AI vs AI

I'll bet you have never driven a car with 2700hp.

No but I'd like to. Can I borrow yours?

I'm a lazy driver.  Automatic transmission and cruise control.  I admit it.

Several in the 1,000 to 1,500 HP range, including full body tube chassis cars with 5 speed manuals.

Of course, I've worked on one with maybe 12,000.

Also driven a couple of over 700 horsepower trucks with multiple transmissions, etc.

And a few high HP boats.


More pertinent to this part of the discussion, I have a great deal of experience in the ADAS/ICC and other alphabet driving systems, with knowledge of their design, inner workings, and what they are and are not capable of, as well as what corners are cut.


Apparently, the majority of humans are quite stupid and lazy, and perfectly willing to hand over control of large portions of their lives to machines. Of course, they hand their minds to college professors and the media, without a second thought about what is being put into it.

It's the stupid and/or intoxicated ones texting, speeding, and running red lights that I'm willing to give their keys to an AI driver. And there are a great many of them.

Saw an article on a college professor that put a country name unrelated to anything he was teaching out for AI to grab.  35 of 37 students included the country name during the final exam.  I am guessing the students used AI to project questions and answers on the final.  The profesor was interested  to see how many of his students used AI to prep for his final exam..

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, Episode 2 of Season 1, depicts the future of AI.

AI supplanting or dominating humanity is an old idea going back to at least the 1800's.

So when will this be deemed a security threat and banned..

I see many using the free versions vs paying $20 a month for it regardless where it is from...

I saw that they are making robots from Chyna illegal due to security concerns...

My guess Chyna will just ship them from Vietnam or some other place to get around that restriction..

I don't subscribe to the NYT so can't read the article. When you say ban I'm guessing you mean the use of a Chinese AI here.

Yes between it listening like an Asian Alexa and the willingness of the general public to trust it with everything from health to finances I see it as a threat...

I see an AI with advertising as the solution for those that $20 is too much..

Anything Chinese is a potential threat. The demographics in China are changing though and there may come a day when they aren't a threat to Western Civilization.

One interesting trend is the number of people who no  longer own, or can purchase a car.  This brings another AI into play.  Automated, driverless delivery cars.

Walmart, and most other stores are pushing home delivery hard.  I guess they see a future reduction in customers in the store letting retail, store sq-ft shrink.  Maybe in a few years all the front parking spots are taken up by electric delivery vehicles.

I have noticed an ever increasing number of electric bikes.  Another indicator of cars becoming to  expensive to own and operate.
