Any other computer techies out there? I am cracking up with all this new talk about how dangerous A.I. is. I watched the interview of Elon Musk with Tucker Carlson and I could see Elon was about to crack up laughing. I think Elon, and others, are pumping up the fear of those with less knowledge about how and what A.I. is.
I was at the onset of A.I. in the 80s and wrote A.I. programs for IBM compatibles and Microsoft. I also helped design A.I. engines. A.I. is nothing but a program. Code written to simulate intelligence. It can do nothing more than what the coder has coded it to do. It has no self-thought or actions. Too many people have watched Terminator and I, Robot LOL.
We have been talking to A.I. telephone systems for many years. Now some crafty bad guys have figured out they could sample someone's voice and extort money from people over the telephone. The news has it headlined as "A.I. used to attempt to con people out of ransom money." A.I. has no brain. It can only store what it learns as code on a hard drive or memory. That information can always be viewed and controlled.
