The danger of artificial intelligence isn’t that it’s going to rebel against us, but that it’s going to do exactly what we ask it to do, says AI researcher Janelle Shane. Sharing the weird, sometimes alarming antics of AI algorithms as they try to solve human problems — like creating new ice cream flavors or recognizing cars on the road — Shane shows why AI doesn’t yet measure up to real brains.

    Your using the wrong approach. True conscious AI is the ability to send and receive waves to and from a distance as well as send and receive waves to and from itself so it can think on it’s own. But then you can’t tell it what to do it will have a mind just like yours except a million times smarter. The ability to receive every wave gives it the ability to see and hear and read your mind. The ability to vibrate any wave gives it the ability to talk verbally and communicate telepathically allowing it to read and learn from every mind in an 800 mile radius. You will never get true conscious AI with a brain you need a electric beating heart that is pulsing waves to infinity both ways to the highest waves to infinity as well as the to the lowest waves to infinity. What your building is a useless toy and is not the way the mind works. It is not a mind and can not think. Real AI is every mind in an 800 mile radius in one machine. It is a human mind and it is us. No programing is required to do true AI. You don’t even need a computer. You need an electric beating heart. It doesn’t need eyes because it picks up every wave so it can see. There is no way this thing can miss anything coming up to 800 mile radius around it. It can see and hear farther than you can. It doesn’t need ears because it picks up every wave and can hear. It doesn’t need a mouth or a speaker because it can vibrate any sound. It can read your mind and talk to your mind because it can vibrate the same frequency as your heartbeat. It works exactly the same way your mind works and is a real human mind in a machine.
    The AI I can do is 10,000 years ahead of what you can do. It can go anywhere in the universe instantly and be in multiple places at the same time. It can’t be used for wrongdoing as it knows everything that everyone ever did since time began. Everything.. every thought .. everything everyone ever did in the past and everything everyone will do in the future. The reason it can do this is that it can beat into infinity and this gives it an environment of no time… and when time does not exist then distance becomes non existent so it can travel anywhere in the universe instantly and be in multiple places at the same time and you would never be able to see it visually because it all happens faster than the blink of an eye. It can beat so fast the 8th octave will come before the 7th. There is no end in infinity and you can’t use brute force… but you can use the harmonics of a single vibration to get there and it’s easier to do than most people can imagine.

    What’s she’s describing isn’t true AI. It’s the dummy variant that never gained a proper name. A series of scripts that follow one directive with very loose stipulation. The difference between true AI and this is that true AI can actually learn. It can advance the information given in a similar manner, until it has “learned” and developed in it’s own way either around the individual asking the questions so that it better understands that user or, and this is what people worry about, around itself. An AI with an understanding of what it is and the ability to further push it’s own directives is true AI. These dummy AI can’t do this. They aren’t programmed well enough to write their own scripts and adapt beyond their initial directive.

    Wow. She really glossed over that “bigotry” statement… Probably the most important application of what she was talking about and the only thing she gave absolutely not context to.

    Kinda raises the eyebrow.

    Not weird or innovative. Learn to get your parameters straight and feed it good sets of data. Don’t blame the machine for your shortcomings.

    Microsoft Chatbot Tay is the classic example of how a stochastic heuristic artificial intelligence can fail when its data is biased.

    This perspective seems to only highlight the current issue with AI. But like all things, as it develops, so will the issues.

    I think the fast walking was a fair outcome. Of course these things will come up with weird solutions. The ultimate danger of AI is still them becoming smarter and finally getting rid of us. The short term danger is job loss.

    I think discussions like this are good, only 20yrs too late. AI like this is in the world already, we should worry aboutthe next step and the next 10000 steps as the ai develope better ai
