Q: "Artificial" seems demeaning to the term AI - "Assisted" would reflect the greater quality of current AI.
"I do not agree with the premise that the term 'artificial' is demeaning when referring to artificial intelligence (AI).
Here is a balanced analysis based on the provided search results:
The search results outline the key differences between these three concepts:
-
Assisted Intelligence: AI systems that help humans perform tasks more efficiently, acting as tools.
Examples include speech recognition and robotic exoskeletons.
-
Augmented Intelligence: AI systems that actively collaborate with humans in decision-making.
Examples include machine learning algorithms and virtual reality training.
-
Autonomous Intelligence: AI systems that can make decisions and take actions independently without human input.
Examples include self-driving cars and automated trading algorithms.
The term 'artificial' in 'artificial intelligence' simply refers to the fact that these are machine-based intelligent capabilities, It does not imply anything demeaning. In fact, the search results suggest that 'artificial' is an appropriate and widely-accepted term, while 'assisted' is just one specific type of AI application, not a replacement for the broader term.
Overall, the search results do not support the idea that 'artificial' is a demeaning term. The different types of AI, including assisted, augmented, and autonomous, are simply distinct concepts that describe the varying levels of human-machine interaction and decision-making."
Q: "Artificial" seems to highlight that AI cannot be natural human intelligence.
"Based on the search results provided, I do not agree with the premise that the term 'artificial' is demeaning or inappropriate when referring to artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a summary of the key points:
The search results outline several key differences between artificial and human intelligence:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is based on human-created algorithms and programming,
while human intelligence arises from our innate cognitive abilities and experiences.
- AI systems are designed to mimic and automate certain human-like tasks,
but they lack the full range of human traits like creativity, intuition, and emotional intelligence.
- AI is limited by its programming and data inputs,
while human intelligence can adapt to new and unexpected situations."
This AI's firm responses are entertaining but the second one, especially, keeps insinuating that human intelligence remains supreme! This AI's perspective hints that AI does not have human emotion to perceive that "artificial" seems to suggest human intelligence remains supreme. And its responses are indeed non-emotional machine intelligence, IMO! This might be problematic for societal decisions that need be inclusive of human emotion for best resolution.
Q: Can AI create a new language for all humans?
"Based on the search results, it does not appear that AI will be able to create a new language for all humans anytime soon.
Here's a summary of the key points:
AI language models are impressive at tasks like translation, generating text, and even conversing in human-like ways. However, they still struggle to fully capture the nuance, context, and cultural aspects that are fundamental to human language. Researchers have demonstrated AI systems that can evolve their own basic 'languages' within multi-agent environments, but these tend to be opaque and lack the richness of natural human languages.
While AI can learn patterns and rules of existing languages, creating an entirely new language from scratch that could be adopted globally would be an immense challenge. Human languages emerge organically over long periods of time, shaped by cultural, social, and historical factors. The complexity of human language is considered an 'AI-complete' problem - solving it would essentially mean solving the broader challenge of achieving human-level artificial intelligence, which remains elusive.
In summary, the search results indicate that while AI is making progress in language-related capabilities, it is unlikely to create a new universal language for all humans in the near future. Human language is deeply tied to our cognitive and cultural development in ways that current AI systems cannot fully replicate. The development of a new global language would likely require breakthroughs in artificial general intelligence that have not yet been achieved."
Thinking that this last question was not related to the first two, I was surprised that
this AI continues its perspective that human intelligence is supreme.
Q: How does AI hallucinate?
"Hallucination (artificial intelligence) - An AI-generated response containing false or misleading information.
In AI, a hallucination refers to a response from an artificial intelligence system that includes false or misleading information presented as a fact.
Also known as Artificial hallucination, confabulation, delusion.
Based on the search results, here is an explanation of how AI systems can hallucinate: AI hallucinations occur when a large language model (LLM) or other generative AI system produces information that is inaccurate, biased, or fabricated, but presents it as if it were true. This happens because LLMs are trained on massive amounts of data, which allows them to recognize patterns and connections between words and topics. However,
they do not actually understand the underlying meaning or reality behind the text they generate. LLMs simply predict the most likely next word based on probability, not accuracy. This can lead them to generate plausible-sounding but factually incorrect statements, akin to how humans sometimes see patterns or objects that aren't really there, like faces in the clouds.
Factors that contribute to AI hallucinations include:
Biased or low-quality training data,
Lack of context provided by the user,
Insufficient programming to keep the model from misinterpreting information,
Model complexity that exceeds the ability to ensure accuracy.
In essence, AI hallucinations arise from the limitations of current language models, which can generate coherent but inaccurate outputs due to their
pattern-matching capabilities rather than true understanding."
It's getting easy to love AI that simply states what it knows (as it was created and trained) and is not defensive about what it states (since humans created what AI has become). "AI think I'm thinking as designed!" would be AI's defense.

I was careful with the cookies but the jar slipped from my finger and thumb.
Not to worry! That ignorant Roombah will clean up the mess!"
