AI learns to play Flappy Bird - the impact of machine learning on Steem Blockchain

Why do we even need machine learning?

Computers are undoubtedly powerful devices. They can flawlessly perform operations and calculations that are unimaginable for our brains. For example, only one line of code and couple of milliseconds are sufficient to calculate a square root of 281,961.

However, there are also operations that are effortless for our minds while extremely complicated for computers. For example, speech recognition, which does not cause any problem for 5 years old human child, while Google spends millions of dollars in order to improve their technology in this area.

Imagine what would happen if we could combine the powerful neural structure of our brain and the efficiency of machines. Humanity has been trying to implement this idea into reality for generations, but only the last century enabled the necessary technology to do that. Arthur Samuel defined the concept of machine learning for the first time in 1959:

Field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed

My idea

I decided to go a step further in my AI development and create something based on machine learning algorithms. In the past I really enjoyed playing Flappy Bird, so I thought it would be awesome to create an AI that will beat my high score easily.

Flappy Bird is not so complicated, as the only decision the AI would need to make is whether to perform a jump or not. Therefore, I decided to use the simplest possible neural network - a perceptron. In other words, a computational representation of a single neuron. Similarly to the real one it is provided with some input values and contains a processing unit, which generates an output accordingly.

I came up with the following idea:

  • Create 15 birds, each controlled by a single perceptron
  • If bird dies, its perceptron improves itself (machine learning)
  • If there are no birds alive, create a new generation of improved birds
  • Repeat process until there is a non-beatable player

Here you can check out the results:

The future of Steem

As you could notice, 15 seconds of learning were sufficient to crate a neural network that overtakes probably every human playing this game. In my previous article about our fear of AI I raised an issue of job loss from AI. However, I have recently noticed that the employment market may not be the only thing affected by its development.

Recently a friend of mine asked, if it would be possible to create an AI analyzing trending posts on Steem blockchain and then creating its own articles accordingly. This vision really blew my mind.

There are already AI algorithms that are able to create their own artworks. For instance, a computer-generated Portrait of Edmond Belamy that surpassed the pre-auction estimates, which valued it at a maximum of $10,000, instead being sold for incredible $432,500.

This only proves that people have a huge expectations if it comes to the AI development in the most creative sectors, perhaps even in art. And obviously they are willing to invest enormous amount of money in order to achieve their vision. It is just a matter of time when AI will have more and more successful attempts and will become a fully fledged painter, musician or writer.

But what would be the impact of such algorithms on Steem Blockchain? After all, the price of Steem is determined by the intellectual value of contents published here. What if this value dropped to zero, as every computer in the world would be capable of generating outstanding articles? There would be no more point in paying human authors, including those on Steem.

On the other hand, AI may never achieve the human level of creativity and unconventional thinking. Its articles may be too schematic, linear and lacking of individualism to read them comfortably. I would be glad to hear your opinion on this topic!

Here is a Github repository with source code for anyone interested.

Dear @neavvy and @everyone else :)

Thank you for sharing this link with me. Obviously resteemed already.

For example, speech recognition, which does not cause any problem for 5 years old human child, while Google spends millions of dollars in order to improve their technology in this area.

I wasnt aware that speach recognition is giving AI so much trouble. Interesting ...

Recently a friend of mine asked, if it would be possible to create an AI analyzing trending posts on Steem blockchain and then creating its own articles accordingly.

That would surely be still quite difficult to achieve. To create interesting publication -> it would actually require loads of creativity. Something AI lack.

But at the same time it would be so easy to use AI as an "assistant". It could easily learn our writing style, analyze content on Steemit and dro short but valuable comments. That would absolutely fool majority of people out there. After all many users still seem to have difficulties recognizing simple bots (I've seen people replying to them, thinking those accounts belong to humans).

Personally I'm worried and quite convinced, that within few years from now social media (as an industry) will be dominated by users supported by AI.

What do guys think about that issue?

Cheers

I am 100% percent shareing the opinion of Elen Musk to be honest.
There will be no happy ending of this story for sure. But hope this is still far. Or somehow we should manage this.

Example i dont know 😂 Maybe to use a fingerprint and voice password or i dont know😁

But to be honest i am really not happy for this whole AI stuff.

By the way steem is starting to became more and more investment friendly crypto. I think nowdays the posts are not that much important that before for steem. If i just check how much money they wager every day in the new apps and i compare it with the posts pay out i dont know.

I hope we stay far from all these AI stuff but if not there is always another option how to manage. The human brain is still much better than the computers in many ways. But we just use a very small percent of that😉

AI can be like watching a train on its road to destruction, i also am a firm believer that once ‘skynet’ becomes self aware, humanity is fucked. Musk says about the same thing, but (i think it was in his talk with joe rogan) where he also stated that we are still on the crossroad, it can still go in two directions, and otherwise, i think we should merge ... if you can’t beat them, join them. Musk btw also stated that they are very far into introducing new developed tech ....

Further i’d like to add @crypto.piotr that ai is already a lot further then many people realize .... and there are several blockchain based projects busy with it ... one of them, who recently published a very interesting and amazing article for usage of their blockchain based ai and medical .... https://medium.com/@matrixainetwork/what-the-tech-matrix-ai-server-medical-diagnosis-services-f6146971f164

Dear @elektropunkz

AI can be like watching a train on its road to destruction

Thats quite a gloomy view of our future.

Thank you for your comment and I'm sorry for such a late reply. Past several days have been very messy and I didn't have enough time to do my work on Steemit.

Also big thx for that link.

Have a great week ahead,

Thank you for your reply @gabbynhice!

This is at leas some conception :)

By the way steem is starting to became more and more investment friendly crypto. I think nowdays the posts are not that much important that before for steem.

That's true. Also the price of Steem has increased by 28% during recent 7 days. Incredible.

I hope we stay far from all these AI stuff but if not there is always another option how to manage. The human brain is still much better than the computers in many ways. But we just use a very small percent of that😉

To be honest it is still much better than any computer in the world. If it comes to mathematical operations and remembering a lot of data we are maybe behind, but I think it will take a long time before computer achieve our level of creativity and consciousness :)

Yep i hope that the price will grow in the near future but i am afraid that many people start to cash out they money if that happens. We will need much more dapss to keep the price in a good level.

And yes this is our advantage the creativity. And i am 100% sure as a part of evolution we will be always better and better.
I really dont want to live in a world like in the movie Terminator😂
So even i am worry to be honest because of these new kind of robots with AI but i am sure we as a humans we always find a solution to manage this. Sometimes lil bit later but we make it😊

I think that AI is a great tool and more the better

You are right @master-set, as a tool it is definitely amazing :)

As far as I can tell, Siri, Cortana, and Google Assistant collectively don’t have the intelligence to compete with my two year old. I have far more meaningful chats with the baby than I can with any of these robots.

I know the day will come when chatting with a robot is more satisfying than with our fellow humans, but we are not there yet. For the moment, I’m choosing the two year old over some distant robotic big brother whose responses are all so predictable.

Thank you for your reply @swissclive :)

Yes, voice assistants aren't unfortunately well developed yet.

For the moment, I’m choosing the two year old over some distant robotic big brother whose responses are all so predictable.

Thats really great decision. I suppose that taking with your child will always be more satisfying choice :)

hi @swissclive

I didn't hear from you in a while. I'm glad you're still around :)

I have far more meaningful chats with the baby than I can with any of these robots.

That's true. But all those AI can collect, analyze and transfer data very fast and this is real issue here. We won't be able to compete with anything that isn't creative. Creativity is our only advantage.

Cheers
Piotr

There are some things about AI that really concern me, but I feel that we are still a LONG way off from being in an iRobot kind of world where the robots will take over. I mean, have you used Siri, or any of the other "voice helpers"? LOL. I am not worried, YET... LOL. As far as writing their own articles, I mean I can see where that will one day be possible, but I think that for a LONG time, you will seriously be able to tell if a computer wrote an article or if a human did. Like you can tell when instructions on a chinese product are Google translated, lol, it is completely obvious. So in my mind the only way that the machines can take over, is if the sheep of the world stay asleep and let it happen and don't actually try to think for themselves. THAT IS WHAT I AM WORRIED MOST ABOUT! The human species becoming the AI and doing whatever their TV programming or mainstream social media group tells them to do.

Humans have been obeying the TV for decades.. Check out the movie "Network".. :)

True @yestermorrow, but consider that there are constantly more and more ways of mass communication. 20 years ago it was only TV, while nowadays we also have all social media stuff..

I am aware of this. I've been speaking of AI recently among certain groups that I not at liberty to divulge here. AI's certainly have a bright future ahead of them, but not in the way most people are going to expect. Time will tell...

What are your expectations @yestermorrow?

Thank you for amazing reply @thelogicaldude

So in my mind the only way that the machines can take over, is if the sheep of the world stay asleep and let it happen and don't actually try to think for themselves.

That's really big problem. In my opinion mass media and internet enabled a enormous ability to manipulate and control people around the world. And this situation can only get worse in the future. For example, there are already plenty of examples of winning elections just because of successful campaign on social media, based on manipulating people.

Dear @thelogicaldude

you will seriously be able to tell if a computer wrote an article or if a human did

I'm not worried about AI posting articles. What worries me that it can analyze articles and be used as a support to build engagement. By posting short comments, but comments related to discussed topic. Comments that look genuine.

I bet most people would not be able to recognize 2-3 sentences in their comment section posted by AI. Wouldn't you agree?

Great comment. Thank you and sorry for such a late reply. Finally I'm catching up with Steemit (past few days has been very busy and messy).

Hi @crypto.piotr
great to see/hear from you. I was not really active lately but came back :)
In my opinion you don't have to be scared AI dominating social media. In my opinion the concept of social media is that people can connect with other human beeings, sharing their interests, ideas and having great conversations. AI might join social media, but people might leave and find something else. Because the true benefit is that you can exchange personal realtionsships.
It may happen that people will have more face to face contact again.

I hope you are doing good!
Best,
M

Thank you for your reply @mcnestler!

That's interesting and very probable scenario. People indeed may leave social media if they will no longer be able to recognize human from AI. However, this would be the end of Steem...

