A fundamental misunderstanding of what the AI Singularity is, or AI in general.
It's a meme.
Your mom is a meme.
My meme is your mom.
* old comic
Whats the difference between an old comic and a current one? Did she retire or get cancelled or something?
A comic isn't really a meme. This isn't a comics community
I was making a joke about a comic (profession) as it relates to your mother.
a meme is a concept that spreads and mutates. this comic is a spin on the wide-spread idea that AI will surpass humans. hence, this comic is a meme.
This comic looks like it fell out of the 90s
It's not a meme. It's a comic, and a bad one.
All the more reason to not take it too seriously
I don't take it seriously. I just don't see why people would want to share an unfunny comic based on a complete misunderstanding of what the singularity is.
For those wondering, the AI singularity is a concept in which an AI becomes intelligent enough to improve its own intelligence and does so. The idea is that it continually improves itself over and over until it reaches the highest level of intelligence possible.
It is a potential Deus Ex Machina scenario - a God from a machine.
Edit: to be clear, this is not a scientific idea, it's not really proveable, falsifiable, or even testable in any straightforward fashion. It's mostly a philosophical thought experiment. A hypothetical.
This is a Lemmy’s sir
