning of some words myself, however in this case i doubt a textbook definition will do.
One can write entire books on what intelligence is and still only scratch the surface.
Words like “reason” and “understanding” are massive on their own.
Same with something like conscious. We do not understand it well enough for any definition to fit.
When people dismiss Ai as not intelligent they are not using a dictionary metric of checkboxes to see if it is or isn’t intelligent. They weigh it on their own subjective understanding of intelligence.
To give you a specific example.
I call them “ai” because i have the technical background to understand its field of Computer science but i don’t consider llms like claude or o3 at all intelligent.
I do consider them smart, clever and even knowledged but i personally put the bar of intelligent reasoning at a more conscious awareness of its surroundings close to emergent desire for self preservation. An example (but not necessarily) would be demonstrating a continual emotional experience.
I think that a good definition for consciousness is the subjective experience of it feeling like something to be. It’s the fact that there’s qualia to existence. I don’t see a reason for why we would need to solve the hard problem of consciousness in order to define a term we use to describe it. As far as I know we don’t understand gravity either but everyone still understands that term.
I don’t think real consciousness is required for my own standard of intelligence. I also consider consciousness without intelligence but agree they are often related. I mostly gave it as another example of something that we ourselves are not intelligent enough to have an absolute definition for.
Please dont get me started on gravity. Your poking an nest of autistic bees with that one. I have very strong feelings about it being labeled a fundamental force (which means it cant be explained as emergent from a more fundamental something) yet we all know the gravity “effect” as i have dubed it is caused by the curvature of spacetime.
“Spacetime” somehow not consider a fundamental force, but we have 2 types of radiation to both make the list.
Omfg you started it now.
Electromagnetism is emergent of quantum stuff. Quantum is not a fundamental force. Electromagnetism is. Aaaargh
Science is in shambles and a fucking joke (/s)
No, I don’t think consciousness is necessary for intelligence either. I just couldn’t help but comment on that because as a subject it’s close to my heart.