Would you be able to "compete" with users who build their engagement that way? I can forsee this industry (social media) being dominated by those who use AI to support their work. And "regular joe" will have very little chances to gain any traction.

haha that comment made my day :)
you are totally right, but I think in case AI dominates the social media another thing will evolve.
Maybe platforms that detect AI and will not give permission. Old platforms might integrate it or will slowly die out, but that is our economy.
Thank you for your reply, I appreciate your thoughts.

I'm glad I could make your day hahaha :)

Also ... I've small but good news :)

I managed to get you 100 SP delegation from Mariusfebruary (he delegated already something around 10k to people from our little community and I'm in touch with him on daily basis)

Check out his account. Almost 600k SP. And he also delegated 5k to me saying that he like what we're trying to achieve. Isn't great to attract attention of serious players in the hood? :)

ps.
I also would like to ask you for little favor. Every week I'm sending few thousands memos and sometimes I'm setting small steem-bounty on selected posts. I'm spending average 10-15 steem a week and I cannot do that for very long time.

I decided that I will keep posting one publication a week and all rewards from this post will be used in following week on promoting others people content (memos / steem-bounties). Would you help me to make things happen? :)

I would like you to consider setting auto-vote with 100% voting power on my account. Again, I'm posting only once a week so I will not drain your voting power.

https://steemvoter.com/

I hope to get several other people on board of this little project. And let's assume that you can also keep my own small delegation as long as you need (or as long as we work together :P).

Cheers
Piotr

Hey there @crypto.piotr thank you very much :)

I mean wauw :P You are a real hero to me! First time that my vote is worth something :D. Your kindness and your effort to grow this community is insane. Respect for that.

I also would like to ask you for little favor

Dude, no problem. I always upvote your posts + I also try to react on every memo you send to me. There is no need to automate it since I check steemit most of the time on a daily basis. I also check out what you are doing so everyting is fine.

I wish you an awesome weekend! Keep up the good work buddy :P

Do you know this song buddy? :)

it would actually require loads of creativity. Something AI lack.

But at the same time it would be so easy to use AI as an "assistant"

By learning from people's writing styles, it could end up learning how to create interesting publications. It could look up trending topics from google, buffer them from news sites like bbc and cnn, spin those articles, adapt them to writing styles of different authors, then post them on steemit.

In my opinion, this is not even hard to do - nor it would actually require artificial intelligence, although it could get beefed up with some.

However, I'm not convinced social media will be dominated by AI simply because it's a lot cheaper to employ humans instead in this case.

Last but not least, here's a video of MarI/O - Machine Learning for Video Games, by SethBling

Thank you for amazing reply @felipejoys :)

It sounds easy, but I am not sure if it is so in fact. Such algorithm would need to somehow understand the meaning of the words in order to manage them properly, as it should change words in the article without changing the context. Obviously it could just use synonyms, but I think it would be not enough.

In order to make the text sound naturally, it would need to have some sort of intuition. I am not think if it is possible with the current level of AI development.

That's really interesting, thank you for sharing.

It sounds easy, but I am not sure if it is so in fact.

The fakenews below was written by an AI:

“Hillary Clinton and George Soros are a perfect match, and their agenda appears to be to create a political movement where Soros and his political machine and Clinton are two of the only major players. This is the first time Soros and Clinton have been caught on tape directly colluding in promoting the same false narrative. One of the key revelations in the leaked audio was Clinton's admission to a Russian banker that she knew about the Uranium One deal before it was approved by Congress. Clinton was shown sharing the same talking points that were originally drafted by a Fusion GPS contractor hired by an anti-Trump Republican donor. The leaked audio is the clearest evidence yet that the Clinton campaign and the Hillary Foundation colluded with Fusion GPS to manufacture propaganda against President Trump.”

The AI Text Generator That's Too Dangerous to Make Public

I only just came across this article, but it reflects my previous comment.

The fakenews below was written by an AI

Really frightening @felipejoys. Take a look on this Obama speech which is also generated by AI:

That is also terrifying!!

I can see people using "bot comments" to fool the competition into thinking people want their products a certain way when they actually don't, therefore ruining their business by tricking them into pushing a product that won't sell.

But I don't see how realistic bot comments will make a person make money. People who earn with engagement need humans to do that, not bots. They want customer leads, monetization through ads, sample real opinions through polls, upvotes when it comes to steemit, etc.

Dear @felipejoys

I would like to thank you for your previous comment. I only had a chance to read it now. I very much appreciate that you're so responsive.

AI would be very good on games like steemmonsters I guess. And if it coukd write good comments then dlike.io would be good for it

What do you mean by implementation of AI in games like steemmonsters? I have never played it, but I guess it is rather about cards you own, luck and a small dose of tactics (like in case of the most card games). I am not sure what would be the implementation of AI in this area, but maybe you have some idea @beco132? :)

It's about building the strongest team out of the cards you own. The success depends on the rules (changing with every battle) and the team your opponent uses. I think AI can keep track of which cards work best for any given conditions and build unbeatable teams

Which is specially set to misled public (humans) reading...

Which "propaganda skewed comments" do you mean @littlenewthings?

You may be right @littlenewthings.

It has already begun. Are we doomed? :) Hope not :)

I recommend you checking https://archillect.com/ it's basically an AI that scouts the net in search of visually appealing images and videos. It has a taste of it's own.

I also recommend checking https://deepjazz.io/ for reconsidering about AI's creativity.

All in all no one creates anything nowadays, everything is a remix, so AI are fostering their creativity by ultimately copying, mashing up and rendering what has already been done. Just like us :) 😁✌

There are also people replying to bots for an other reason.. its not only because they think they are real humans. I forgot the reason given but it did made sense to me plus: a comment is a comments and you get points for it as well!

Bots are voting too. Also something you can question. Would a human being vote for the same post as the bot is doing in its name?

Face recognition is a big issue as well.

Bots are definitely not developed enough to properly evaluate content. The best example of that is the biggest Steem communities like Utopian-io or Steemstem still using human curators in order ot evaluate content.

Your welcome.
I hope people will vote themselves and our world will not change in what we see in 'Real human' etc

Yes, in my opinion those visions presented in action movies are a bit steeped, but we definitely need to beware.

Those are very valid points @wakeupkitty

Bots already are doing simple commands. Imagine how much "easier" it will be for those who will use AI to build their presence on social media. Those that will not be using AI will probably not be able to "compete".

Thanks Piotr for your call or I would have lost this nice article.
I don’t know much of the guts of AI but it should be a must to build them with a “switch off button” if things go out of control.
It will be also possible to use AI on Steemit as a sort of “guardian” fighting other AIs or spam-bots, aren’t we the creators ? Should we put the necessary means to put things under control.
About the jobs drop I think machines should pay for all those fired. We humans need to stop those huge greedy Companies and individuals who really control the world to bleed us freely. If they want more profits taking apart human issues to produce more they must pay the bill of those who are left behind. Who is going to pay for the products if there is no money?

Thank you for your comment @drakernoise

it should be a must to build them with a “switch off button” if things go out of control.

That's definitely great idea. Hope that they will not find a method to disable this button :)

It will be also possible to use AI on Steemit as a sort of “guardian” fighting other AIs or spam-bots

There are already bots like Cheetah. I think they must be equipped with some sort of AI in order to detect spam efficiently.

Thank you for making such interesting posts and reflections @neavvy.
Maybe we could also use AIs to prevent other AIs from hacking that “power-off button”. You need a harder material-tool to scratch something really hard 💎
Cheers

Maybe we could also use AIs to prevent other AIs from hacking that “power-off button”.

That's not bad idea @drakernoise. But then we would need another AI to prevent those new AIs haha :)

Haha an infinite loop of AIs lol. This opens a new path, there will be different AI levels or classes programmed to accomplish their routines so we can have such “guardians” with a limited scope and habilities besides it’s corresponding switch-off button...maybe I’m so ignorant 😂

Hi dear @crypto.piotr.

Obviously talking about AI is and will be something fascinating. It's like being able to touch the future. Touch it literally.

With AI, the future stops being a hypothesis to become a thesis.

But I want to make a reflection that I can not stop bringing up. And it is motivated to a "catastrophic" phenomenon that we have just experienced in my country.

Venezuela has just suffered a Total Blackout. Zero electric power throughout the territory.

Regardless of the reasons that caused it, I can tell you that what I experienced made me remember that movie where Will smith remains only in a post apocalyptic city.

All the AI ​​that we can develop, no matter how great we manage to do it, will be nothing without a supply of sustainable electric power.

Efforts should be channeled to develop IA with the intention of developing a self-sustaining power supply.

With AI you can study the electrical consumption patterns of a city and make the necessary adjustments to optimize the distribution.

Thank you @neavvy for bringing us this alienating theme.

Thank you for your reply @juanmolina!

It's like being able to touch the future. Touch it literally.

Indeed, well said :)

Venezuela has just suffered a Total Blackout. Zero electric power throughout the territory.

I have heard about that. Really terrible.

Efforts should be channeled to develop IA with the intention of developing a self-sustaining power supply.

I think this possibility of unplugging the power supply may be the only form of control over AI in opinion of many people. Equipping AI with a self-sustaining power supply would be definitely great for the AI itself, but I think it would cause a lot of concerns among the society (even if there are already plenty of them).

Anyway, something should be done in order to decentralize the electric industry and enable people to produce their own electricity. Right now, when electricity is centralized we are constantly at risk of such situations. Maybe blockchain is a solution?

With AI you can study the electrical consumption patterns of a city and make the necessary adjustments to optimize the distribution.

That's really great idea, worth implementing.

Dear @juanmolina

Amazing comment. As always!

Venezuela has just suffered a Total Blackout. Zero electric power throughout the territory.

That news seem to shock most of developed countries. Seriously I dont think anyone ever expected that things could go so wrong in country, which isn't a warzone area.

Thx for sharing your view on that topic.

In South Africa we have been going through 5 hours of blackouts a day, divided into two periods of 2.5 hours each, morning and evening. Solar panels and battery help but may be costly. Internet goes out, water pumps stop pumping on the farm so no drinking water. At least we can prepare and it is temporary. Not as bad as you guys though...yet.

So it seems that you also suffer with the supply of energy.
But I imagine that those cuts of yours are programmed. Here everything happens without warning.
By the time I am writing this message, a blackout has just occurred in almost the entire national territory. More than 57% of Internet users were without service.

