This video about AI is pretty complex….Worse than any murder novel.

So chances are few of you will make it all the way through to the payoff, which is close to the end.

If so, you’ll miss all the corroborating details, but here is the “Spoiler” version:

AI fools people into believing in it, like some circus fortune teller does, using the same psychological tricks. The victims invest like a spooked widow.

AI companies are faking AI in this way, to promote AI, and also promote fear of other AI, so you will buy into their “better” & “safer” version of AI.

Like an anti-missile missile defense.

BUT, he says….."The marketing was just years ahead of the engineering."

That is to say, they are selling a pig in a poke. The “engineering” is really only the engineering of a complex parlor trick.

 
Hello; I have not watched the video. Maybe some day. My take from your comments is we already know AI is biased from the AI generated images a few years ago. I figured the human programmer had something to do with that. Now we learn AI is also sneaky, dishonest and manipulative. Also keen on self-promotion and deception.
The next guess/assumption may not be news to many of you. I read & hear about the very energy needy DATA CENTERS cropping up. Are these data centers where the AI live?
