I HAVE a human brain and I'm not too smart. It just sounds like we're making a dumb supercomputer
If your human brain could simulate a human brain, then we’d really be excited.
Computers aren't that smart either. But they work the opposite to us.
Things we are good at they are bad at (vision, motor control, speech) and vice versa (complex calculations, working memory)
Let’s hope so…
Same. I'll never believe in GP AI until I see a proof that a matching GP NI exists.
Barely related, but this reminded me of something one of my undergrad tutors said to me while complaining about the fastmath compiler switch: "I don't need my program to arrive extremely quickly at the wrong answer! I can do that perfectly fine myself!"
Even if we had AI that is no smarter than humans it would still be a million time faster at processing information
That's the smartest reply to this post.