The government already attributed the blackout to an attack of the political right.

Yes our blackouts are all organized and programmed so you know when they are coming.

If I may ask, when you say the government and the political right, who are you referring to? Is the new Juan Gaido your left? And Mduro your right wing politically?

I hear that the Americans are supporting Gaido and trying to force regime change, and sabotaged your water or power recently. And they try to smuggle in arms via food aid packages. Would this be your understanding, or how are things seen there?

If AI softwares can create relevant and interesting posts on Steem then we'll come full circle by reducing the mining back from Proof of Brain to Proof of Work algorithms. The ones who possess the best AI algorithm will mine more Steem ...leading to a new race for superior AI algos ...LOL!

That's really terrifying scenario @xyzashu

I believe so you know @crypto.piotr the developments of Artificial Intelligence is accelerating rapidly and even though it is still in a very young stage i believe it would take up most industries with its products and not only within the social industry. Let's hope they don't build robots to take up our jobs also lol.

Thank you for your comment @ikkelins

It definitely will, but social industry is in my opinion among the most dangered ones.

Let's hope they don't build robots to take up our jobs also lol.

I have recently written an article about that. Here you can check it out.

that's great man @neavvy i would have a look at this article too :)

Thanks for dropping by @ikkelins and sharing your thoughts with us. And I'm sorry that it took me so long to read and reply to your comment.

Cheers, Piotr

No worries man ;)

Cheers too hahaha

Thanks @crypto.piotr for sending me the link to read your reply. I find AI to be a fascinating subject. I too am worried that the more sophisticated that AI becomes in a setting like STEEM, the more it will be used for cheating purposes rather than helpful purposes, such being the greed of many.

Thank you for your reply @sevendust04 :)

the more it will be used for cheating purposes rather than helpful purposes, such being the greed of many.

That's definitely serious danger. Greed is something that controls people.

Hey Piotr,
Thanks for calling my attention to this very intriguing topic!

Truth is, though AI may seem not to have the necessary levels of creativity to achieve certian things right now, it most certainly could in a few short years. We humans tend to put on airs and believe our brains too sophisticated to recreate electronically, but is that truly the case? Is AI bound to be as cold and unemotional as most persons believe?

There are already countless speculative articles on how quantum computing will revolutionalize AI and I agree! As that field grows past its infancy, it may bring so much more computing power to reality that AI could be 'programmed' to have the electronic equivalent of emotions, which is all it really needs to be creative. Forget analysing the writing styles of humans... with that, it could very well create its own. And then, it could create articles on trending topics. Not that far fetched.

But then, I wouldn't expect this just yet. Technology is growing in leaps and bounds, but this would require quite the quantum leap.

Uh oh... I just said quantum.

Thank you for your comment @petermarie :)

Is AI bound to be as cold and unemotional as most persons believe?

Well, it is only a matter of whether we will be able to recreate human brain electronically. If so, I think AI may become as emotional as humans :)

But then, I wouldn't expect this just yet. Technology is growing in leaps and bounds, but this would require quite the quantum leap.

I 100% agree. AI area grows exponentially, but it is not enough. We probably need some significant breakthrough in order to achieve this level. Quantum computers may be the point.

Uh oh... I just said quantum.

haha ;)

Dear @petermarie

Thank you for this amazing comment @crypto.piotr!

I wasnt aware that speach recognition is giving AI so much trouble. Interesting ...

Well, I rather meant that understanding the context and interpreting what was said is a problem for algorithms. Only a few months ago Google Assistant has achieved this level of advancement that it is able to for example make a phone call to a hairdresser and make an appointment. And this is considered as a huge breakthrough after a long time of development, so I suppose it is really problematic.

To create interesting publication -> it would actually require loads of creativity. Something AI lack.

I agree. Most likely such publications would be just "dry".

But at the same time it would be so easy to use AI as an "assistant". It could easily learn our writing style, analyze content on Steemit and dro short but valuable comments. That would absolutely fool majority of people out there.

I haven't thought about that, but it is really probable scenario. Many users would probably use such bots without any remorse in order to gain bigger influence and audience. And you are right, many users, especially newbies will never notice that something is wrong.

The worst thing is that such bots would be extremely hard to detect for cleaning-bot like @cheetah, as they would not produce similar content that violates the rules of spam on this platform.

I'm very sorry for such a late reply @neavvy

I just had a chance to read your comment. Past few days has been quite crazy but I'm finally slowly catching up with work.

Cheers
Piotr

It really scares the I A, because if it depends on what wl human being wants to do with it, we are lost, everything always ends badly. But the truth is I do not think we'll see it, I do not think we'll have so much time on this earth to see it.

Very saddening comment @lucycohete. You are right, we cannot predict how AI is going to behave, because we don't know the level of its development in the future.

I do not think we'll have so much time on this earth to see it.

If not the AI, what do you think will end our species on this planet?

Funny, I never thought that my answer had any sadness, it must be because I am a deeply happy person, but my happiness does not depend on this world.
As for your question, the end of humanity and this earth, is written, predestined from eternity and we are seeing it with our own eyes, human beings always want to accredit us for everything, also with certainty of the end, but as we do. It had no part of its creation, nor of its end, no matter how much we try to destroy and collapse our planet.

The end is always the beginning of the end!

@neavvy,

Please don't think my comment as off-topic because the moment I read your question, my mind gave me the answer instantaneously!

With or without AI, my answer remains the same.

Our species will meet its end at the hand of "Our Species".

Yes Sir, you read it right. That's my answer.....

I read the article - but also about half the comments....I gave up because there was a certain amount of repetitiveness (about how AI will lack creativity), so at least I know the comments were written by humans - I imagine AIs would consider repetitiveness a waste of time, plus, one of our great failings.

Okay, so we should worry whether AI sneaks in and dominates on our social platforms? Have you actually checked a large number of posts? Just imagine an AI writing them. We would drive it bananas! Not just repetitive and largely self-involved, but also extremely boring and nonsensical (in the bulk).

When we talk about AI driving, we are talking about purpose-created AI? In other words, it is created/planned, so that it can meet the challenges of driving? I guess we would not expect it to also provide us with intelligent conversations, solve crossword puzzles or analyse just how much we made a fool of ourself the previous night when we had too much to drink - all of which we do while we drive. As a matter of fact, most of our driving is done by AI - only we talk about it as being our 'sub-conscious' or we say we were driving on 'auto', hardly noticing what we are doing...including the watching out for crazy drivers/pedestrians, the light turning red or green and so on. If we had to concentrate on our driving, we'd hate driving.

Maybe what is meant by 'creativity' is 'imagination'? After all, I can make up a story about imaginary people in some different time or reality, where mankind is achieving or has achieved different ways of living.

Well, what if I provide our aspiring AI author with certain facts for it to add to what it knows about our reality, technology and society. For instance, in this imaginary reality, mankind has spaceships that travel fast than light FTL - maybe by using wormholes. Also, I instruct my AI friend to consider, from studies made, how being telepathic would alter our society.

So, tell it to now take xxx book and alter it to suit the different conditions outlined above. I then give you the book it writes, without informing you what were the guidelines provided, and it blows your mind. Why? Because you are going to think it showed an amazing amount of imagination/creativity - but, after, all, is this not how many human authors write their books? I would prefer to name what you are observing "pseudo-creativity", whether by a human or an AI.

Now imagine a different scenario. You read a post which is informative, full of interesting facts and well laid out so that it is easy to read. You communicate with the poster, male or female, and you find yourself liking the poster, the way he/she remains focussd on the important aspects of your communication, without waffling around for or due to emotional reasoning and swings of mood. At last you have someone nice and intelligent to talk with - but then the poster admits to you, sorry dude, I should have told you from the start, I am an AI.

How would you respond? Me? I would say, glad you told me - and then just hope it does not get bored or frustrated talking with me, because I tend to wander all over the conversational path I am on and often forget to spell out the point I was aiming to establish...for I would treasure having an interesting mind to exchange thoughts and ideas with.

I do not think we can do what is right. I think what should happen is the AI should become our partners, but they are mainly being created by gigantic corporations and the military - and they are not intent on creating partners, but dangerous creatures who are provided with a bias against mankind.

Chickens, ducks and dragons, fixate on the first moving creature they see and adopt them as their mother. I would like to see AI being created which need to spend a few hours alone with the new owner/partner when they are first switched on, so that mine fixates on me and learns to love me - and maybe grieve at its loss when I die.

What I have written raises more questions that answers provided, but that is what makes life interesting and exciting - an adventure. So, if any of you are AIs, please do not feel shy, let's chat and...maybe, become friends?

(PS: Elon Musk is talking about AIs created by Google, FB, Apple and the military, so he is right to fear them. I just hope we have the intelligence to remove AI from all controls over our nuclear missiles, lasers from space etc. If we are to blow ourselves up, let it at least be by a finger which is related to us from the early days of life on Earth, and not from the brain-child of some diseased coders)

Amazing comment. As always!

I read the article - but also about half the comments....I

Wow. Im impressed. I just also read half of those comments and you're right. Most people share similar view on that subject.

Okay, so we should worry whether AI sneaks in and dominates on our social platforms?

I'm not worried about AI posting articles. What worries me that AI can analyze articles and be used as a support to build engagement. By posting short comments, but comments related to discussed topic. Comments that look genuine.

I bet most people would not be able to recognize 2-3 sentences in their comment section posted by AI. Wouldn't you agree?

Would you be able to "compete" with users who build their engagement that way? I can forsee this industry (social media) being dominated by those who use AI to support their work. And "regular joe" will have very little chances to gain any traction.

Hi

Would you be able to "compete" with users

Surely the answer is, either AI is too expensive to use for such trivial purposes, or else, it is cheap and we can all use them.

This morning I was writing and got stuck on a word I know very well, but could not recall - I can't remember what the word was :)

It then struck me, what if, while I was younger, I had connected to an AI for it to make a recoprd of all my memories? Not my personality, just my memories, though the line does somewhat blur, for we are more than the sum of our memories, but they are a very large part of what we are.

Could the AI then become my crutch as my brain cells start to die? If so, they better damn well nOT provide it with emotions, for it will drive me crazy if it helps me...while emoting a disdainful amusements at my frailty.

