It's asked another question, no question mark again, and no awareness that were having a conversation about it being artificial.

this is so interesting to me, the sheer complexity of what's involved. So yes a human will usually at least aknowledge that people are questioning their authenticity. So it knew enough to be selective and only quote Dalton trees post, just replying to that?

Without being a time served bladerunner it's easy to get confused.

I do however completely disagree with what Steven P has said - my take is AI will still be an emerging technology in a hundred years, but long before then it will write a good novel and like the top novel from NYTs best novels of the century, be under a pseudonym - with people speculating if its a man or woman author.

Steven P says it doesnt have any intelligence, but I'm thinking he wishes it did't.

As much as I can tell, yes, AI I just a fancy google search - it doesn't have any intelligence, just able to take all the results and work out the most common

It's really hard to predict, for sure. Technology goes in arcs and leaps, we're currently seeing the arc of development of these AI models but I've read a couple of articles about how just doing more of the same is already running out of steam - they've hoovered the pure human internet already and now there's so much AI generated content they risk making a snake eating it's own tail.

 

The big bet is always what the next enabling technology will be, will it catch on or be another dot-com bubble?

These ai generated posts seem to be becoming more frequent, I have wondered sometimes when I see a new post from a new poster usually regarding some kind of problem I automatically regard it as ai as is usually pointed out by others far knowledgeable than I on these matters. 

It must make it hard for anyone who is genuinely looking for help from the residents. 

my only experience of ai is from those infuriating courier chat bot/helpline/customer service things that all ask the exact same questions and seem unable to understand the problem you contacted them to solve.

is there a likelihood that in the future these abominations will simply ignore humans and just create pseudo problems that they can answer themselves with no physical experience of the subject?

on a lighter note was terminator just a film,,, or a prophecy
