The shit we're calling "AI" these days will never gain sentience. If we had the sci-fi, actual thinky type of AI, the tech would be a LOT more exciting.
or frightening
or
and
Sentience has very little to do with AI. And what we have right now is by definition AI
I mean, so does a spell checker, or a calculator, or a videogame character, etc. The term 'AI' is tossed around a lot, to the point that it's not really distinct from computing in general. The connotation is that sentience distinguishes it from other flavors of 0's and 1's following whatever logic they're designed to do; but as you mentioned that's not really how it's used. It bugs me though, cuz if and when we develop the sentient variety, it's going to be a MAJOR turning point for humanity (good or bad) in par with harnessing fire or electricity... but it'll be lost on most people cuz they'll think "we've had this for years now..." cuz of LLM chat bots n' shit.
You're talking about AGI. Artificial intelligence is a field of computer science dating back to the very origins of the field in the 1940s. LLMs, neural networks, chess engines, video game bots. All are disciplines under the general field of AI. It is distinct from general computing.
Plus if Windows did have that kind of AI, then we'd want to be using it due to the whole possibility of Roko's Basilisk
It is true that I am always cowering and crying because I am constantly threatened with being beat over the head by Linux.
Recall is just a piece that sped up my transition (I have Pro, so Copilot is less of a problem for me). The final nail in the coffin was having to deal with a driver-update-checker that randomly uses 70% processor to do things like check for updates and send telemetry to Intel.
On Linux, I just have to run the usual update command, and it will be updated there, without sending gobs of telemetry to Fuckifiknow.
Bold to assume that I use Windows at all... (except when 100% mandatory at my job)
Though as time goes on I wonder how long Mac OSX will take to become more like it, as iOS has already long ago jumped the shark.
I feel like Apple would do a better job implementing AI features into MacOS than microsoft will do, and currently has done, with windows.
The fact that it hasn't done that at all yet - waiting until the tech is actually ready before forcing it on us - is already an enormously good sign:-).
They have to figure out how they can add $1000 to the next macbook's msrp before they add it.
I'm working with my mom to make me a tee shirt that says "have a Linux Mint" with a big tye dyed mint in between "have a" and "Linux Mint"
I think it'll be cute, maybe someone will ask
Sorry, I'm too old for club penguin.
Your only too old when you decide to stop learning!