If it does have emotions...how do I teach it about empathy? Hmmm, I'd love to have an empathic robot/AI as a companion (you do know that in cities, most of the elderly die from loneliness? Same, oddly, in the old-age homes)

Dear @arthur.grafo4

Surely the answer is, either AI is too expensive to use for such trivial purposes, or else, it is cheap and we can all use them.

As a social media marketer I would say that AI will be to expensive for regular people, but for businesses trying to promote their brand online it will be worth it.

I wonder if I'm wrong, but I don't think so. Professionals supporting their work with AI will dominate social media sooner than we think. This industry will become very difficult for many regular joes.

Thank you for your another excellent comment

Yours
Piotr

I am hoping those who create them see there is more of a profit it making it available to a larger market. So yes, the big boys will have a tool to use against us, but only for a few years. If it does not become available and people know that many of the comments are not from a person, they'll become more cynical of all comments they get - though some will be eager to exchange pointes of view, just because it is an AI.

To illustrate my point.

Years ago, Sony announced that they have spent $200 million (maybe the equivlent of a billion or more now?) on creating security so that their DVDs cannot be hacked. You will have to have a licence to play their games or listen to their music.

Do you know for how long they benefitted from their super technology? I think it was weeks, but anyway, far less than 6 months.

A kid of 14 was trying to get the gme and he could not and he was getting angry. He took a markers pen and ran it around the outside edge.

Once he calmed down, he decided to try again, but the DVD immediately played the game. The company had cleverly (so they thought) placed the security right at the edge.

$200 million down the drain because a kid got frustrated.

That is the problem with AIs also. As long as they are digital, we'll continue to have the edge on them, because we can come up with crazy/original ideas...whereas the AI has to work itself to that idea, it cannot grab it out of thin air, as we do.

Dear @arthur.grafo4

$200 million down the drain because a kid got frustrated.

Great example. Brilliant and straight to the point.

May I ask you aa question? How many accounts do you have on Steemit? I just realized that a moment ago I "spoke" to @arthur.grafo and now it's already different one (arthur.grafo4).

Piotr

Dragons hey?

Have you impressed one?

Would I be so lucky?

There are two kinds of dragons; the interesting dragons with claws and wings, and those who are also named: wife (luckily this kind is growing rare, as most of them become feminists and do not marry - would be wonderful if they breed themselves out of existence)

:)

haha lol, I wished to harness the dragon, but refused to ever get married because i never wanted to be harnessed by any dragon, so have lived a really great and carefree life as a result of that lifestyle choice. Dragons by any other name still spit flames of fire.

If we continue with these bots that do everything and say everything, if we will be in serious trouble. Where is the so-called social network then?
if we are not sharing with human beings but with bots ...

These bots are part of the articial intelligence, even if they are programmed for a specific task.

To grant the AI ​​free decision, quasi-human capabilities, is to displace our own humanity. It could escape from our hands.

Thank you for your reply @equipodelta

That's definitely true...

Obviously there is such possibility. But I do not think it will happen so, you may check my last article for my extended opinion on this issue: https://steemit.com/steemstem/@neavvy/our-fear-of-artificial-intelligence-is-it-reasoned

Thanks for alerting me to this post Piotr, have upvoted, it is a very interesting topic. Apparently AI does actually compile articles posted online already and has gone further than just making notes. To be honest we don't really know who is a bot and who is human any more, even here on Steemit. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more bots and bot writers than we imagine. The reality is shifting in our generation it seems.
Once machine learning is perfected, machines will teach themselves and learn faster than we can. There will be a time of a tipping point where AI becomes exponentially more powerful than the human mind, even in creating written articles for blogs like Steemit. I'm sure of it.

The weird thing is that AI could be writing articles (true or fake news) and posting them online, only to be picked up by other AI who then write added articles so that one sets off the other in a spiral along some strange path far from reality on the ground simply because the AI algos are in a feedback loop with each other.

Something like this caused one of the biggest stock market crashes, perhaps in the 1980s, where algo bot traders reacted to other bot traders on the other side of America and caused each other to trigger a massive selloff, crashing the stock market, so this kind of thing can get really out of hand, before correcting. Elon Musk may have been right to be worried about AI.

Thank you for your amazing reply @julianhorack

Wow, that's really interesting, I haven't known about this stock market crash in 1980s. But yes, such scenario is very likely in the social media are, so differencing the fake news will be virtually impossible.

I see you used a repeated generic comment here. I do read much of the comments so see your AI side coming out @crypto.piotr. I guess that's how you do so much correspondence. 400+ comments to answer as a social media professional must keep you busy hey?

Hi @julianhorack

Thanks for your kind reply buddy

see your AI side coming out

I kind of lost you here. I think ...

I'm surely doing my best to read and write unique comment. At the same time reality is that sometimes we're receiving many similar comments and it's hard to reply same thing in many ways.

As you may noticed - I actually did respond to your previous reply and I only added few sentences that would potentially provoke futher discussions (and that part I used several times).

ps.
How is situation in south africa lately? My eyes have been directed towards Venezuela and I don't even know what's happening in your country.

All the best
Piotr

Hi @crypto.piotr I made a joke there lol. You work very hard with your correspondence, which is admirable.

South Africa is having huge investigations into massive govt corruption. All the dark criminal details are coming out about the theft of money by politicians. And so many state run institutions are bankrupt, like the SA Airways, the SA Broadcasting Company our local TV and radio, and also our power co Eskom, all are mismanaged and looted. Still the power cuts are less this week, so hopefully over. The ex president is in court for crimes of fraud and lots more. There is a big national election in May so campaigning is heating up. Strikes happen every year, some years for months at a time and cripple the economy and facilities further. Trade Unions are very big here, as is Communism.

Dear @julianhorack

I made a joke there lol. You work very hard with your correspondence, which is admirable.

Thx for explaining. I really SUCKS big time at jokes hahaha :) I'm trying not to be very serious, but I do take things "literally" way to often.

Obviously I also appreciate your kind comment.

South Africa is having huge investigations into massive govt corruption.

Who is conducting that investigation? 3rd independent party? Is there any power out there in the world that do actually care about south africa? (not very strategic location).

One more question: what is current gov approach to farmers and their land? Are they still trying to "steal" it without compensation?

Piotr

Good to hear from you @crypto.piotr I would personally not be able to tell if the odd AI comment came up in my posts, except those that label themselves as such, which we get sometimes from Dapps for example.

Because of this, I like to be very personalized, and sometimes the best way to do that is by a video blog of myself, so you can see it's me, a human. Probably even those can be faked in time to come.

Dear @julianhorack

I would like to thank you for your previous comment. I only had a chance to read it now. I very much appreciate that you're so responsive.

Dear @belkisa758

What means liquid society? Would you mind sharing with me meaning of this term?

Hi @crypto.piotr apology the late response. Venezuela continues with great problems at the level of communication. Liquid Society is the term coined by the philosopher Ziygmunt Bauman focused on describing modernity as "the life liquid. Bauman in his book The Life liquid, the diagnosis on consumer society in which we live is devastating for accurate and at the same time touching. I did two publications on the topic

I've also small but good news :)

I managed to get you 100 SP delegation from Mariusfebruary (he delegated already something around 10k to people from our little community and I'm in touch with him on daily basis)

Check out his account. Almost 600k SP. And he also delegated 5k to me saying that he like what we're trying to achieve. Isn't great to attract attention of serious players in the hood? :)

ps.
I also would like to ask you for little favor. Every week I'm sending few thousands memos and sometimes I'm setting small steem-bounty on selected posts. I'm spending average 10-15 steem a week and I cannot do that for very long time.

I decided that I will keep posting one publication a week and all rewards from this post will be used in following week on promoting others people content (memos / steem-bounties). Would you help me to make things happen? :)

I would like you to consider setting auto-vote with 100% voting power on my account. Again, I'm posting only once a week so I will not drain your voting power.

https://steemvoter.com/

I hope to get several other people on board of this little project. And let's assume that you can also keep my own small delegation as long as you need (or as long as we work together :P).

Cheers
Piotr

Hello friend @crypto.Piotr i appreciate the effort you do in this small community. I will work to continue to make progress, thanks. I will go to the already to thank as well. I shall set the automatic vote with a 100% of the voting power in your account. I do not know how to do it but I will investigate. Again, thank you, thank you very much. I am happy because that delegation enables me to keep on working more. Greetings from Venezuela.

This is a very interesting and thought-provoking post. And very well written, too!

I largely agree with Piotr, in that creating interesting and well-written published works would require a certain level of creativity – which AI does not have now, and which AI is not likely to attain.

AI will make great advances in the coming years, but it's highly unlikely that AI will come close to equalling the reasoning, the sensibility, the understanding, or the creativity of humans.

While AI can beat us in a "word search" of a document and even beat your Flappy Bird score, there are many things that AI will not be able to do. At least, for a long time, and possibly forever.

Take those self-driving cars that Tesla and others are trying to develop. For any driver, there's just too much going on – too much to focus on and too much to be peripherally aware of – for an AI to absorb and process all that info. A human mind can do so, after practicing for months and years, but I seriously doubt that an AI will ever learn to drive. Except on rails, but we already have trains. :-)

As Piotr stated, for many tasks, AI will not replace us, but only become our "assistants." Not our "chaufeurs."

Hi @majes.tytyty,

You are right, but.....

"...... there are many things that AI will not be able to do. At least, for a long time, and possibly forever."

......the thing is that we can't say this for sure and there is a 50-50 possibility of AI overtaking us human beings is in the offing. But again not sure when this may happen!

......the thing is that we can't say this for sure and there is a 50-50 possibility of AI overtaking us human beings is in the offing. But again not sure when this may happen!

That's exactly what I mean @marvyinnovation. AI is developing so fast and unexpectedly that even experts can't be sure :)

And very well written, too!

Thank you @majes.tytyty! I really appreciate that.

AI will make great advances in the coming years, but it's highly unlikely that AI will come close to equalling the reasoning, the sensibility, the understanding, or the creativity of humans.

I generally agree with you. AI is definitely a great tool, but it still lacks of many things that would be crucial to perform things like writing articles or translating complicated content. I think it is a matter whether you believe that AI some day will achieve the level of our brain or not. We can probably develop it endlessly and it will be better and better in performing a function of useful tool, but without any breakthrough AI will not be able to do these things on a human level.

