James Morcan | 11378 comments To attempt to get balance and hear all sides of the AI/robotics predictions, I think we may need to acknowledge there are scientists and other futurists (albeit in the minority) who say robots will never reach the levels of supremacy shown in dystopian sci-fi books and films...

So let's post here spectacular fails of robotics and so called "Artificial INTELLIGENCE" - and if nothing else let's all have a good laugh at robots (something robots will probably never be able to do...LAUGH!):

Artificial Stupidity is commonly used as a humorous opposite of the term artificial intelligence (AI), often as a derogatory reference to the inability of an AI program to adequately perform basic tasks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artific...

So I ask: is it possible humans are being underestimated and AI robots overestimated?

James Morcan | 11378 comments Do we need to worry about artificial stupidity? https://www.thinkautomation.com/autom...

Thanks to the sci-fi dystopias of pop culture, artificial intelligence has become a source of panic. Fear that we are on our way to creating the sentient robots that will overthrow, enslave or all out exterminate us, is common. Rest assured, we are a long way from artificial intelligence sophisticated enough to overthrow us.

However, in the development of AI, we have started to create machines and programs that deliberately make mistakes. There are instances where artificial intelligence fails to perform its intended task. Then, there’s the current incapability of AI to understand emotions and ethics.

Which leads us to ask, do we need to worry about artificial stupidity instead?

James Morcan | 11378 comments Imagine if in future there is something akin to racism but it's a new kind of "bigotry" against robots. And this thread becomes some kind of historical example of hatred against robots!

Well if that happens I'll be a proud bigot. I hate robots and think they are dumb as F@#^!

p.s. if they ever usher in laws to protect robots from discrimination, we'll know we really would have entered a politically correct world and a world gone mad!

Why today’s A.I. is not “really” A.I., but it may not matter that much to you.

p.s. Imagine when adults start beating up robots...those poor bots don't stand a chance!

Mark | 78 comments How are they defining dumb? When someone or something just doesn't do what commanded? With computers you should have to check to make sure everything is connected or the response won't be right because vital parts may be "missing". If something is deliberately not done, not out of protest, or "ignorance", but that merely one party has to literally directly talk to the other party first, that may be an indication as to what is really going on, simply.

Dumb is sometimes used in conjunction with deaf to mean a person can't speak. That a person will not speak is not the same. These rules can be applied to any life, even artificial (robots/machines). The good or bad that results from responding, or a lack of responding that will result in direct harm, if not future positivity, is simply lumped under the category "game of life".

James Morcan | 11378 comments Traitors!

You humans are defending loser robots!

Guys...listen...via deep learning they AI is supposed to learn beyond its programming that humans give it.

But mostly, AI is not learning shit...and as a result we are now surrounded by...DUMB ROBOTS!!!!

James Morcan | 11378 comments P.S. ever get that feeling that serious commentary is being infused into a satirical topic? If so, it must be the dumb robots dumbing things down! Dumb robots are to blame for everything!

Mark | 78 comments There's still virtual reality as a frontier. We can set parameters similar to a simulation that instructs the influence of what the AI can learn from their deep learning neural networks.

Freemasonry states that the first rule is to accept the fault yourself, and not blame anyone else for the failure. This makes one think of ancient karma. Say you drop a cup and it breaks. You can get mad at the dog for bumping into you causing you to drop it, or you can say "Dang, I should have been more careful or held the cup tighter," et cetera.

Let's not pretend that AI still isn't in its infancy. You can't always be certain that a response will net a direct positive outcome, for instance. Sometimes people just provoke fights or arguments in a bad way, so responding to that isn't really always wise, I'd think, unless society dictates that one must respond to all calls.

James Morcan | 11378 comments You guys can philosophise all you like to avoid the fact that Artificial Stupidity is now outperforming AI... Even animals are smarter than these DUMB ROBOTS!!!!

Humans vs Robots...Who is to say that (dumb) robots are the only ones who can revolt in that paradigm? ;)
