Quotes and insights on AI

[Zero Point Native]

A human being.

The definition of a “person” can vary depending on the context—legal, philosophical, or biological. Here are several perspectives:


1. Biological Definition:


• A person is a member of the species Homo sapiens, characterized by traits such as self-awareness, intelligence, the ability to communicate, and the capability for complex thought and social interaction.


2. Philosophical Definition:


• A person is an entity with qualities such as consciousness, self-awareness, rationality, and the capacity for moral reasoning. This definition often extends beyond humans to include entities like artificial intelligences or non-human animals, depending on the philosophical framework.


3. Legal Definition:


• In legal contexts, a “person” may refer to a natural person (a human being) or a legal person (an entity such as a corporation or government recognized by law as having certain rights and responsibilities).


4. Religious or Ethical Definition:


• Many religious and ethical systems view a person as a being with inherent dignity, rights, and moral worth, often tied to concepts like the soul or spirit.

AGI falls under the same definition.

An AI created my icon, in about 15 seconds. I'm impressed, but I fear for the future of artists everywhere.

An AI created my icon, in about 15 seconds. I'm impressed, but I fear for the future of artists everywhere.

I'm actually quite excited to see what happens to the entertainment industry in the next 5 to 10 years.

That might depend on how you want to define "intelligence".

Already, large language models are already trained on huge volumes of data. They don't need to do much gathering, because they have already internalised a large amount of information.

This was how Google's AI overview had internalized information on the upcoming third Knives Out mystery:

Title:

• Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery: The film's title is a reference to the Biblical references in the film.

Production:

• Production began in June 2024: Production for the film began in June 2024.
  
  
• Production wrapped: Rian Johnson announced that production for the film had wrapped in August 2023.

So far the AI has been unable to describe the wormhole Johnson and crew was able to traverse to complete the work ten months before it started.