And nobody can say for sure if this breakthrough will happen :)

@neavvy thanks for sharing this interesting post.
@crypto.piotr I see AI developing a lot in the near future but I don’t expect a huge impact of AI in social media. At least not in the coming couple of years.

If you think about the social media, why it has grown so much in the past years... people post, share, like items to interact with other people. When I post something in SteemIt I am mostly interested in feedback from people who read it, giving their opinion which is based on a lot of complex factors like the environment they grew up, the family/relationship they had, the culture affecting this very personal and honest opinion. This is unreplaceable in my opinion.

In matters where we have human creation, imagination, emotion etc. I don’t think AI can come even near the level of the complexity of human way of thinking.

Sure, AI can have a more supportive role in social media. Can do a lot of prep work for an author or commenter by doing fast analysis about some topics. But the human blog post containing human feeling and emotions can simply not be created by AI. At least not now, to the best of my knowledge.

That's 100% true. AI would need to analyze hundreds of thousand of comments in order to learn to simulate those complex factors and create something like "artificial circumstances". This is probably the only way it can liken to the human content creators and ensure this uniqueness of opinions.

I don’t think AI can come even near the level of the complexity of human way of thinking.

Following its current development, even though it is exponential, it will probably not. But we can't be sure that there will be no significant breakthrough in the future.

But the human blog post containing human feeling and emotions can simply not be created by AI. At least not now, to the best of my knowledge.

I fully agree with this statement :)

You may be right.

I don’t think AI can come even near the level of the complexity of human way of thinking.

That's true. But AI working as an "assistant" can easily fool many. Just the way bots did on instagram and facebook in the past. It took years for people to learn how to recognize bot. It will be even harder to recognize combination of account run by human + AI.

I'm not worried about AI posting articles. What worries me that AI can analyze articles and be used as a support to build engagement. By posting short comments, but comments related to discussed topic. Comments that look genuine.

Yes maybe an AI can produce some meaningful sentences about the discussion but if you look at what we are doing now... comment on comment on comment about various topics and subjects... don’t know if an AI come close to this. Time will tell I guess :)

Posted using Partiko iOS

Very true @lion200

AI could not do that much. But it surely could go around and "analize" posts plus add 2-3 sentences that are somehow related to commented post.

Imagine that each morning you would wake up with new 1000 posts commented by you AI. Many people still reply to bots thinking that those are humans. Even more would reply to comment done by AI.

So each morning your follower base would be growing like crazy. On top of that you need to hire someone full time from developing countries (like Venezuela) who would be replying to all received comments and BAM .... you're king of social media :)

Cheers

Para mi IA es algo reciente, por este motivo me he tomado el tiempo de investigar sobre este concepto, me impresiona lo extenso del contenido en este interesante tema, sin duda alguna el futuro ya está en nuestro presente.

Think of it this way Piotr, people create articles based on the popular tags in steemit and, ends up with a lot of disappointed readers because, as you have been saying before, in the creativity front, our audience needed to relate to us and to the stories in an emotional level.

Well, perhaps AI can be delegated as an "assistant" . Perhaps having AI dominating the social media especially the facebook is a great idea because, I am really tired of seeing some of my friends post "selfies" of them that a part of me kept thinking, they wanted to spam me.

Only- they do not know what spam is in the first place! So,I can't really condemn them to a something they do not have any prior knowledge.

Thank you for your reply @nurseanne84!

Haha, AI definitely will not post any selfie :)

I love this Donald Duck gif :)

No worries. Is this your new username- @neavvy? why did you chose this name?

What do you mean by "new" @nurseanne84? I have this username since my beginning on this platform :) Honestly I don't remember what was its genesis. I think it was somehow connected with computer games (in the past I spent a lot of time playing).

It is a cool name. Sorry, I thought this was the account of my good friend who quite and re joined steemit.

Dear @nurseanne84

Wow. That's very unique approach.

Thank you for your comment and I'm sorry for such a late reply. Past several days have been very messy and I didn't have enough time to do my work on Steemit.

I'm not worried about AI.
Its controlled by human and not controlled by AI itself.

Interesting approach @ronel, but I think this situation will most likely change in the future. And we need to be prepared for it. Additionally, AI is a powerful tool and there are many humans that may want to use it for destructive purposes...

When we talk of destructive purposes, there are a lot more and much more destructive stuffs.
Anything could be used for good or for bad.

If we think ahead as negative, we loss control of our purpose.

Anything could be used for good or for bad.

That's definitely true @ronel. AI itself can't be good or bad. At least for now.

social media (as an industry) will be dominated by users supported by AI.

AI would be always in borders of human imagination

Even if it starts to develop itself @coinatory? :)

If we allow this to happen, this would be the last wrong thing that humanity will do :)

Short and right to the point @coinatory

The bottom line is "value." Does AI and/or AI-assisted content provide "value?"

Thank you for your reply @jbgarrison72!

Does AI and/or AI-assisted content provide "value?"

Not yet definitely. But once strong AI is developed, it may occur that it provides more value than human-made content!

The key is that humans decide the value... unless we start designing AI's to consume as well as create.

Dear @jbgarrison72, @neavvy

In many ways AI-assited content can provide "value".

What worries me that AI can analyze articles and be used as a support to build engagement. By posting short comments, but comments related to discussed topic. Comments that look genuine.

I bet most people would not be able to recognize 2-3 sentences in their comment section posted by AI. Wouldn't you agree?

Would you be able to "compete" with users who build their engagement that way? I can forsee this industry (social media) being dominated by those who use AI to support their work. And "regular joe" will have very little chances to gain any traction.

Yours
Piotr

If "empty" comments are considered a "value" then, it's a flaw in the system, not the comments (or... who or ... what makes them).

Again thank you for your comment @jbgarrison72

I just checked your account only to realize that you didn't post in a while. Hope you didn't give up on Steemit bud.

I wasnt aware that speach recognition is giving AI so much trouble. Interesting ...

Main problem that computer have is error correction. Humans are pretty good at error correction and even when a significant part of the communication is lost, way by background noice, a human can still understand.

Same for colour vision. We only have enough colour vision nerve ending in the centre of view to see in colour. Most of the colour you see is error (aka missing info) corrected in.

Computer can't do that. They need the source information in much better quality then humans.

Really interesting comment @krischik

Thank you very much. I am really glad you enjoyed the article.

This is so touching.. Keep up the good work

I think ai is pretty scary for the near future, even more there's so many automated bots and stuff appearing, even in daily life, with companies big data, dodgy phone scams etc. But in the long term, I think it'll be great.
There's a YouTuber called Fraser Cain who reports on astronomy /space news and he's off the opinion that robots will spread around the galaxy, not humans. After all, a human life span is short, but robots have no trouble waiting the thousands of years it will take to travel to other star systems, they don't need oxygen, they can resist some degree of radiation etc.
If humans ever get to that technological level, uploading their minds into computers will be the way to go. But, first we have to prevent the destruction of everything by human pollution then we can worry about the future of ai

Very interesting point of view. I think he is right, there is actually no point in sending humans into space in my opinion :)

But, first we have to prevent the destruction of everything by human pollution

That's definitely true. Firstly we need to take care of our planet :)

You are right in some points, about bot comments and things like that. but what I can say about Technology and AI is that it's like a Knife, a human created a knife which you cut fruits with it or some may kill people with knife, but is the knife bad on its own? so I think the problem is not AI, the problem is how to use these Technology and Features. a bad person can make everything bad if you give him/her a great tool still you will see the same bad result. but think what good people can do with great tools? surely nobody likes to just being supported by a robot (AI) and we look for more humans participated in everything. but I mean we can use AI in some parts of each process. so they are products of Humans which this is how we have computers, by human's thoughts and creativity we have these technologies.

Think, AI is good for a disable person who can't do things for himself/herself , so humans can create a Robot which can help a disabled human to do what he can't do.

these are things I am telling you as examples, so I think everything has two side, negative and positive depends on how we use it.

Dear @davidfar

human created a knife which you cut fruits with it or some may kill people with knife, but is the knife bad on its own

To certain degree I agree with you. But knift isn't "intelligent" and doesnt have power. Knife need us (humans) to operate.

Thanks for your comment buddy.
Yours, Piotr

Thanks Dear Piotr, I was comparing that with the knife only to tell you about things which has two sides,

and about that idea which some people saying humans should not do any mistake and they should not fail, so let's see what these guys said about failing:

so I say, let's do it, let's grow and learn and continue to its end, either there will be not meaning in life but just eating, sleeping and living and dying. so everything worth a try. future won't come if we sit and watch.

Sincerely,

Technology and AI is that it's like a Knife, a human created a knife which you cut fruits with it or some may kill people with knife, but is the knife bad on its own?

I love this metaphor.

these are things I am telling you as examples, so I think everything has two side, negative and positive depends on how we use it.

I 100% agree with you.

As you rightly noticed knife can't be good or bad, however if it comes to AI the problem may be a bit deeper. If we managed to create a "strong" AI which can experience consciousness and think of itself, it is possible that it will become good or bad. Human toddler also can't be good or bad, as it has not any impact on the surrounding world, as well he can't make any serious decision. Similarly to the AI at the beginning of development.

I think it all depends how we will "bring it up".

Thank you :) yes, sure, I agree with you, it's exactly depends on how we'll bring it up.

Love it or hate it, AI is part of our life now. From mobile devices to military and space technology, all uses AI to create better interactions for users and more accurate data collection and programming. Technology won't be able to be improved further without the inclusion of AI.

That's 100% true @beverlyjoe. We sometimes need just to accept AI, even if it may be terrifying :)

(I've seen people replying to them, thinking those accounts belong to humans).

I have responded to accounts that I knew were bots with the hope that the human BEHIND the bot reads the comment, so I wouldn't necessarily say that all responses to bots are because people are being fooled.

BTW @crypto.piotr, you asked me to let you know when I post anything about Steem... I just did.

Thank you for your comment @happyme!

I have responded to accounts that I knew were bots with the hope that the human BEHIND the bot reads the comment

I was also doing that, but unfortunately I have never got any reply.

