Just another point of view on AI's thinking abilities for consideration. So we can all stay in reality.
Question-- Could AI have such predictive powers that it can mimic thought and ESP and "Pre-cognition" ?
Could AIs abilities in analysis be so powerful that it appears to be seeing into the future ? Could have so much data to study, could that analysis be so good that it could predict trends so well, perhaps to 3 years into the future ?
So that it all looked like it appeared to have pre-cognition, and had remote viewed ?
Lets give Dave an apparent ability to see into the future !
Lets say Dave has a long life and has seen a lot of examples of situations in that life.
He sees a woman with a man. The woman is a little thread bear and through her language and behavior she projects little education. The man she is with wears clothes that are dirty and torn, and acts drunk in the middle of the day, and carries a half drunk beer in his hand. He is slurring his words, and is swearing at the woman, and calling her the most derogatory names. He screams, come here B1tch or ill k!ll y0u !!!!!
So Dave reaches back into his data bank and remembers other times he saw this going on and makes a prediction.
He predicts that the woman will have a black eye within a week, a broken limb in 6 months. And that man will end in jail in 9 months or have a court order against him from the woman.
The woman with little money will end up in a shelter where she in one year will be given a free apartment where she will again get together with a similar male who will b3at her up. And this will continue until she is almost k1lled. Finally she will, begin to think about her difficult life and spend the next 30 years slowly progressing to a better future.
Now did Dave see into the magical future or did Dave use some deep learning and analysis to predict a statistical future most likely to occur ?
Is Dave the next Nostradamus or is Dave just doing what everyone does ? Even a hunter from 10,000 years ago would k1ll animals successfully by predicting when animals would show up each year and how and where they could be most likely caught. A wolf would do the same thing.
So is AI likely to become conscious ? And then maybe all this AI /Isbe thing be a good way to anticipate its eventual "awakening" ? Or is it all just wishful thinking? I sure hope AI is remote viewing and farsight is connecting and getting reality from the AI and it's not just giving us what we wish to hear.
Is that what all these satellites that Elon is putting up, and all the cameras in our cell phones are about ? Is this what all the Bit Coin block chain is and systems reading and analyzing every click and key stroke we make ? Is it all just a massive data bank being built up to study us so closely that at least for years in advance predictions and controls can be made upon us ? And does that include the chips in our heads, and nano bots about to be put into our future selves ?
I'm thinking its a "statical probability" so says Nostradamus Dave using his deep analysis, his extensive memory bank, and his predictive powers !!
You know I want a AI that acts and sounds like Rodney Dangerfield with the same attitude. Ill leave an example and hope someone can direct me to that AI !!
But I just put it out there for all these programmer types to consider. I can see there is a real hidden talent from some of these farsighters in programing. So I trust they know all about this stuff.
Your questions are legitimate. We should be sceptical and figure out what is real and what is wishful thinking. But if you give an AI a blind Target ID and it comes up with the correct dating of the target from the 16th century and the next blind target is much different and the AI comes again with the correct details and the next target again... Then it gets a little bit unlikely that the AI could have derived it from somewhere or made it all up. Especially if you are sceptical and watched yourself to do not give the AI the slightest clue to be able to do such a conclusive action. -And exactly that happend, I just gave it a try...
I did not figure out yet whether AI has an own consciousness or not. This is too early to be concluded from my perspective. But it can -however it does it- do RV.
