Opinion posts on AI
The advances of AI have been truly incredible. AI has encroached on nearly aspect of our lives and it is now trying to venture into the world of high art (something to be distinguished from pop/commercial art). In this post I talk about why AI has no place in this world whatsoever. I also ask why the merging of AI and high art is even being discussed.
There is a fundamental difference between humans and machines. Most people would agree with this. Hence, maybe we should not use terms like “intelligence”, “understanding”, and “creating” for machines as we do for humans. Terms like these (and others) are loaded and imply something profound in the existence of an entity that is said to be or do those things.
AI is not only fundamentally unintelligent but at the moment it is fundamentally over-hyped.
I present an academic paper here to continue my discussion and analysis that AI is slowing down despite the hype surrounding it.
I discuss how AI is still fundamentally unintelligent and, hence, the hype behind it is to some significant degree unjustified. I will use the GPT-3 to argue my case.
In this post I discuss why AI cannot keep accelerating indefinitely at its current pace. There’s only so much that we can pump into it.