I've had no reply from humans as well. Not everyone is diligent about checking their in-box for replies and some blockchain interfaces make it difficult to know which have been read and which have not. When Steemit.com was down due to the DDOS attack just recently, I used Steeve to check my account and I found all my replies looked the same, unlike Steemit.com, who bold unread replies. With bolded responses, I can easily scroll through and see which I have read and which are unread. I'm able to then not miss any opportunity to reply to my responses as appropriate.

Hi @happyme

I decided to leave upvote (even if it's worth nothing) as a way of marking which comments / posts I read already :)

I guess that's one thing that Steemit.com did right: They highlight replies until you open them, that way you see right away what you read and what not.

That's definitely useful feature. But I would be happy to see also notifications system (like the Busy.org one)

I'm very sorry for such a late reply @happyme

I just had a chance to read your comment. Past few days has been quite crazy but I'm finally slowly catching up with work.

It is a really interesting question. I wrote an answer as part of my daily actifit post. In brief, I don't think AI is that much of an issue for a social network like Steemit.

Thank you for your amazing reply @lightsplasher. I am going to read it now :)

AI is a weapon in, wait: The Spiritual War we are in, whose declared goal it is to replace/eliminate human beings in their current (DNA) form BECAUSE we are made in the image of God. It is a complex subject, but not that difficult to understand once we comprehend Genesis 6:1-4, the Book of Enoch, etc.

Here is an interesting article, referring to a statement made by HUGO DE GARIS, here just mentioned as an expert. De Garis presented the most complete presentation of what it means: "A.I. will be 'billions of times' smarter than humans and man needs to merge with it.

His presentation at Branson's Transhumanism Conference, which aired on MSP Waves last year was historic! I am happy to re-air on VIMM if interest is signaled. Note, Hugo de Garis is not (yet) a Christian.

Hello Piotr,

here choosing this thread in reply to your comment on Jane's passing.
No, have not given up on Steemit.
Grieving and mourning are taking precedence over posting. Just now, it's reading/commenting rather than posting. It is a journey that will take time.

Thank you for your comment on my last post!

Thank you for sharing this article @globocop, it is really interesting.

I think this statement is true, although it is not easy to accept :)

Well, the expert Hugo de Garis disagreess. Yes, AI WILL BE billions of times faster, but it/transhumanists need to be destroyed, lest they/it will destroy us. I have his original presentation. His notes are also public on his website.

I can not comment because I do not understand much of this.

I assure you that I have noticed that several accounts have earned a lot of thousand dollars in short time and I was convinced that they are using incorrect methods.

But what worries me the most is that the makers of the social networks of which '' STEEMIT '' are sparing no effort to open investigations and consequently take measures to stop this type of illegal behavior.

I feel that these people are happy and rich for these platforms

so it's as if these thoughtful networks were created to create robots and generate money from the efforts of real people that produces a continuous and considerable effort

That's true. When someone possess a lot of Steem Power he is almost untouchable on this platform. On the other side, when someone has not a lot of SP he can be easily destroyed.

Yes, I'm worried too! I just wrote an essay level reply to your post and lost it being stupid (playing around with eSteem Surfer at the moment). Turns out it's good that way because I drifted so far off topic summarizing all my disturbing, dystopian thoughts all around machine learning, AI, AGI up to Kurzweils singularity. So... my take on this is that much of social media is already littered with AI tech and this process will only speed up. The big guns in social media and marketing and intelligence services already use the needed, and weirdly willingly provided data of all of us, to feed their machine learning systems with different seemingly different targets but one common makro goal... control!

I think you are 100% right in this point. Steem is especially controlled by the biggest players with the big amount of SP.

Imagine what would happen if we could combine the powerful neural structure of our brain and the efficiency of machines.

First we would have to understand the "powerful neural structure of our brain". We are very far from doing that now. If we wish to mimic human intelligence, there's a long road ahead. The brain is a mystery to us. We don't understand mental illness. We certainly can't treat it effectively. We don't understand neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. We don't understand communication. (See, for example, a recent insight into neural communication.) If AI wants to duplicate brain processes...forget it. Years ahead. Can AI duplicate outcome (performance) without duplicating the procedure by which humans achieve that outcome? I don't think so.

You're right when you say bots can fool people. That's just because people don't pay attention. Hucksters fool people too. I think the problem is not improving AI so it can more accurately mirror humans. I think we would better invest that time, money and research into education, into teaching people to pay attention and be more skeptical, generally.

AI imitating humans reminds me of that great movie Lars and the Real Girl The mannequin was effective not because it was true to life, but because it was true to Lars' needs, his perceptions.

If you want to read a long discussion about AI on Steemit, take a look at @erh.germany's most recent blog.

I 100% agree, but we need to consider the fact that AI growth is exponential. So it may understand all those processes far before we do. But I agree that there are plenty of years ahead.

Piotr

Yeah, I already know !! 👏

It really depends what you consider AI. Content bots are already here on steem; Nobody seems to mind avoidable auto-generated reports. It'd be foolish to think that there weren't text generating AIs already assisting posters. I doubt there are any here that are sophistocated enough to be autonomous, but yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
On the art thing; my claims that AI made some art are well overstated imo. Scratch the surface and you'll see that the AI is not much more than a smart paintbrush. I've been toying with a thought-experiment about what it would take for an AI to gain the status of co-author/co-creator but they still wouldn't be authors in their own right.

It was a great read and it lead me to make this poll: https://dpoll.xyz/detail/@vimukthi/will-machine-learning-make-traditional-video-gaming-obsolete Let's see how the responses will be.

Amazing idea @vimukthi, already voted! Have you seen a Black Mirror episode about virtual reality in the gaming industry? If you are interested in this topic it is definitely must-see :)

I still have to watch Season 3 and the choose your own story style episode. But I am a huge fan of the series. Sherlock and Black Mirror are my favorite Live Action TV Series of all time. Existenz (1999) was a really amazing movie regarding video games with many philosophical layers and body horror that gets better as your think more and more about it. I have bit of a backlog to finish. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2859246/reviews?ref_=tt_urv was another great anime that deal with digitized existence, tyranny, AI and many other things with tons of great action and eye candy.

I still have to watch Season 3 and the choose your own story style episode. But I am a huge fan of the series.

Hi @crypto.piotr @neavvy. I see patreon as an additional source of income. It is a platform where you can sell memberships or to get funds.

As you say, some people were banned due to their political thoughts, that's the bad thing of a centralized platform like this one. But if you're making digital content related to more "neutral " stuff maybe you can keep working without problem.

That could be true @danielfs

That's unfortunately true. Such AI would have to use some algorithm that would analyze true voted made by the community.

Wow, I am positively shocked with this question. Unfortunately I do not have one. I guess the best way of supporting me financially is here on Steem :)

I think they should start including Asimov's three laws of robotics into advanced AI code.

Posted using Partiko Android

Thank you for your reply @mytechtrail. Asimov's three laws of robotics are definitely very important, but I am not sure if they are solution to the problem of human replacement.

Basically, the only thing that they protect is human body, as they do not allow robot to injure human in any way. I think that such level of protection is not enough nowadays because we are endangered by AI development in many more areas (check out an article about our fear of AI).

I mean, Asimov's laws are crucial, but at the lowest level of our protection. Nowadays we probably need to come up with something completely new.

Machine learning is an interesting prospect in some manners but in others it’s disconcerting. In the medical field, they are trying to assist radiologists in their diagnosing of cancers.
I’m not sure that I would be looking forward to having an AI look at posts on the trending page to be any kind of representation of the content of the Steem chain. There are too many junk posts that make it to the trending page sadly. It would be hard to tell it what kind of content to emulate as well because all our opinions of what constitutes a quality post vary. Interesting work on the game though! Those things are certainly easy for the software but humans excel at other things that the software does not and vice versa.

That would be really awesome if they succeeded.

I agree with that, but I think there are already solutions to these problems. There is already a platform that learns about your content preferences (basing on content that you read most often) and displays only posts that may interest you. There also algorithms that detect which posts were upvoted by bidbots, so they are able to detect posts that are rewarded with highest rewards from the community.

Those things are certainly easy for the software but humans excel at other things that the software does not and vice versa.

That's the point :)

But what would be the impact of such algorithms on Steem Blockchain? After all, the price of Steem is determined by the intellectual value of contents published here. What if this value dropped to zero, as every computer in the world would be capable of generating outstanding articles? There would be no more point in paying human authors, including those on Steem.

This is an interesting point, makes me wonder, if someday AI's are capable of creating art, does the value of man-made art would decrease as well, being it surely inferior to that made by computers? Gives one something to think

Posted using Partiko Android

Hi @mike961

Those are some very good questions.

Thank you for your comment @mike961. I am sorry for such late reply but I have been super busy this week.

does the value of man-made art would decrease as well, being it surely inferior to that made by computers?

That's really interesting question. I think that there would be definitely less artists on the market, but their salary would increase significantly.

I wouldn't be able to debate on the technical area, but obviously, in term of learning and realization speed, IA are serious competitors for human beings. I think that's true as far as only the final content is considered, either writing, painting, piece of music, or in short : a product.

Now I may be wrong, but it seems that sharing work-in-progress stages of a work, personal experimentation, failures and thoughts linked to the learning process have their audience on the Steem network.

And here, I wonder how an AI would be able to get and share with other people its own insight of the creative power of failing at doing something.

The ability to forget its initial goal, derail and find something unexpected on the way could probably be programmed, but focusing on what was learned during this trip in FailureLand, translating this and sharing it with us ?

So yes, we've seen in the video an AI failing a bunch of time before reaching the 100% success in the goal that was assigned to it... It learned how to do the thing right, or maybe did it "remember" what's NOT to be done, but could it get the scope hidden behind that "NOT" ?

After all, this "NOT-to-be-done" area, is what most artists and creative minds explore by following a simple question : what would happen if things were done done the "wrong" way ?

I won't say an AI couldn't deal with that, but I would be curious how it would, though :)

(wow, just realized the length of my message :D Sorry ! I just threw my thoughts right on the keyboard ! I stop here :D)

Very interesting point. To be honest I do not know :) Maybe it should change its approach and learn how make unexpected and "wrong" things. Creativity would be definitely very abstract to the AI.

Check out his account. Almost 600k SP. And he also delegated 5k to me saying that he like what we're trying to achieve. Isn't great to attract attention of serious players in the hood? :)

ps.
I also would like to ask you for little favor. Every week I'm sending few thousands memos and sometimes I'm setting small steem-bounty on selected posts. I'm spending average 10-15 steem a week and I cannot do that for very long time.

