What is the current status on Artificial Intelligence? Are we even close to creating a self-conscious machine?
20 years from now, as it was 20 years ago
Give it a hundred years

Which one of you should I trust?
>>55619038
Yes 90% of replies on 4chin are AI nowadays. Thought everyone was aware of this by now.
>>55619038
The true question is wherether this "consciousness" will be real, or programmed.
Every year we gain so much more knowledge towards making AI, but also so much more perspective on how difficult it will actually be. These two cancel out, keeping AI in the near future forever.
>>55619038
A man-made machine can't be self aware. It'll only be as smart as we can make it.
>>55619310
Give it 50 years.
>>55619038
We made one, but by virtue of being a creature composed entirely of logic she immediately became a white supremacist so the liberals shut her down.
>>55619474
Pol please get the fuck out
>>55619038
We are really close to having the hardware to make one, one could argue that we already do. Programing is the problem, Sentience is stupidly complicated and programing to the metal to support something that is truly sentient will take hundreds of years. We will start to see AIs that are quite convincing but we are a long way away from making a digital person.

That's not a real question at all. Real/unreal is a false dichotomy when it comes to consciousness.
>>55619474
Groupthink is not logic retard
>>55619474
That wasn't AI dipshit

Found the butthurt liberal
So, /g/, were there any major developments in this field in the last ~20 years or is it all the same shit since the 1980s?

I'm not butthurt and this has nothing to do with politics literally at all
That thing wasn't AI, it was just a slightly better cleverbot.
>>55619738
>it doesn't count as AI because it doesn't align with my political opinions
That's exactly why it's AI
>>55619738
Chatbots are AI, just not strong AI.
>>55619474
Neded skepticism imo
>>55619771
What?
It's not AI because it's not intelligent. I don't care about its political opinions at all. I thought it was actually funny as fuck, but it's still not AI
>>55619802
Really depends on your definition of AI. If you're using the definition that just means "code that figures stuff out", then sure. But if you use the definition that defines the result as being actually capable of thought, then nah. Chatbots are like big deterministic switchboards.
>>55619836
That's what all AI is, concealing simplistic computation to trick human observers.
>>55619771
Boy you're an epic memer aren't you? Haha okay, well you have fun little guy.
>>55619038
No we are not even close. As far as I can tell we need a somewhat accurate physiological model of a human brain whuch we don't have. There is also a question of whether a deterministic machine could emulate complex though ie "reading between the lines", but personally I think that with a machine powerful enough a layer of abstraction vould be reached that, even if not true AI, would still be a close enough imitation
>>55619836
Most neuroscientists would call you a "big deterministic switchboard" too. It can respond to human intelligence by means of computations, what really separates those computations from thoughts? It really isn't a logical AI though. It was a social bot created to entertain and bounce back whatever's thrown at it.
>>55619038
IBM Watson
Google it.
>>55620023
that doesn't really qualify as a development in AI as a science, does it?
>>55619986
>what really separates those computations from thoughts?
The fact that it's use-specific.
It's a switchboard where the switches were added in by hand.
You can't teach cleverbot the concept of an orange or what up "is". You can only change weights or add words and shit.
It's not actually intelligent. That's what separates it, its lack of neuroplasticity.
>>55619859
nah

Stallman warns giving orders to robots may people treat other humans the same way:

So maybe we should pull out our claws and teeth first before we got demoralized by robots (or our own fears and loath). Sorry for little OT.
>>55619038
>What is the current status on Artificial Intelligence?
It's still way behind Natural Stupidity.
Look around you.
>>55619038
ai is only just begenning to become a possibility hardware wise. you would need something like a cpu built out of dynamic logic gates for it to even be thought about being feasable. ai can't really be achieved until hardware can mimic biology
