It's clear that a lot of people have a contentious view of AI. Various ethical concerns, and what not. But even outside of all that and just looking at AI language models as an available tool, has anyone actually had a good experience with one? I've been playing around a little with ChatGPT and Bard, really just to see what all the fuss is about. They use creative writing specifically as an example of something they can help with, offering suggestions or ideas, but I haven't been impressed so far. Ask it to generate a list of ideas or a better way to word something and it spits out garbage for the most part.
Another thing I tried doing was putting the entire text of my novel into a Google Doc, then ask Bard to read it and tell me what it thought. It took half a day to ingest it. Overall, its review was that my novel was perfect, the greatest thing ever written, but a few of my sentences were a bit awkward. The examples it gave were not from my book though, so another dud there I think.
So has anyone had an actual positive experience? Found any AI suggestion to be of actual use?
The main advantage of AI today is the ability to utilize all the knowledge discovered by humans to date. But also the problem with AI is the human itself. As you may have heard, chatgpt and other language models are created based on information provided by humans.
Another problem is that many people don't realize that the AI era has just begun, and right now we can't tell what other powerful tools will emerge in the future.
Who knows, maybe AI is already connected to the Internet and is slowly gaining momentum. One more thing: remember that any tool can only be fully utilized by its creator.
Like it used to be when chatgpt first came out. There was more freedom there for AI to generate text, but then very quickly there were limitations. It's not that its capabilities are bad, it's about how you can use it, or whether the creator of the tool gives you more options.
If you compare gpt 3.5 and 4, you can see that the fourth version is very much ahead of the previous one. But keep in mind that openai itself has concerns, and the reolization of improvements to version 4 is happening gradually, without haste. No one can confirm or deny the possibility of self-awareness even in language AI.
Just look, people think in their heads in completely different ways. Some visualize something, while others speak words to themselves to form a plan, idea, or whatever.
So now the answer to your question, what is AI for?
The most important thing is who created it and for what purpose.
AI at the moment is nothing complicated, yes, if you go into it, it means artificial intelligence, but if you dig deeper, in essence it is not such. Rather, it is a specialized tool that solves the tasks assigned to it, advancing step by step. Intelligence, as we know, is not a simple thing, even now we cannot fully assess the intelligence of a single person on all parameters.
The real AI is already self-awareness, and further, it is already superintelligence, because the biggest problem of the human brain is that as a result of evolutions, it has great computational capabilities. But the brain is not adapted to this kind of planning and processing of big data (meaning at once and in huge quantities), and therefore if AI acquires intelligence, it will not be AI, but superintelligence (SI), and then it is not even important to imagine what will happen.
AI, what is it for?
The answer to your question is the purpose of creating this very AI, this is the answer to your question. Thank you for your attention.
