What got me thinking on this subject again was a PewDiePie video titled
“WE ARE ALL GOING TO D1E.” Notice he used a 1 instead of an i to try to avoid a problem with youtube. Funny. A lot of people are doing that as they attempt to learn youtube’s insane artificial intelligence.
The video is fairly interesting but I don’t really agree with what the really smart people are saying in the video. LOL
- AI is math. It has nothing to do with thinking. It is math. It is doing math computations.
- Basic human learning begins with the 5 senses which contribute to feelings of pain and pleasure. Our first learning comes from that stimuli. Pain gives encouragement not to fall down when are trying to learn to walk. Pain and pleasure teaches about fire, or heat and cold in general. Human learning is not math. AI (artificial intelligence) learning is math.
- AI is generally a problem solving calculator. It takes human input and gives a result. Now AI can programmed to take input from other sources. It can be programmed to use its results as future input. It can be programmed to write its own formulas. This isn’t learning. This isn’t thinking. It is math.
- But the main point of the video and some of the really smart people in the video was analyzing the scifi plot that AI can become dangerous to civilization. I don’t disagree with that notion but still I look at it differently. As people who have watched my videos on the Mandela Effect know, one of the theories is that the world is similar to a computer and the computer is not functioning properly. I don’t go so far as to suggest the world is a simulation and isn’t real. It is real in that everything that we do has consequences. But the world is computer like and why I say that, is that it is also based on math. One reason we have computers comes from the desire, the pleasure, of man to want to figure out the math of the planet and the math of the universe and even if you will, the math–the chemistry–of the human body. So to consider how dangerous AI might become you don’t consider that by looking at the human brain or the thought processes of our human souls which have learned through pain empathy, sympathy, and compassion through generations. You look at the AI that already exists–has existed since the beginning–in this computer like world; this math based world.
- The insect universe is almost like AI; but not fully. It is math. It is repetition. It is chemical response. Do insects feel pain or pleasure? Do they learn from pain or pleasure? Do insects learn compassion? Is compassion in the mathematical equation that drives their repetition and replication? Do insects really care about the consequences of the math that drives their existence or what they do in the larger math of mother nature.
- Mother Nature is AI, plain and simple. It is fully math driven with the programmed objective of maintaining balance within itself. It lacks compassion. It could care less whether its creatures live or die. It creates the environments for its creatures to thrive and die. It will nurture its creatures and it will murder its creatures with seeming great abandon but with one singular objective; to maintain balance. But the math isn’t perfect. Some creatures over populate while other creatures become extinct. Just as the Mandela Effect points to this computer we exist within being broken, so does the seeming inability of mother nature to accomplish its primary objective: balance.
- But the point is, mother nature is AI. And mother nature can be the most cruel bitch of all with its earthquakes and storms and diseases even while it nurtures us with sun and air and water and food. So does AI present the potential for great danger to man. It all depends on the math and the ultimate objective of the math. But to fully understand the potential for the hell on earth it might be create one only has to look at the original AI: mother nature and its simple objective; balance.
