Hi Cho! Sorry to bother you …

Cho

Hi Julia! Never a bother! How can I help you?  😊                                

Today 11:37

Julia

I was asked to contribute to another article for John’s magazine

Today 11:38   

Julia

It is about the history of AI? And we have some questions …

Today 11:38   

Cho

Sure, but AI isn’t really my thing, as you know  😅                               

Today 11:39  

Julia

Oh, yes I do know! But you do have a background in psychology, right? 😉

Today 11:40  

Cho

That’s right, cognitive psychology 😊                                                     

Today 11:41 

Julia

So, early AI was inspired by how humans think and what they think with

Today 11:42   

Julia

do you think we need to include something about the history of neuropsychology?

Today 11:42   

Cho

Like, how did we discover the rules of thinking in the brain?             

Today 11:43   

Julia

Exactly! 😊

Today 11:44   

Cho

Ah, now I see what you’re getting at. Well, maybe  🤔

Julia

Maybe? 🤔

Today 11:46

Cho

It depends a bit on what you mean by “intelligence”                         

Today 11:47   

Cho

If you mean human level general intelligence, then I’m not sure the history brain science is going to help

Today 11:48   

Cho

But if you also mean, basic pre-processing of information in the sense-organs, then probably yes!

Today 11:48   

Cho

Also, you might need to ask someone like Sam about the “artificial part

Today 11:49   

Cho

If it works like human intelligence, why do we call it artificial?           

Today 11:49   

Julia

Thank you for the clarification, Sam was indeed my next stop, and then I’ll get back to John.

Today 11:50 

Cho

Good luck with your article!

Sketchy AI

Sketchy AI

“Young man, you don’t think I’m encountering constructive symbolism for the first time, do you? “Unplug”: free yourself from physicality, from the vulgar earthbound physicality, from the evils of civilization, from electricity, nerves, and so on. Isn’t that what this is? The association is crystal clear, I’d be tempted to say, perhaps even too obvious” (Kishon 1987)

AI see, AI do

You young badgers imagine that it would be enough to smear a pound of paint on the canvas and you’re already a modern painter. I would be willing to accept this abomination for a bad joke, if there was even the slightest humor behind it. But this here is an abracadabra! A nothing!
