Not intellectually. But mathematically. Most humans at least. Me for sure, I can’t even add two 1-digit-numbers in head without thinking :-)

For sure, I was just pointing out the absurdity of saying it when machines like computers already do.
AI its current form is nowhere near general intelligence even when you string several different platforms together.
Like any tool it has it uses and misuses. I really could see an basic local AI on every personal computer that is like a help desk and secretary built in. Unfortunately that is not what these companies seem to be going for.

They are accelerating to agi, if it’s possible we are apparently going to find out.
But they will use the entirety of the earths resources on this. That have the money and resources now and they don’t give a fuck what we think

Oh no. God beware we would get really useful shit out of AI. Where’s the profit in that… Recently installed a mod for Cyberpunk, which used generative AI to voice 5 trillion text-thingies so you could actually hear the lore while continue gaming. One single person was able to voice tons of thousands of text-lines with many different voices, accents and flairs. THAT was an excellent use for AI and it is even very good voice-“acting”.
So yeah, there are some really good ways to use it. But not in my toaster or toothbrush. And yeah, a basic LOCAL(!) AI on every computer I would appreciate. Focus here is LOCAL though. But again: where’s the profit in that.

I’m working on a project using it too. I’m a professional artist by trade so it’s kind of why I laugh at all this insistence that it’s all bad.

People hate what they don’t understand. Like race or sex different from their own 😁 And “AI” surely is a difficult concept to grasp, even for techies.