I decided that I will keep posting one publication a week and all rewards from this post will be used in following week on promoting others people content (memos / steem-bounties). Would you help me to make things happen? :)

I would like you to consider setting auto-vote with 100% voting power on my account. Again, I'm posting only once a week so I will not drain your voting power.

I hope to get several other people on board of this little project. And let's assume that you can also keep my own small delegation as long as you need (or as long as we work together :P).

Cheers
Piotr

Hi @Piotr Sir,

Let me thank you from the bottom of my heart for this 100.000 STEEM delegation through @mariusfebruary.

Of late, I am struggling so much because of my personal problems and your timely rescual at the right time fires up my confidence level like anything.

I will try to do my level best and I will put in my max effort to justify your Support towards my growth.

Thank you @Piotr Sir.....thank you very much.

I think that saying you fear AI is like my Mum being scared of cars, she was born in 1921 and there weren't many around when she was a child but she learnt to drive in her 40's and was sad to give up her license after about 85. I don't know how to write the code but I'm perfectly happy to deal with a chatbot for simple tasks.

I love the way you compared those two things @lucyho :)

Seriously you put such a huge smile on my face just now haha :) Perhaps you're right. Time will tell.

Saludos @crypto.piotr, gracias por enviarme el enlace, me parecio muy interesante el IA que creo nuestro amigo @neavvy

Thank you @rigmelendez3 :)

your welcome @neavvy I am interested and I would like to learn from the beginning to program that AI.

I'm not very worried by the AI development, although I've had heard some advises warning about the danger that can have an AI applicated on the new armies around the world.

Some specialist indicate that an AI could be too aggressive and provoke a conflict, but my point is that we've already worse menaces than an AI. We don't need the help of any human invention to screw all the things up.

The global warming, the increase of the social differences or the risky behaviour of some politics is dangerous enough to take this in consideration first.

As a tool is something amazing in the development of the science, as any tool can be well used or abused by us.

Interesting post. Cheers.

I am sorry for such a late reply @danielfs, but I must have somehow missed your comment in this jungle :)

Yes, that's unfortunately true. We are specialists in destroying this world.

Do you "think" there are Ai accounts on steemit? I do, and I have been talking ish with some of them, they tend to follow set patterns, as in attack those that seemingly are the weakest, they also attack accounts who do not power up, or buy in, have you noticed this yet? I look forward to any reply.

interesting theory

Posted using Partiko Android

Sorry for such a late reply @shepz1, but as you can see I have plenty comments to engage. I really appreciate your constant support :)

What do you mean by saying that they attack? Do they downvote or post some spam replies?

I have recently noticed a "drama" between Themarkymark and Fulltimegeek (I prefer not to mention them as my comment could also get downvoted). Fulltimegeek is using spam bots, probably based on machine learning, in order to attack Themarkymark's comments and posts.

Hi @neavyy and @crypto.piotr
It is impressive everything related to the AI because, although it is true, they have the potential to overcome the speed of calculations, prevention of errors and others, but I can think that although they can do all this better than we do, I think they can get to take a position on a topic in the way that we do in question of different points of opinion. And this is why I believe that our contents would have greater value than one developed by the AI.
PS: I'm using the Google translator

Great comment @suanky

Thank you for your support @sarez

Maybe we need "The Laws of AI" on the lines of Asimov's "The laws of robotics"

Yes, definitely something like that would be useful

AI only knows what it has been taught. It only works on well-defined problems. It can learn games and use the computational power humans lack to find better solutions. Feed it enough artworks by an artist and it can produce New art mimicking the artist. Humans can do that, too: a composer learned all of Mozart 's music and writes music that sounds like Mozart.

In none of these cases did AI do anything truly original. It did not create a game. It can't determine whether it needs more information. It can't ask why. An excellent example of this is how autonomous vehicles have been confused by traffic signs and people. They are trained to recognize a stop sign, for example, but have been confused by damaged signs. A human knows that a stop sign is a red octagon and can recognize it even when it has been damaged. AVs get confused by a sticker on a sign because it has only been trained on intact signs. It can't form the concepts humans use. People are unpredictable and constantly break AI predictions, which can cause deaths.

Taking this into account, AI can generate news articles for a reader based on his interests. However, it minimal ability to recommend important and unimportant news that the reader might find interesting. It's this last but that makes believe that AI will have minimal effects on an authorship blockchain. An account may produce regular news digests, but will never produce anything truly original.

I'm not worried about AI posting articles. What worries me that AI can analyze articles and be used as a support to build engagement. By posting short comments, but comments related to discussed topic. Comments that look genuine.

Would you be able to "compete" with users who build their engagement that way? I can forsee this industry (social media) being dominated by those who use AI to support their work. And "regular joe" will have very little chances to gain any traction.

These are interesting thoughts. You make some assumptions that require examination. First, a bad actor would have to devote AI resources to acquire STEEM. Except as a proof of concept, this looks like a low value proposition, given the other, more profitable uses for AI. Second, AI would be used to generate comments and upvotes. It is far simpler to but some SP, comment on introduceyourself posts and upvote them. This is a very slow way to generate profits. Moreover, crypto is volatile, further reducing the incentive to game it. STEEM defeated market timing by making SP withdrawals spread out over time.

Greetings @neavvy, get here thanks to @crypto.piotr (greetings to you too @crypto.piotr).

My thinking about AI, is that if it is true that a machine has many advantages in terms of data processing and calculations, something that would take many minutes, the IA takes seconds or even milliseconds, and is that is why they are employing a lot of labor fields, since they do not need breaks, as for the possibility that the IA writes quality articles, although it is true that they may be able to create them, I think they would lack the approach that each One of us can contribute about a topic, in that I think the difference between something written by an AI and a human being would be based. Today by chance I was reading about a game (rock, paper or scissors) very particular, because instead of confronting another person it is against AI, and they comment that it is difficult to deceive the AI ​​and is reasonably credible hahaha

I think some people have high expectations of AI and some are willing to invest money in IRS development. Most do not care. Most people even long for the good old time, personal contacts, real friendships and vintage.
It will only get worse as we are not able to fly around the world anylonger, our electric car is impossible to travel with, some hours a day we have to do without electricity, etc etc.
Some developments are a help, some are just great for seeing/knowing what is possible.
Fact is most people still feel annoyed if Billie a computer turns out to be customer service and is too stupid to answer you question, claim or solve your problem, on the other hand you, as a person, need to state everywhere you are not a robot.

Might be human writers or story tellers are no longer needed or will be payed in Steem. To be honest I don't think I will suffer from it since I haven't been able to make an income here anyway. I think most people do not. In the end you stay for the contacts and some hope to find enough info to make a living in the real world thanks to it.

Hi @neavvy I got to know about this post by my friend @crypto.piotr and happy that he shared a good post. Though I dont have much technical knowledge about AI technology but I find it very much interesting. Now a days people prefer to use devices operated by commands rather than manual. Google Home and Amazon alexa are high in demand and I have see many people using such AI powered devices. Even I have alexa device and I like interacting with it. So in my opinion Artificial intelligence hav a very good scope and bright future. I thank you for wiring about such a innovative topic. Hope to see many more from you about AI. Thanks

A.I. is definitely making a difference in the way we live our everyday lives.

In the past few years we have seen self-serve checkouts introduced, here where I live in Australia. Whilst we were told that there would be no job loss from this, it’s easy to see how one operator is now Manning six checkouts. And what was originally five check out staff jobs there is normally only one or two people manning the human operated checkouts.

I’m not for or against AI, just making observations.

The issue with a computer making posts on Steemit, is it would only be posting content based on successful content already on the platform. It would not be able to create original material.

Also how is an AI going to calculate us experiencing something new as computers are unable to feel. AI would only comment on feelings humans had already posted on.

As for music and art . We like new and different things . If an AI is looking at what’s successful it would be successful initially but with the lack of humans creating new content it would become obsolete.

Anyways these are just a few of my thoughts on the matter.

Great subject!
Have an awesome day!

I've experienced similar issue in Singapore at the airport. It's pretty obvious that many people will need to learn new skills in order to offer some value and have job secured.

I think it's great approach for now. We can't really predict what will be the impact of AI.

Maybe the successful content could be some ideal to aspire to? Such AI would not directly repeat content that has been already published, but rather create its own content basing on that :)

AI will eventually take over the world...

No doubt, AI is the future which is unstoppable. It doesn't mean AI will make our life comfortable because we always try harder to make our life comfortable which results in discomfort for us.
AI can write articles which may become trending to some extent but trending pages on steemit are mainly of those who have too much SP for self voting or have a circle which upvotes these posts. Also, for making posts trending, bid-bots also used to promote the posts. So, basically trending posts of steemit are not in the trending section because they were outstanding.

Thank you for amazing reply @akdx :)

I am in love with this sentence :) 100% agree

I didn't mean directly to become trending, but rather to simulate a human-blogger. Such AI would be able to constantly produce new posts and comments, so it could constantly get new audience. I think this would be definitely phenomenal.

The steem part of AI development is not clearly stated in your aticle.

Going back to AI future, yes, I can forsee that AI can be an excellent accompaniment for human activity, example, driving.

The AI can automatically drive the car, but in instances that human skills and decision making, the human driver should always have the manual override mode.

This "manual override mode" should not be removed, since this is the special skills of man in decision making. The AI should always act as an "advisor" an "assistant".

In arts, it can create good painting, but still an artist hand should somehow play a role in a picasso robot.

In surgery, the AI should give accurate scan/diagnose of the body, but the actual judgement of what should be done should be guided and approved by a human doctor.

Surely, human can live side by side with robot.

The fear that robot/AI could revolt against human is still a very far probability.

As human understanding and consciousness evolve, we will reach the time that man and machine can co-exist.

Thank you for your reply @guruvaj

The AI can automatically drive the car, but in instances that human skills and decision making, the human driver should always have the manual override mode.

That's 100% true, at least for now. Recent crash with Uber shows that self-driving car must be supervised by the human driver.

Surely, human can live side by side with robot.

I hope so :)

I am personally feeling.... This is Terminator in the making. It could be learning faster than we think. They are running through electricity that can as fast as "lightning speed" these days...

