Because AI doesn't exist yet. These machines are not "smart" ,they mimic speech based on probability and patterns found on the web. The whole point of this post was to ask if anyone knew of peer reviewed scientific evidence that we will ever break through to AI, and all the other things that people think will come from that.

It's true that Europe's most fruitful years happened after the black death. I did post this because I have been in a r/collapse type funk and find myself irritated at all the "AI is going to bring Utopia" type posts.

I know that they do. But I think they are too enthusiastic about the where this will ultimately lead. I think that societies' problems will lead us to a hard stop at some point, and none of these questions will matter then.

The simplest solution would be a form of magnetism. Assuming that spaceship design cant bypass this by using non-magnetic materials.

AI, like GPT-4 is incapable of creating new information. All it is is a predictive language model, trained on the web (god help us). There is no possibility of anything useful coming out of this product.

Reply to Discussion: the goal of human existence should be avoiding the heat death of the universe by Mickeymousse1
as I understand it, the universe ceases to exist, in fact all reality stops, at the moment of your death. No brain, no awareness, nothing. So, why then, am I concerned about the future. I won’t know that live, heck, I won’t even know that I lived. Also, we are having trouble getting people to do anything about global warming, which is a much more fixable problem than the heat-death of the universe.

Clones are twins. Twins are not the same people. Your clone would not be you.

Except that right now, language models are generating plausible, but inaccurate output. It can only work with the data its given. Maybe it will never get better than that. The alchemists kept thinking that they were going to get gold from lead if they worked at it long enough. We are still waiting.
