"We invented a machine that thinks!"

"It's not thinking..."

"Technically true, but it can CREATE new content out of thin air."

"It steals everything it spits out by scraping the internet..."

"Okay, got me there, but think of the information access; now everyone with a phone has their own research assistant and the Library of Alexandria!"

"The machine spits out wrong answers; like every time."

"Look, fuck you, we own everything and you're buying it."

@AnarchoNinaWrites Thank you. AI does not yet exist. People are just throwing the term around in ignorance.

@farbel @AnarchoNinaWrites

I would go further:
We don't yet understand NI.

@wrog @AnarchoNinaWrites Once we do understand NI, we will either create AI because we have the knowledge or ban it because we are terrified. Maybe both!

@farbel @AnarchoNinaWrites

The fallacy here is the idea that there will necessarily be something to create. One of the biggest issues with NI is we don't even have a *definition* beyond "We know it when we see it"

In other news, "Colossus: The Forbin Project" was just a movie.
