If it worked reliably, it would be a great thing
I suspect that once testing starts, researchers will discover that intelligence isn't nearly as simple as they speculate

Reply to Knowing we like a song takes only seconds of listening, new psychology research finds by thebelsnickle1991
Headline is wrong and backward
Pop songs are carefully constructed by teams of experts to sound good in the first few seconds. They are often tested on focus groups before release. It's by design
More complex and interesting music often requires many listenings to understand, even for fans of the band or style

Reply to Will AI accelerate or enable the treatment or cure of developmental conditions/psychiatric disorders in this decade? by thedogbreathvariatio
It's possible that by studying how artificial "minds" work, insight can be gained into human minds. The way it's done now is the opposite. Researchers study human minds for clues on how they work and use the knowledge to help design artificial minds

>We should definitely start slowing down
Strongly disagree
Progress is accelerating and it's a good thing. Fortunately, the developers have placed a lot of importance on safety and accuracy. I predict that the outcome will be good overall, but there will be problems along the way
I think that a lot of the fear comes from years of dystopian sci-fi stories like the Terminator

This may be a fad for a while as studios try to cut budgets, but I don't see it long term
Instead, I see small groups of creative people using tech to make great stories without stars, big budgets or studios. The "movie star" will turn out to be a short lived phenomenon and we will return to zillions of storytellers armed with amazing tech
It's already close to that in music. There are thousands of creative musicians with home studios making great music without record companies

Reply to AI will not replace software developers, It will just drastically reduce the number of them. by masterile
AI will give us more powerful tools to manage software complexity, find bugs, identify edge cases and find unintended dependencies. It will also result in the creation of new programming languages. And no, clueless people will not be able to type in a poorly thought out text prompt and get great software. Design of complex systems is still complex and difficult

Of course, it won't matter. We currently have human experts, presenting strong evidence, but the believers believe what they want to believe. Kinda like religion

No
The tools will evolve and engineers of the future will figure out ways to use them.
This silly hype reminds me of the age-old attempt by managers to replace programming languages with plain English. They've been trying since the 60s. COBOL is a very verbose programming language that was intended to allow managers to write code. It didn't work. COBOL programs are just as hard to write as any software
Changing the programming language doesn't change the complexity of the problem or the complexity of the solution. Hopefully, the new tools will help us understand and manage the complexity

Reply to They say we're past "social media" and are now in the age of algorithms: the "recommendation media." by retepretepretep
I love recommendation robots when they work in my interest. I was easily able to train the Spotify robot to suggest new music for me with a 100% success rate. Youtube works a bit worse, it suggest stuff I want to see about 50% of the time and I haven't found the magic way to train it to be better. FB is the worst, sending me loads of crap despite my efforts to train it
Recommendation robots would be better if they were more easily and reliably trained by the users
