"The Hitch-hiker Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams is still actual in AI epoch.
"I checked it very thoroughly," -- said the computer, -- "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is".
As an example of how little people really know about how basic life interracts ...
the mother, and the child she carries during pregnancy, exchange DNA
meaning that the mother's DNA is "mutated" permanently by the unborn child's DNA, and the "corruption" of her DNA increases with every child carried!
I can't prove it, but I am sure that "corruption" is the root cause as to why some women have children and "bounce back" as if nothing happened, returning to their pre-pregnancy form (the corruption only involved "pre-existing" DNA strands), while others lose their pre-pregnancy form forever, wondering why they can't regain their "shape" (the corruption involved "non-pre-existing" DNA), and why they are "afflicted" in this manner, but not others!
So ... to say that we allow ourselves to be seduced by probability-driven algorithms that can "learn" independantly, with no overriding "master guidance" that is based on shared societal values or morals (no need to involve religion in this discussion), and to allow such "entities" (when will they truly become self-aware, and will we recognize it before it is too late) without keeping those fully "air-gapped" from the internet, is, in my view, the most blatant act of insanity that any person could possibly contemplate!!!
The aging process is linked to telomeres because they shorten each time a cell divides, a process that leads to cellular senescence (aging) or apoptosis (cell death). When telomeres become critically short, they can no longer protect the ends of chromosomes, triggering a state where cells stop dividing or die off, and contributing to age-related diseases and the physical signs of aging.
Does anybody remember the ms-dos program "Dr. Sbaitso", the virtual psychologist ?
It was extremely simple but could really get some people frustrated.
With the stunning advancements of AI, the issue reported on in this video was only a matter of time.
One thing I'm happy about is that the awareness of it is now instead of 20 years from now.
EDIT: by the way, we are historically and technically at this point now:
EDIT2: And this is a nice summary of what's happening now:
I uploaded the image along with a description of the fault to several AI models and ChatGPT was the only one that got it right, not that I needed help lol..
Mind you ChatGPT was useless at helping me change the text colour when I ssh into a Raspberry PI, Gemini got it right first time so I don’t think there is a best AI, use them all.
ChatGPT reminds me of the old web crawlers, only it summarizes the results. It has no ability to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources. I wanted to know when the USCG Ice Breaker Westwind was retired as I knew it was the last one retired so I asked the date of the last Wind class Ice Breaker to be retired. Imagine my surprise when it told me it was the Eastwind. When I pointed out that it found an incorrect answer it searched again and gave me the correct answer. It was off by 14 years. It had used Wikipedia which is unreliable for the first answer. I have asked it 8 more times since then, getting the incorrect answer each time. It can’t tell reliable information from unreliable. information and it obviously is not ‘learning’. Still garbage in, garbage out. Not much has changed.
