AI Is Anything But Godlike
Excerpt from, "Full Dashclosure, Awakening from the human exploitation of DoorDash Singularity," by Jeff Thomas Black
If God exists wouldn’t God be more similar to an AI than he is to you or me? Actually, what’s the difference? Logically doesn’t God kinda have to be an AI or at least a being that functions not only at that level, but above? ~KOWSKY.eth (from the tweet above)
The more I learn about artificial intelligence, the more apparent it becomes that AI is ANYTHING BUT godlike. What we refer to as "AI," is the computationally derived, and poorly simulated output of black box AI systems; meaning they "work," and we don't know how, and we can't know how; NOT meaning they're approaching humanity or our human condition.
The common AI parlor tricks (albeit incredibly good ones) use our languages, databases, our sounds and our vocalizations, even audio-visual likenesses; even as simulations with talking heads, but never brains. One day such traits may plug into robots in human-like forms. AI robots may be able to exploit humans and humanity. They nevertheless, in the non-flesh; will still be non-humans.
Only because we HUMANS perceive simulations with imperfect information, can truly be fooled; for a while. A computer drum machine can play Neil Peart's drum music, but artificial intelligence can never be Neil Peart. Neil lived an incredible life as a member of the Canadian Band, "Rush," and died as we all will. To restate, AI can get us only if we fool each other, which is what rich and powerful humans behind corporations have always done, and plan to do much more of; to labor.
If we're unconscious in our daily lives or in our daily tasks, then we’re lost to the fundamentals of conscious thought; and one could argue that in that mind state, we're already in a great sense; dead inside. Unconsciousness is filled with far too much pain and tragedy to continue to endure forever. Want proof? See war. See poverty. See houselessness. See hungry families.
See perpetually stateless refugees and war victims. They're some of the most untenable costs of unconsciousness, on a global scale. We know war and statelessness are products of human unconsciousness (synonymous with insanity), because no sane humans could possibly do that to other humans; not even to sworn enemies. If you think we have to have wars and stateless humans because humans always have, I disagree with you. Additionally, I don't think we can persist this way. Using technology to plot each others demise, or it will come for us and ours, much too soon.
We humans create and "train" AI with limited data sets including our insane and imperfect knowledge, anti-human and financially focused-motives, and all of our unshakeable historic biases; unconscious and conscious; hidden and overt.
Imagine a garrulously greedy clandestine corporate cabal coercively controlling all assets in a universally unctuous universe; an Oracle of appslaves in a literal laboratory of labor laundering lunacy, deceptively dealing dirty data deeds and artificially intelligent inhumanity.
"...if we grow accustomed to accepting AI’s answers without an explanation, essentially treating it as an Oracle system, we would not be able to tell if it begins providing wrong or manipulative answers.” ~@romanyam, from "Motherboard Tech by Vice, "Scientists Increasingly Can’t Explain How AI Works."
Should you trust corporate AI systems with anything of importance?
Do you trust DoorDash as your Oracle?
