Is General Artificial Intelligence a Breakthrough or just a Financial Hype?

HKPhysicist

According to my understanding, AI hype big corps spend a whole country's energy resource to produce learning software and hardware which can do a very little things for us.  Laughing

On the other hands, a parrot can learn how to talk with men with just a few grams of nutrition.  Also, my little puppy learnt how to do simple house hood things for me in just a few minutes and a few grams fo nutrition. Blush

Which one of these examples are more intelligent and energy efficient?

Had we better use those astronomical sum of money and resources on investigating deeper natural laws such as room temperature superconductivity, novel material and crystal, higher energy experiments beyond the Large Hadron Collider, nuclear fusion experiments, etc.?

  • IMHO it's not hype. Over the past 30 years I've seen various forms of software being developed by various teams. It's typically a case (generalising here) of you get about 90% done quickly and then it takes you about 9 times longer to close out that last 10% as best you can. It's somewhat messy, inherently buggy and pretty slow. I'm experiencing first hand that with the help of AI you are getting to about 98% done in about 50% of that initial 10% of time and then the final 2% is done in about 3 times longer than that initial phase. So overall, quality improved and time saving massive. The amount of resource required is also substantially reduced although you definitely need experienced resource to achieve. Junior engineers and AI is a toxic mix at this stage simply because they don't recognise the problems... and AI at the moment needs direction. It's power at the mo. is comprehension (reading and interpreting 100 page docs in seconds).

    To view recent AI tech from the insider viewpoint, please watch the dialogue between a reporter and an ex-X-AI top engineering/programmer.

    The man, who "carelessly" disclosed certain hidden agenda and tie between X-AI and Tesla, claimed that they, as X-AI software programmers, were requested to start programming from the beginning definition.  They were not allowed to use AI assistant to code.

    When they interviewed new potential employees with a certain software task, if the participant tried to code with the help of AI, this participant would then be filtered away.

    I forgot his name, a recently fired ex-X-AI software programmer.  He was fired because he leaked certain secret strategical tie between X-AI and Tesla.

    Not convincing for a big claim.

    I don't quite understand the point you are trying to make.

    My opinion is biased by the fact that I've got many years under the belt, so manual coding has become a bit mundane. AI certainly helps me on that front. I also have the experience to direct AI to go on certain paths of choice and identify issues. A junior software engineer on the other hand, may well have exceptional knowledge of the coding language but IMO lacks the broader experience to see errors. So, IMO, they will struggle to get the same benefit from AI as I do, no matter if they are an insider or not.

    Hence I see this as a huge breakthrough.
