Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent
Endmaker@ani.social 2 months agoArtificial Intelligent is supposed to be intelligent.
For the record, AI is not supposed to be intelligent.
It just has to appear intelligent. It can be all smoke-and-mirrors, giving the impression that it’s smart enough provided it can perform the task at hand.
That’s why it’s termed artificial intelligence.
The subfield of Artificial General Intelligence is another story.

The field of artificial intelligence has also made incredible strides in the last decade, and the decade before that. The field of artificial general intelligence has been around for something like 70 years, and has made a really modest amount of progress in that time, on the scale of what they’re trying to do.

I daresay it would stay this way until we finally figure out what intelligence is.
