AI is not at all like real intelligence. Computers do not know what words mean because they do not experience the world as we do. They don't have the common sense or wisdom that people accumulate through the experience of life. Humans can understand the consequences of nuclear war. Computers can only predict the next best word in their response from a statistical map that has no connection to meatspace. | ||

> Humans can understand the consequences of nuclear war And I'm asking why. Nearly no human alive has experienced nuclear war. The nuclear taboo is strongly represented in any source an AI would have consumed. We know about the nuclear taboo because we've been told over and over. > Computers can only predict the next best word in their response from a statistical map that has no connection to meatspace This argument is at least 2 years old. The statistical map came from human experiences in meatspace. It wasn't generated randomly. It has at least some connection to the real world. Just because how something works seems simple, doesn't mean what it does is simple. | ||
