[cctalk] Re: AI? Really?

What I see now has several issues. One I fear is a thing called fidelity. Like 
humans passing some massage on through a chain people only worse. No machine 
will recognize that the message got lost, along the way. Right now, we have no 
way to determine how many AI levels the information has gone through.
I'm also told that it occasionally hallucinates. Not all that surprizing. They 
say they are working on it.
Another thing that is bad, is the enormous amount of power consumed in the 
learning process. We already have a serious issue with finding less harmful 
ways of generating power.
Then, what can we do with a high percentage of the current younger generation 
thinking the earth is flat.
Computer generated AI should fit right in.
