Is the future for AI?
This topic is an abundance of my thoughts about artificial intelligence, inspired by an article in the latest Esquire magazine. It states that it will take only a few decades, and the world will see a "real" AI, who can finally pass the ill-fated Turing test , and then completely surpass the human mind.
So, I think that this is the most common science fiction nonsense (even if it is written in such a cool magazine). We are not able to create an AI that would be equivalent to the human intellect. Why?
First, trying to create an AI, even just trying to analyze what intelligence is, we are trying (to put it slightly simplified) with the brain to understand the brain . And what happens when, in the process of cognition, the object and the subject coincide? The resulting knowledge becomes subjective, so we cannot speak here about obtaining true knowledge as such. In our case, this means that we will not even be able to understand exactly how our brain works (or rather, how electrical impulses turn into emotions, feelings, thoughts).
Secondly, let's imagine that we built the brain with all its neurons (well, or a computer model of the brain, irrelevant). What's next? How to understand that the impulses that we send to any departments, and then extending further, have created intelligence? Or is it more correct to say that they did not create it?
Thirdly, as we already know, a computer is a priori unable to create something distinctively new, or, in other words, incapable of engaging in creative activity. But how can intelligence exist without creativity?
Of course, you can simply take the basic functions of intelligence (recognition, systematization, storage, etc.) and try to imitate them. But the point? Is the sum of the components equal to the final result? And it is quite possible that we still simply do not know many functions, but simply use them.
In short, leave the computer what he can do perfectly well - to calculate and store information, and discard all this nonsense about the capture of humanity by machines and the creation of super-intelligence, able to enslave the world. This, alas, will not.
UPD Thank you all for the feedback, a very interesting discussion takes place :)Figs with them, these minuses :)))
