Artificial intelligence in fact and reality

Is never a match for natural stupidity

    A fine write M. I heard on a comedy show, a line:
    'Got to admire the guy. Such stupidity is a rare quality these days!'

    • Michael Edwards

      Miss Berles says it's less rare where she lives.

      Cute! I wonder if they''ll ever create an artificial intelligence capable of being intentionally funny?

      • Michael Edwards

        They can't even create funny comedians these days.

        Thank UNCLE MICHAEL for a timely warning ~ AI is programmed by H. Sapiens and can never we wiser or stupider. I am only one third through my allotted span (105 years) but my instinct tells me that LIFE for the ubiquitous "Homme de la Rue" things won't be much different in 2088 (70 years time) than LIFE in 2018 ! At work for ELEVENSES (great institution) THERESA from the peat bogs of Ireland has been replaced by a ROBOT serving 30 different beverages ~ often simultaneously and in the same cup. I am a STOIC so I put in my EURO press the button and drink the product I love a 50:50 Tomato Soup / Hot Chocolate. The machine only takes EUROS because nobody has reprogrammed it for BREXIT ! C'est la Vie ~ Every Blessing Nephew BRIAN & Niece Angela !

        True. Here our supermarkets are putting in many self serve checkouts. To replace cashier's. Taking jobs away and also I am sure not every item will get a scan before being tossed in the plastic bag. Stupid is the market that takes away supervision of out take to allow a self serve register to control check out. Great write Michael.

          One of our local chains reported that they were puzzled why they had run out of expensive fruits when records said there were still plenty in store. Then they checked potatoes and found the had plenty in store but records said they had run out - people were putting in the wrong goods when weighing them at the self service tills, Heigh ho!!

          Very true Michael, AI is a loss of interpretation of human values and wisdom.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          THANKS for sharing MICHAEL ~ Remember all AI has to be programmed by H Sapiens Sapiens. Therefor it can never be more stupid or more wise than HSS ! I am only one-third through my span (105) and I have survived thus far in cooperation with Humans & Increasingly Robots but in University Circles & Political Squares it is increasingly difficult to tell them apart. Our new coffee machine ~ which replaced Theresa for the peat Fields of Kerry ~ serves 30 separate beverages ~ often all at the same time and often in the same cup
