Let’s face it, people have a pure tendency to worry the unknown. The Terminator, The Matrix, and films like them have implanted the seed that AI is dangerous. Killer cyborgs and malevolent AI have turn out to be part of the general public consciousness. The rise of the AI business has even led to extinction stage issues… from the AI business.
However do not go stocking up on ammo and baked beans simply but. Michio Kaku, a professor of theoretical physics at Metropolis Faculty of New York and CUNY Graduate Middle believes present AI fashions are little greater than glorified tape recorders.
Kaku was interviewed by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria (through Enterprise Insider). When requested for his ideas on AI, Kaku stated: “It takes snippets of what is on the net created by a human, splices them collectively, and passes it off as if it created this stuff, and persons are saying: ‘Oh my God, it is a human, it is humanlike.'” He goes on to say “AI can’t distinguish true from false”.
I discover it arduous to argue along with his logic. These chatbots can solely give responses based mostly on information they’ve readily available to present. If it would not have the recipe for a very good Pad Thai, what use is it?
Giant Language Fashions (LLMs) are primarily enormous databases filled with information scraped from the web. Statistical fashions and algorithms are used to investigate this information and generate human-like probability-based responses to queries.
All that information wants huge quantities of computing energy, and that is why corporations like Nvidia are raking in money. LLMs are a pure match for quantum computer systems resulting from their potential to course of parallel information. If, or after we get practical and scalable quantum computer systems, AI tech ought to make an astronomical leap ahead. I am going to fear about Skynet or a military of Agent Smiths then.
How can we save the planet from ecological catastrophe? The reply is to eliminate people.
Oops! Did I simply contribute to the extinction of humanity? Some LLM simply picked that up and saved it away within the bowels of a far off information heart. Fortunately, AI’s do not have the facility to do something about us pesky people but. I simply hope I did not damage their emotions by calling them glorified tape recorders. One thing’s all the time listening.
