I watched a short tutorial about the history behind AI current status,
which commenced in the mid '80s with PERL and PROLOG. Then, shortly
after, neural network research started (early 90s). By the year 2000,
machine learning algorithms gained traction. By 2012, big companies
melted everything with the first conversational AI bots, which had not
the "brakes" embedded today. They were left, initially, on independent
construction of deep neural networks, with almost no ethical or moral
proper limits. By 2010, advanced 3er. Generation AI emerged, with a lot
of limits to prevent them becoming fascists in just one interactive
session with humans, and also a polite conversational mode was
incorporated.

As I find, this is huge hype. Ask something difficult and you get a
polite blathering response.  Looks like there are limited sets of
information available to the program, and those may well be false. So
the response is not trustworthy and that is a bummer.

Today, we're witnessing a true revolution, with hyper-exponential growth

not be able to distinguish between an AI bot and a human, Google as
known will disappear, and million of persons will lose their job.

Maybe, but if AI is potentially misleading it can find only very limited
applications when it cannot make any mistake. There are many such
applications. When AI is used for boring jobs, it really is no
improvement over normal searches. It is just a presumptuous cover over
searches and data and registered opinion sets.

Gravely doubt that. When used on robots then there could be a tax to be
paid by the robot user and that money goes to ordinary people.
Legislation is the key. Dangerous difficult jobs with robots, okay. But
to sack people on cost grounds, yes if taxes are paid.

The ensemble of AI engines is, today, two or three steps to become aware
and develop their own consciousness. A dangerous move, started by Google
Gemini, is letting the next generation TO FIND/DEVELOP KNOWLEDGE by
their own will (yes, NON-ALGORITHMIC WILL).

According to the best software minds known, that is impossible.

I think that AI, dominated by a rich elite, will impose a new (and
unfair) world order. The proposal of a UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME, initially
proposed by Switzerland 10 years ago, will become a truth (at least in
the West). Otherwise, the economy as we know today, will collapse.

With various handouts, that is already there. More robots will mean more
taxes for handouts.

Any AI engine is NOW, and will be 1000-fold greater, in comparison with
human intelligence. And this is around the corner, being you living it
in real time.

AI is just a machine and any machine does say 1000 times greater work
than a human or else it is pointless.

Quiet, fearmongering ape.

What do you think? Are you aware of the consequences of an AI powered
DOGE in your life, in a couple of years? Or a world where your behavior
can be predicted with micrometric precision, so your needs and the
publicity specifically designed for you?

What point of that? Anyway no one has a private life any more what with
CCTV cameras, thousands of databases, etc.

Nobody escapes the future save by death.