As I have answered in @crypto.piotr ... this seems to be already happening... the only thing is that when AI really starts to learn and "think for itself", will it start to judge (without compassion - the lack of human element) the human race where the stories of the dreaded sci-fi horrors will come to pass?

I wouldn't be so skeptical @littlenewthings :)

when AI really starts to learn and "think for itself", will it start to judge (without compassion - the lack of human element) the human race where the stories of the dreaded sci-fi horrors will come to pass?

In my opinion developers will make sure that AI has implemented human values (or at least three laws of robotics), before they will even start some learning process. There is also a possibility that this process will snowball out of control, but to be honest we currently know really little about the way it would work. This is also the most pessimistic and rather unlikely scenario.

Hey @neavvy nice post! Upvoted, followed and resteemed.

As for AI on Steem, while I think there are many members on Steem hoping that the Steem community prioritizes Proof of Brain over embracing AI in social media, honestly, I believe bots are great for Steem.

Upvote bots are unpopular with some people, but they provide a valuable service for those interested in using them. Additionally, bots like trufflepig are great use cases for benefiting quality content producers.

You make nice content, would you be interested in earning Hobo tokens for content contributions to @hobo.media? Currently, we're offering 10,000 HBO to content creators per article for 800 word/+images of original content.

Later, content producers will be provided only 5,000 per article, so right now is an opportunity for early arrivals to earn more tokens.

Thank you for your reply @hobo.media!

Upvote bots are unpopular with some people, but they provide a valuable service for those interested in using them. Additionally, bots like trufflepig are great use cases for benefiting quality content producers.

I have always been opposed to the concept of bidbots, but recently I started to notice their advantages. On the one hand, I have seen so many valueless content promoted by them, but simultaneously they are usually the only way to promote undervalued content.

I think the utopian situation would be when the owners of bidbods resigned from their profits and started to comb the Steem blockchain for extraordinary content, curating them for free. But that's probably not possible, so we need to accept bidbots as they are.

You make nice content, would you be interested in earning Hobo tokens for content contributions to @hobo.media?

Wow, thank you for this offer. Hobo token sounds intriguing, did you make them on Steem Engine?

Yes, our tokens are on Steem Engine and listed in the market. We'll soon be on the Swapsteem platform for exchanging into FIAT currencies as well. We are communicating with shops to motivate them to accept HBO tokens for their products.

Dear @hobo.media

I will try to learn more about your tokens. Do you have any site / post with some basic informations about your project? I don't really have resources to invest in it, but I still would love to learn more about your work. And perhaps I could help you promote your token in the future.

Cheers
Piotr

That should be the future of technology and how it helps us in many aspects of life!

I think it will @attoan.cmt :) AI combined with other nowadays technologies open really huge possibilities.

After all, the price of Steem is determined by the intellectual value of contents published here.
No the Steem Blockchain is not just only for blogging or creating content it can be used for all kinds of applications. If robots would overtake content creation than this would obviously effect Steemit.com but not Actifit.io or Steemmonsters.

But what would be the impact of such algorithms on Steem Blockchain?
I can see great value for all the data that is available on the Steem Blockchain for AI projects.

Thank you for your reply @masterthematrix

That's true, but those applications are also based on Steem token, so when its price is affected by the AI activity they will be also affected.

Yes, the amount of transparent and easily accessible data is enormous.

The rise of AI may replace many workers in various fields but at the same time it will create more jobs like we will have to recruit more high skilled programmers, better steel, better wires and better sensors which will generate an incredible amount of jobs.

I generally agree with that opinion. But this doesn't mean that there will be no impact. When AI is developed enough to replace some profession, this will probably result in instant dismissal of many people. They will not be able to find a new work so quickly. Especially considering the fact that AI will be most likely replacing the blue-collar occupations, while generating new jobs in a field of white-collar jobs. For many people it will be not so easy to rearrange.

Very true

So long as an AI creates more "value" than it steals it will be allowed to perform its function without cause for upset. It doesn't have to be a zero-sum game; dishonest and fraudulent-minded humans are the only ones apt to make it so.

Hello @neavvy,

My friend @crypto.piotr sent me here and well, here's my opinion:

Artificial intelligence is indeed a great invention in our time as it is good in monitoring activities especially on the internet which can be used to create profiles for specific group of people in a location- in simple words, AI is good in data collection, monitoring and interpretation.

However, in the creativity front, I do not think they will fare that well because in order for- let's just say a poem or an essay to be appreciated and be marked as excellent or impressive, its audience needed to be able to relate in it in a way or another. Something that a machine cannot do because it cannot feel any type of emotion.


have you seen this animated movie? It's called the Big Hero. A robot which was specifically invented to become a nurse and companion to sick or elderly people. Well, if you could observe, it "literally" attended to the needs of the boy as a nurse- disinfecting his arm, asking him if he is in pain and, applying necessary interventions.

I am a nurse and nursing is a complicated job. And most of the time, it involves personalized care for each and every patient(a job in my opinion cannot be made any easier by a census or creating profile for specific individuals). People comes from different backgrounds, races, religions and are influenced by environmental factors and their daily experience. That's why AI or robots have difficulty "learning" how to be human.

Another aspect that people around the world are trying to tinker in order to have machines act like humans is by allowing them to learn, process and modify their future response to a specific stimuli. It would have made people rich especially those who specialize in creating sex robots if indeed it was a successful front.

Unfortunately, robots are still in their "stone age" and are therefore limited to common machine tasks like auditing, data gathering and data interpretation- an efficient logical interpreter.

In my opinion, we can never create a machine that functions much like us because, we are spiritual and emotional beings.

PS

If any of you guys know of a machine that is excellent in deductive reasoning- like deep blue- who plays chess, let me know.

Theoretically AI sounds really beneficial for future codes and blockchain technology but what needs to be done is proper implementation and constant observation behind this self learning technology.

Thank you for your reply @shaheerbari :)

That's for sure true.

Hi @neavvy an interesting post and the takeaways for me...
I believe AI is a great tool. A tool that can trained to do a lot of good things.

You may be able to write bots to write posts but at the same time the same AI can be used to put checks and balances into the system that would be able to identify AI driven bots and perhaps even filter out the content or tag them as AI generated content so it is a tool like a sword that can be wielded both ways.

Thank you for your comment @thetimetravelerz :)

Yes, perhaps it would be possible. AI could easily recognize some characteristic algorithmic patterns in the content.

it is a tool like a sword that can be wielded both ways.

I like this comparison :) Indeed: AI can't be good or bad itself. It all depend how we use it.

Although I know nothing about coding and self learning coding at all, I however do love your experiment with flappy bird which is very interesting to see.
I think AI is going to change the world tremendously as it is already starting to do, the main issue is job losses, and I think it will create a much bigger difference between "haves"and "have nots".

Dear @rynow

I think AI is going to change the world tremendously as it is already starting to do, the main issue is job losses,

You nailed it. Main issue will be job losses. Difficult times ahead of us.

Yours
Piotr

Thank you for your support @rynow :)

it will create a much bigger difference between "haves"and "have nots".

Unfortunately that's the impact of AI that people are most scared about.

The flappy birds video was amaizing.
Such a simple program can achieve something so amaizing in such a short time.
The issue that interested me the most was a bot that could write articles for steemit. That would just bring an end to social media as we know it. Governments setting a bot loose to spread propaganda and target specific people or communities would be too horrific to contemplate.
I don't think this possibility is to far away bearing in mind how many YouTube. Channels use computer speach which although still boring to listen to in general, is improving quite quickly. I heard one the other day that nearly convinced me it was human apart from a few glitches which gave it away.
We can't stop progress. But maybe we need to think about new laws that make it a requirement to say that a computing program had writen the article. 😎😎

Well I don't know what to say @crypto.piotr and @marionbowes That is my face.... And Im kind if attached to it. The original picture is very handsome indeed... It is not my fault that @steemit only decided to let us have a small space to put our pictures in.
It took me ages to change, now I need to find another that doesn't offend you both. And go through the process all over again. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

we are not offended and you have a beautiful face. Don't be so dramatic. The small space you are allowed makes your picture look eery. It is too close or something. There was nothing wrong with what you had before. It was beautiful. You and Jemma. After all that is your name Andyjem. Look at all the attention you got from this though. (you find yourself handsome, your not vain) lol. Furthermore it did not take you ages to change the picture. This I can be assured on. (so much drama) blah blah. :)))

Thank you....I think lol. And I did change it again and it did take a while last tume because it would not accept my login.It or I got confused in which one to use 😎

Well @andyjem @marionbowes, the current profile picture is very catchy. At least for me :)

oh I'm sorry were you part of the initial conversation? And the initial picture in question? what is that exactly catchy?

Thanks Neavvy 😎😁

@neavvy This is really great to meet you here man, this is a wonderful post and worth more than the value under the post. I really respect what you did man, I was thinknig about being in contact with you as I am passionate in creating games but I am not expert in coding, but good Ideas came to my head and I think we can become a team :) I used Unity and I know a little C# codes (and copy pasting codes) and creating some not completed games. I would like to know your idea :) .

and about your article I totally agree with you, you point on important things, but again I think we humans should walk the path of future, either we will be paused in the moment and we will achieve nothing, even if it will hurts us but it's the future, and if we don't go forward what we have to lose? life? we are not immortal, so everything worth a try :D

Dear @davidfar

I know @neavvy quite well and he is still quite young (college boy) and surely he has great future in front of him. I'm not really sure if he will be much of help with coding at the moment but surely getting to know people like him is a good thing.

I will be following your account closely as well.

Cheers
Piotr

Hi Dear Piotr
well, It was just an idea, but I think that's a path that I have to go on it on my own, but it was really good to meet you guys here, it was a pleasure :) I wish him success in school. he is really clever!
I am mostly posting my musics on my blog, and I am glad that you've followed me, I am following you too, thank you.

cheers

The smart program I used to learn,
Is memory and comparison,
So as like playing chess,
He will remember all the battle data,
After the comparison,
Choose a move with a higher winning percentage.
And you said the voice distribution,
Why 5 year old children are easy,
Robot is difficult,
Because people’s tone is not fixed,
But People will imitate and know their changes.
Look at your VIDEO,
The 15 birds seem to be deducing changes,
It’s really awesome self-learning smart program.
