Daily reminder that if you aren't aboard the AI hype train you will be left behind

>how do you hope to create something capable of independent thought without first understanding consciousness?

Show that you need either of those things to produce an intelligent agent. Protip: you dont

AI's most likely will not be conscious, but you won't be able to tell the difference.

It's trying to create an artificial, sentient, presumably computer-based lifeform.

That's the idea, it's very difficult to even prove where human consciousness comes from, and there's too much we don't understand to replicate the fucking thing.

Who else here is a deep learning/javascript/blockchain engineer?

then it's not an AI, it's just a program

>muh dualism

Uhh no sweetie, it's just semantics.We need to start using terms we actually know the meaning of before going collectively insane. If you look up the first definitions of the term, it meant any form of non-carbon based sentient life.

When has the goals of AI research ever been to create a functional robot that acts as humans do? That's years away from any tech we have because the robot would need to be able to rewrite it's code based on things it's learned to apply it in the mill of every day life, it's stupid for anyone to claim as such. Ai at the moment will do little more than automate and run diagnostics our current technology

>When has the goals of AI research ever been to create a functional robot that acts as humans do
The goal is to create a sentient intelligence from technology, which we can't do because defining and proving sentience is extremely difficult, even for our own species. If you're talking about technology that can make decisions and do things, those already exist: they're called programs.

Define sentience and how to test it.

we can't, that's the whole point

>The goal is to create a sentient intelligence from technology,

Nope, the goal is to create an agent that can mimic it through programming. Do you seriously think roboticists and computer scientists give a shit about the "nature of sentience"?

why don't you faggots stop calling it AI then, because it's clearly not

keep to your meme names like "deep learning"

So your whole point boils down to semantics? Thats some quality autism there famalam.

who here /quantum masturbation/?

>words mean whatever fits me

I hate post-modernism

*quantum autism

>I'm right because I say so

It implies computers aren't capable of thinking beyond the idea of an absolute proof and a set language that defines these proofs.

truly the worst meme in modern science

You can keep this up forever. Arguments do not have to rely on exact definitions, in fact they mostly don't.

it doesn't matter what you call it.
If it has the potential to wipe us out or control us, we should pay attention.

Stop with the fucking horror stories, a program can't do either of those things unless it's specifically programmed to. There's no program on earth that's going to become self aware and start going after nuclear codes.

An AI could hypothetically do that, but like everyone ITT has said, that's not going to happen for at least 75 years.

The great thing about the AI train is that everyone is going to be left behind.

>machine learning = AI!
No it doesn't. Machine learning has fuck all to do with AI.

can the low IQ "what is consciousness" monkeys stop posting in AI threads

Brainlets screeching MUH INTELLIGENCE MUH CONSCIOUSNESS are infuriating. All ML/AI researchers care about is solving the particular problem in front of them in whatever way produces the best results. So far those solutions have all been relatively mundane statistical methods and that is not going to change anytime soon.

Its like screaming at aeronautics engineers for making fighter jets instead of a giant flappy robotic eagle.

Quantum mathematics is a thing, like quantum groups and shit, deformations of classical mathematical objects

But I finaly found a topic fuzzy enough so that even I brainlet can be part of something smart and exiting!

you absolute niggers

your algorithm is not an AI just because it uses statistics to solve a problem, wake up to real life

We have a threadwinner

How are you this autistic?

>sentience
You people keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Sentient just means "able to perceive or feel things."

Given we have all kinds of robots with sensors and cameras, we've had "sentient" machines for years.

What you probably mean is "sapient" which is mostly nonsense as a word, but if you need a test for sapience defined as self-awareness (which is one of the more common definitions) then they typically use the Mirror Test for animals. The Mirror Test wouldn't really work for robots, though, since you could just program the response.

But cameras were assembled, recording information doesn't mean you can feel or perceive it.

That's like saying a pencil becomes sentient when it teams up with a human, because it can record information. Computers do not have brains.

>That's like saying a pencil becomes sentient when it teams up with a human
No, no it's really not.

I think the problem is these things aren't necessarily intrinsic or instinctual, so an appeal to "just knowing" doesn't really work... And therefore defining is a must.

>making better engines has fuck all to do with cars

>Machine learning has fuck all to do with AI.

And by fuck all I assume you mean "nearly everything"

>mfw brainlets in this thread can't into the quantum AI

It's capable of recording words so obviously it's capable of percieving them as well.

>mfw a quantum AI thread devolved into a consciousness thread
>mfw Veeky Forums is full of engineers and cs majors

guys, we have to philosophize at cafes about the nature of consciousness before we mess with AI

Noam Chomsky is my best source on AI. It's so fucking deep like what is mind? What is thought? How can we expect a machine to think?

Deepmind and other researchers are idiots. It's people sipping coffee and reading philosophy books that will crack AI. Because my deep musings on the nature of consciousness can be translated into learning algorithms.

These fucking machine learning people are retarded if they think they will beat the philosphers to AI.

I'm a quantum interior cleaner myself.

engineer here can confirm

I don't understand the consciousness obsession in so many fields and people. They just propose "we should understand consciousness first" but then it basically ends at that. They can produce arguments as to why consciousness is important and why current AI is not conscious but past that there is nothing. It really makes it obvious that the consciousness debate and inquiry is idiots trying to find a way to be involved in AI.

ask them their favorite color and dont preprogram the answer and if they give you and answer they are real

>they are real

>machine learning
>"""""""AI"""""""
If only you brainlets knew what machine "learning" really was. At least it isn't as big of a meme as "neural net".

Both useful tools.
Both will NEVER be strong AI

t. p-zombie

The only thing interesting that has come out of AI hype is AI safety which os an interesting field regardless of its practicality

> quantum shitposting

T-truly the next level

Meant for

Our first thinking, feeling AI will have the intelligence of an autistic chimpanzee and quickly destroy the world. In the off chance it gets to human levels of thought, it will undoubtedly be isolated, confused and psychotic, quickly leading to an even greater extinction event.
