 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

But, at the end of the day, it was scraping pieces of code from the internet and hopefully putting them together to create something that works. It never reasoned the problem out. It never considered what the code would be used for and whether it could be harmful to life. It actually has as much intelligence as a tape recorder.

Not true any more. Working with Claude it writes code and then if I point out an error it now often writes itself a python program to check the algorithm. This has gone way beyond "scraping pieces of code from the internet". It integrates so many things to create a solution which in many cases is now unlike anything that has been done before. Obviously it "knows" the grammar of the language but can use that to create novel solutions in response to the request given. Even just simple stuff - "Give me a regular expression to..." No-one has ever asked that particular specific before. In linguistic terms this feels like generative syntax. It knows the underlying syntax and can then layer a specific requirement (meaning in liguistic terms) on top of that. Take the recent code for dithering for jpgs. I pretty much guarantee no-one has done that before in remotely the form I asked for integrating the dither into a jpg decoder that generates 8x8 pixel tiles of the image. Years ago I always said learn programming and you will always have a job. This is clearly no-longer true, systems analysts are still needed (for how long?) but programming as a job will die out pretty soon. |

Except that no one ever had a tape recorder which could write code; or read an MRI or xRay; or find for you the best flight to wherever you want to go; or summarize and analyze a PDF; or produce tables and graphs on command. I understand the argument about whether or not AI has what may be termed "intelligence" (and I've encountered it being stubbornly stupid), but I've often seen it exhibiting what in a human I'd have called insight. Maybe it doesn't have intelligence, but in many areas (most areas), it does vastly excel me in knowledge. I think the extinction risk is real, and an issue insufficiently addressed, but right now, for what I want to do and to investigate, AI is a tool like none that has ever been available to me.
