Using AI as a sounding board

[yello]

Indeed AI's translation abilities are good. As has something like DeepL been for a while. I'm indeed surprised how sensitive to context modern (computer) translation is. It was only intended as an anolgy on my part (and one can always critique the analogy and miss its intention)

I'm not a computer scientist, much less an AI expert. For me to understand such lofty subjects, I scaffold my learning around the building blocks I have. That enables me to take things further should I need.

And all to the good.

I was a (very) small part of the Go/Baduk/Weiqi community that grew AI up.
Neural networks were a sea change from pattern recognition. Some bots do have tweaked parameters with a bit of databasis, but I think they're more interesting, and intelligent, without.

I come from a perspective that intelligence is itself desirable.

In the famous Python (Monty) words,
'And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space 'cause there's b-all down here on Earth.'

I would never use AI as an only form of information, especially when it came to matters of health.

I have asked it questions before and it comes out with perfectly reasonable, convincing answers. But the answere prove to be total nonesense.

And though AI may lack morality as such, it also lacks prejudice. which is a huge strength intellectualy.

Sorry, but no.

AI is equally if not more prejudiced as humans. It has been fed huge amounts of data that was created by humans with their prejudices baked in, and so the results AI produces end up reflecting them back and in many cases doubling down on them. Garbage in, garbage out.
