What is the attitude to AI in the East? Our western culture has a vastly different culture. Perhaps our fear of AI is not matched elsewhere.

Deep Learning revolutionised AI and Computer Vision but, as I argue in this post, at the cost of sacrificing the need for creativity in finding solutions to problems.
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.
We’ve all seen image generators like DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion take off (for good and for bad). In this post I look at what the latest is with respect to AI generating videos. What has Google and Facebook lined up for us? Is this something to also look forward to?
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 review the fantastic book written by former assistant professor at CMU, Principal Speech Scientist at Apple, founding director of Microsoft Research Asia, and former President of Google China
I present an academic paper here to continue my discussion and analysis that AI is slowing down despite the hype surrounding it.
In today’s post, I wish to talk about new technology that has recently emerged from Google that’s related to the image enhancing topic discussed in a previous post of mine.
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.
