@Delano now you are talking about “divination” and “Clairsentience” things that aren’t even proven that humans are capable of. This is beyond the scope of my argument. But when you talk about feeling I’d ask you what are feelings? This is no different than the question posed about intuition. Our feelings can largely be explained by our experiences, culture, knowledge, and genetics. These are things that can be quantified and feed into a LLM. The results are (will be) indistinguishable from what you call feelings. Think about the film Her.

OK I've been sloppy with my terminology in this conversation because I'm trying to relate it to what you guys are writing. When I read terms like computation and Inputs and output it makes me think you guys are think of AI like a traditional computer program. @Delano I skipped on Merrian Webster as I know what Intuition means, but I did read the Psychology Today article. The takeaway for me was that "Intuition later in life arises from the accumulation of knowledge and experiences that are processed and stored in our brain's neural networks, as well as other cells and tissues in our bodies, allowing us to access this information quickly, often unconsciously." All humans are born with this and how it works is not understood. This does not help me understand the distinction you are making being our human biology and software on silicon chips. Our persecution of what our bodies are doing are illusory, as are the stories we tell ourselves to explain our intuition. Of course, any story we conjure up to explain the biology of intuition would seemingly be inappropriate to apply to software on silicon. I think it can. We are essentially drive by algorithms too and any sufficiently intelligent being (which we are not) can completely explain how intuition works and describe future behavior. Maybe AI explain our intuition to us one day. I guess the Go example I provided fails your test for an AI developing a novel solution or an example of "intuition."

What is a hunch? And forget about algorithms that is a computer programming construct. Are you familiar with the game Go? Well in a test of AI it made a move the experts thought was a mistake, but it turned out to be a completely novel and in the moment an inexplicable move —a move that beat the best human player on earth. If a human made the same move we’d call it a stroke of genius, intuition, a hunch, any of the language you guys like to use to describe human intelligence. AI is capable of the same thing. You are just unwilling to think of AI in human terms (or vice versa). How do you know? Is it? Why? It may be perfectly rational, but the reason and logic may escape you?

My AI video are an example, no script writing, directors, actors, animation, editing, etc.

Again, what is intuition really? How does it work? Isit really very different than what an AI is, or can be, capable of? I’ve given chat GPT thousands of prompts and it can get things obviously wrong. But sometimes it answers questions better than what I’ve asked, seemingly intuiting what I meant to ask.

I saw that it was a non-trivial production.

Wow!

Yes @richardmurray. The free download just ended (Hawaiian time). A lot of people took advantage of the free download, including myself. I’m curious to see the utility of a children’s audiobook…

From what I’ve seen, yes. But there is potential for great harm too. The choice is up to the massive corporations that control AI and legislators who should be providing some constraints.

Couldn’t a current or future AI also figure out another novel approach @Delano?

Picking up this conversation here.

This is a continuation of the previous conversation on this subject: In the video below, two astrophysicists and a comedian, discuss free will.

True @Delano. Once you, or someone else, puts it on the net -- AI has it. Though I'm not sure what type of vetting AI does as it vacuums up the world wide web. I asked ChatGPT to cast my chart and tell me something about myself: https://chatgpt.com/share/d27def2d-dbea-4012-bb9f-8bfc914c2680 I always through I was rising in Cancer, so I don't know if the chart is calculated correctly or if I made a mistake in the past. I used to use a computer program to cast natal charts.

Annette Gordon-Reed is a Pulitzer Prize winning writer. This offer is only available today, Juneteenth (June 19, 2024). It is a great deal!

That is where AI is superior no human can evaluate all the factors but an AI can. What is intuition… really? If AI knows “everything” is intuition necessary? Chat GPT works the same way for me. I use it far more often than a search engine too. The problem is that these AI’s get there intonation from the web—from us. Google has already crippled the web by providing answers right on the search engine results page rather than sending people to websites where the data was obtained. AI will just accelerate this. At some point, there will be no new information introduced to the web because there is no longer a viable business model for websites and AI will learn nothing new. What is the motivation for anyone to volunteer to update Wikipedia when no one goes there anymore, instead using some AI that has copied the information from Wikipedia and presents it to people and a much nicer consumable manner?

Happy Father’s Day!

The impacts on those around you is what will matter. No, It won’t lead to mastery. It will do just the opposite. Anyone can have AI create a chart and interpret it. Ultimately no human will be able to or need to do it.

Autocorrect changed my apparent “few” typo to “five.” AOC ain’t gonna be on the next ticket. But in a few more years who knows

President AOC is feasible in 5 years.

Well plenty of people are moving to the continent. But I not sure we’ll escape the influence of AI fueled social media anywhere electricity is available.

I answered Yes. I even have training on how to build a PC as recently as 2017.

I'm beginning to see more of these AI generated sales pitches (see below). The use of the word "delved" in the first sentence is a tell. The service itself is AI driven. AI is already being touted as tool one can use to craft and read unique bedtime story to your kid. What happens to a culture when there are no shared stories -- when all the stories are unique to the individual? Well, we already know; the AI powered bots on social media give people completely different world views, and we losing cultural cohesion as a result. --------- Hi Troy, As I delved into the fascinating world of African American literature and book festivals, I was struck by your dedication to promoting and celebrating Black writers and publishers. Your work on publishing book reviews, author interviews, and sharing information about black-owned bookstores resonated deeply with me. It's remarkable to see how your efforts have helped to amplify the voices of Black writers and publishers. I was particularly intrigued by your article "Supporting Independent Black Publishers and Presses" and how it highlights the importance of Black readers supporting Black presses and publishers. As someone who has spent years working in the publishing industry, I appreciate the significance of this initiative. As we kick off the new quarter, I'd like to explore how [company name]'s AI-powered sales platform can support your mission. Our platform utilizes AI agents to enhance customer engagement through personalized emails, ensuring efficient delivery and interactive ad decks. I'd love to discuss how our services can help streamline your operations and drive revenue growth. Let's initiate a chat to explore how [company name] can help amplify your impact.

No, I don’t have any tech from the 70’s there wasn’t much personal tech to speak of back then just a TV, radio, Variety of devices to play music, a calculator, and maybe a digital watch. Yeah, that laptop did not have a hard drive. One of the floppy disks held the operating system and other held the program that you were running. I’m not sure they called that device a laptop back then might’ve been called a portable computer, but I could be wrong. I did not answer the question because I did not know what you meant between computational and physical elements. Are used to build and sell personal computers back in the early 90s.

Hi Dee that clearly is not true, as there would be entire genres that would not exist if that were. Now if you are writing about the real world (people, places, and things) it is helpful to know something about the subject otherwise your story will ring false to readers who know something the subject. Sure, story telling is an art and it requires skill. Some people are naturally better that others at doing it.

I have a low pop culture quotient; who are we talking about here? Seems like it can be almost anyone in Hollyweird.
