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 grow to be part of the general public consciousness. The rise of the AI business has even led to extinction degree 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 mentioned: “It takes snippets of what is on the internet created by a human, splices them collectively, and passes it off as if it created these items, and persons are saying: ‘Oh my God, it is a human, it is humanlike.'” He goes on to say “AI can not distinguish true from false”.
I discover it arduous to argue together with his logic. These chatbots can solely give responses primarily based on knowledge they’ve 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 basically big databases full of knowledge scraped from the web. Statistical fashions and algorithms are used to investigate this knowledge and generate human-like probability-based responses to queries.
All that knowledge 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 as a consequence of their capability to course of parallel knowledge. If, or once we get practical and scalable quantum computer systems, AI tech ought to make an astronomical leap ahead. I will 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 faraway knowledge middle. 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.
