Very interesting. Bookmarked her channel.
Almost incomprehensible the technological complexity in chip production. Like when young, looking at the night sky and trying to imagine infinity.

I have some car parts for sale and have interested parties in the US. On line calculators gave me reasonable rates for shipping via Canada Post / USPS. BUT…. When shipping by mail, Canada Post now collects 34% tariffs for goods travelling cross border. They want me to use an app to calculate the total. I won’t engage in a discussion on the fact that the tariffs are even here, but here’s the thing that surprised me. To do the estimate, you take a photo, on the app, of the item you’d like to ship. I’m guessing an AI bot looks at your pic and says that looks like a abcxyz and your tariffs payable will be $1234. Now I’m hoping I’m wrong and one is allowed to fine tune the description of the item.
Another case - I was selling a nice watch on FB Marketpkace. Posted some nice pics and posted the ad. Within 15 minutes my ad was rejected because FB said I had violated one or more of their core values, more specifically, accused me of selling a knock off. My watch was 100% genuine so I appealed the decision, requesting further review. There was no opportunity to write why I disagreed with their actions, but offered 3 check boxes totally unrelated to my reason for my disagreement. Since non were related and I had to check one box, I randomly chose one. I submitted my request and within 10 minutes it was rejected again. I have no doubt in my mind it’s an AI bot doing all of this. To “trick” the bot, the first picture in my ad was an unrecognizable bit of the watch strap. It worked and the ad was allowed and fortunately fir me the watch sold within hours, however I did get a notification from FB once again that I had posted an “illegal” ad and it was removed once again. The maddening thing is there are lots of people selling knockoffs and their ads continue to run. I guess in my profile I’m now a shady vendor so I will probably have future ads pulled.
Should we be afraid of AI? Probably, but right now I’m super pi$$ed off at AI.
If you haven’t experienced it yet, to get your blood boiling, try to have a chat with a customer service AI bot

At best it will prove useful for yes/no on/off black/white decision processing with grey areas tempered by multiple decision grouping and feedback loops. The danger lies in the programming bias.
They're trying to meld quantum computing into the mix but are hampered by the observer effect. Ultimately AI will never attain consciousness.
'Tech' giants and their controllers today have the ability to manipulate populations so intimately they aren't aware of it.
The process reduces everything to a preconcieved common denominator much in the same way communism does which is why mankind as a whole wont wear it, there will always be groups who want to create their own realities. Systems like this gather control freaks to the top, much like todays governments, and implode from within, much like today.
Don't be afraid of AI. Be afraid of who/what created and controls it.

There's a thing I call the thinness of modern life - I won't go on at length, but @vexsed's post illustrates part of the problem. Somebody you don't know and will never meet, maybe two business analysts in an office, decides what the possibilities are, these are presented to you as options, and if your problem doesn't fit with an item on the drop-down list then it doesn't happen & can't exist.

He says AI is right 85% of the time. There's certainly room for improvement and good reason to not repeat anything you might learn from it.
Medial science using small chips implanted into the brain so a brain-computer interface using wireless, biocompatible implants may restore speech for stroke patients with aphasia.

A relatively straight forward reallife application would be the legal system. Removal of appointed judges would definitely help remove political interference and multilayered 'justice' assuming quality of programming and data.
Would uncover a literal ratsnest of legislation.
Would uncover a literal ratsnest of legislation.
That would b a can of worms.
Biggest impediment is, social habits change and they in turn often change laws. AI would have to understand humans change as a social construct, (good or bad), to interpret a law that took into account those changes. Then it is those for and those against AI has to navigate.
AI isn’t that good….. yet.
Super friendly and super chill and good vibes..........
AI cought being chill to each other

AI will never win cuz we are better idiots!
I like that idea Perhaps not remove judges but to get an expert systems opinion
when the Corrupt Kangaroo Court rules in the fat cats favor Abusing defenseless honest people .
That cannot afford proper legal help or are to old
Just push the button " COMPUTE "
And the red lamps and sirens start flashing as at a railroad crossing
Warning Warning Brown nosed corrupt swine bought again for cash and careers..
And then I can se a 3 strikes and out rule . Fire his ass .. Or why not jail time
Oh the legal clerks jobs are toast but I GaryAntee the lawyers will make AI courts illegal. Prolly already have, but you won't hear about it.
This is not a joke...well it is but it really happened.
From thread heading, "should we b afraid of AI"
I gotta say yes, going off this pic on Facebook depicting a loom for a bike, (gotta b AI), it is the dumbing down of the human race so AI can say it is a superior intelligence, we have to b scared of.
It is like in one of those sunday paper comic section, where you have to circle the mistakes.......oops ran out of ink
Man should read some of the people's comments

I saw a story on 60 Minutes over the weekend where they had a Boston Robotics android robot at a Hyundai plant. They were "teaching" this AI robot to do menial tasks. I wondered, how long will it be before they can teach these things to build houses? Imagine what that would do to the cost of housing, and the elimination of homelessness. Perhaps some forms of AI can be beneficent...
While homebuilders go jobless ie homeless......
It's gonna be a wild ride.
How many skilled labor jobs would that cost us? Framers, finishers, sheet rock, electricians, plumbers and painters....
Then there's the ecosystem they live in. Restaurants, grocers...
