The Dark Secret at the Heart of AI

No because he can't possibly know all of the input that it interpreted to do what it did.




Trillions of ones and zeros can get mysterious fast.

Yes, that happens almost immediately when non-determinism is introduced.

Trillions of ones and zeros can get mysterious fast.

Nope. Analyzing a trillion of them is no different than analyzing 10 of them.

If this and this and this are true, then do this thing. Else, do that other thing.

Not mysterious at all.

I now must invoke my signature and will cease trying to teach this pig about advanced programming.

They would be insane to do that, if it could end up costing lives.

You mean like Congress turning over their authority to wage war to the POTUS?

lol

you might want to do some research before you embarrass yourself again.

POTUS is still human though.

No one really knows how the most advanced algorithms do what they do.

PROGRAMMER CAN SEE WHAT HAS BEEN DONE ON SCREEN. THE WHY IS IN THE PROGRAMMING.

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, BELIEVE ME - I TALK TO COMPUTERS ALL THE TIME.

I already had this argument, read the rest of the article and/or thread.

When a self-driving car must 'choose' between hitting a minivan filled with kids or an elderly couple walking on the sidewalk.... what will IT choose?

It will choose to ram itself into a pole/tree instead. Enjoy your ride.

 

[otherone]

It will choose whichever one the program written by humans tells them to choose.

The car itself will not make a decision. The decision was already made by the guy that wrote the code.

Alternately, if the programmers did not anticipate that situation then the program will error and who knows what happens. But it will not be because the car made a choice, it will be because the programmers wrote sloppy code.

This thread belongs in the Religion subforum.

you're blinded by the bullsh!t, bro. don't feel bad.... you're not alone.

you are demonstrating a total lack of knowledge about how computers work.

I won't lie, self-driving cars scare the heck out of me.
