RE: AGI Isn’t Just On The Doorstep, It’s About To Walk Right Through Our Front Door

in #artificialintelligence3 months ago (edited)

I have seen articles about this Krisz but I haven't read the actual study! Thanks for the link. I think personal discipline in how we use these AIs will truly be the key. We all need to decide what level of use is acceptable for us, personally. We all need to be thinking about it deeply, now before it arrives, and come up with our own set of rules. Using AI as the powerful and helpful tool that it is will be one thing but relying too heavily on it and allowing it to do our thinking for us will be altogether different. Today I use AI, mainly Grok, as I used to use Google for web search or as I used Siri on the iPhone as a digital personal assistant. Judging from how the average person is addicted to their phones, my fear is how few people might have the discipline it takes to determine proper boundaries regarding AI or even think about what impact it will have on them.

Yep. Discernment, discipline, boundaries... Crucial, simple, and powerful for those who think for themselves. But not for avg. Joe who is addicted to almost everything. My team uses Midjourney before images get properly designed and pimped inside Photoshop. I used DeepSeek a few times for HTML coding and Linux issues, and it was really helpful. However, you must review each line of code to verify whether the information is correct or not.

A couple more stats I found fascinating shared by Evolving.ai on Instagram.

  • A human brain uses 12 watts to think while an AI system doing the same job would need 2.7 billion watts.
  • A laptop pulls roughly 150 watts and the fastest supercomputer burns more than 21 million.

You're right, the average Joe/Jane are addicted to a whole lot. It's important for all of us who want to retain our humanity to start thinking of a moral framework for how we use AI. I think there's a future article in that for me. I can't deny that AI has become extremely capable/useful/helpful. It saves so much time when used properly.

Those facts are fascinating. I think a synthetic biological computer modeled after a brain is the next logical leap for "hardware". The power consumption of the data centers just isn't viable to scale unless the data centers have their own reactors on site. A mini reactor might be the bridge to get us to scale until we can produce synth bio brains. Thanks for the link!
