@Gargron@arstechnica I have yet to encounter any form of machine or artificial intelligence that actually impresses me. Is it able to scan a lot of documents and images quickly? Yes. Is that impressive? Not really.
@arstechnica The stuff people insist on calling AI still lacks either qualifier. It is not artificial -- the data is 100% human works (mostly stolen.) It is not intelligent. It does not understand. It does not learn. It can't apply logic or reason. All it does is match vague patterns.
I admit that with people like him out there pulling the average down it could fool a person, but no, a thing with a literal 0 IQ cannot be smarter than a species with an IQ averaged on a curve to 100. Ever.
@arstechnica Musk, Trump et al says dumb batcrap crazy stuff and they have a fine track record of that. Don't report it as news, put in the rich loon of the day section. That goes to what Ars reported yesterday about SpaceX and Mars - it was an obvious PR attempt to deflect any reporting about his deposition that he couldn't get sealed and hopefully get few more sucker VCs to bail his company out.
@arstechnica@lisamelton You can’t associate the terms “smart” or “dumb” with what we currently call AI. The AI has no thought process. It doesn’t think. It’s just statistics and probability.
In the past, I would have thought Musk could tell the difference, but now, I think he’s living in his own reality distortion field.
Maybe there’s a nihilistic argument in here that the human brain is just a really good LLM.
@arstechnica who actually believes what Muskie says given his poor track record: Telsa "Self Driving", any "mission" to Mars or the Moon, underground "roads" in Vegas, and the dumpster fire formerly known as Twitter
@arstechnica Gas anyone tallied the predictions of Musk? My bet is he gets about 90% of his predictions wrong, and 99% of those about technology in the coming year.
Elon is not working on AI, and I doubt he has more insight than most.
Of course it all depends on what you measure 'smartness' by.
