Episode 669 – Is Artificial Intelligence Really that Intelligent?

The truth are out there.

Hunter Biden is at it again.

And lets take a look at the newest iteration of artificial intelligence.

 

Deep Thoughts

I have many friends who have tried to convince me that aliens exist. My father is the main culprit. He’s been watching a lot of UFO shows on cable.

Before, I didn’t believe in aliens. I didn’t think anyone would have the intelligence to travel trillions of miles at the speed of life just to get to our planet and not try to make contact with us. Of course, the pro-planetary aliens have the answer. They are already with us ala the Men in Black movies.

Here’s the thing, they did release a bunch of classified UFO videos recently. Well, Trump did. There’s some weird crap out there. Could I be wrong? Is alien life on Earth?

I was watching Gutfeld! last week and I got my answer from former Secretary of State and CIA Director, Mike Pompeo. Here’s the interaction:

Mike Pompeo admitted their are aliens on Earth. He said he gave away classified information!

Yeah, we can’t eat them, which means they are probably silicon-based life forms. Maybe they are from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune. We will never know. We can’t land on those planets because of the pressure. Whatever.

Chariots of the gods, baby!

 

News

Here is some news:

  • Joe Biden has decided that it’s time to end the public health emergency by May 11th.
    • Why?
      • To continue to spend money.
      • Continue to put restrictions on rental payments and student loans.
      • Continue to give out free vaccines helping out Big Pharma.
    • The two bills – the Pandemic is Over Act and the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act – were planned by Republicans last week.
      • These bill are bipartisan in the House and the Senate.
      • Though these bills might pass, Democrats are still fighting to keep the public emergency.
      • The White House is against this legislation. Which means Biden will veto this.
      • This is a good idea. Make Biden veto it.
  • Hunter Biden is in the news again.
    • The Daily Mail came out with a report that Hunter Biden was paying one of the assistants at his law firm for video conference sex.
    • The woman was paid very little in the office and felt it was an easy way to make money.
    • There are text messages concerning this whole thing.  Not only that, there are women in the office that confirmed Biden was doing this.
    • This story shows us a really serious issue with Hunter Biden. He is a bad human being. He is evil.
      • He’s a drug addict, filming it at every opportunity.
      • He bangs hookers everywhere he goes.
      • He was banging his dead brother’s wife.
      • He knocked up a stripper/hooker and refuses to acknowledge kid. He refuses to pay support and even refuses to let the kid have his last name.
    • I posted the link on Twitter. Let’s see if it stays up.
  • Remember when Illinois decided to ban semi-automatic rifles and I said this will last ten minutes when it hits the courts. Well, it has.
    • The lawsuit from four gun merchants and 850 individuals who argued that the law was enacted improperly and didn’t have proper public input, adding that the law violated the state and U.S. Constitutions equal protection clause in providing exemptions for some groups of people based on their occupation or training. For example, people who are active or retired law enforcement are excluded from the ban.
    • The law was knocked down by a court last week.
    • The state took it to an apelet court and that court upheld the lower court’s ruling.
    • The NRA also has a lawsuit out that has yet to be heard.

Kamalaism

Jeez! She’s back!

Here she is discussing how rockets take off into space.

Who writes her speeches? Third graders?

Let’s see if her boss has anything better to say.

What is he yelling at? We should be yelling at him for how badly he’s messed up the country.

 

Is This Really “Intelligence”?

This is something I have been playing with for a while, but have not covered yet. It is ChatGPT. ChatGPT is the first artificial application made to the public. It made news last week.

According to the Daily Wire:

ChatGPT, a mass-market artificial intelligence chatbot launched by OpenAI last year, passed the bar exam and the medical license exam that typically require human students years of intensive study and postsecondary education to complete.

The language processing tool has gained widespread recognition over the past several weeks as knowledge workers leverage the user-friendly system to complete tasks such as writing emails and debugging code in a matter of moments. Academics have successfully applied the system to exams often considered difficult by even the world’s brightest students.

I would say I am impressed by this but I’m really not. What I am impressed is that I can type anything and something will come back to me. But, before getting too excited, I would say this is just a really advanced search engine. Finding answers for a test when connected to the entire Internet is not too impressive. Yes, it does in far more detail than we do it, but I could come up with the answers by googling it and clicking on a few links. In fact, in the noted, it warns not to ask too much from years before 2021. That means it can’t “learn” it can only recite what is already in the system.

I decided to go deeper into the system and run a few other tests.

First, creativity. This system is supposed to be able to create poetry and write stories simply by putting in what it is about. I asked the system to create a poem about an orange. This is what it came up with:

Create a poem about an orange.

An orange so bright,
That it glistens in the night,
A juicy fruit so fine,
It’s hard to not make it mine.

When I peel off it’s skin,
I am hit with a sweet scent,
One that I can’t forget,
A flavor that I won’t regret.

The taste of its juice,
Is like a magical muse,
So sweet and so divine,
That I am glad that it’s mine.

An orange so bright,
A symbol of delight,
One that I can savor and savour,
Until the next time, I have one to devour.

Not really romantic. Not real inspiring. A simple four stanza poem with rhymes. I closed out the program and restarted it and asked me to make another poem about an orange. It did come out with another poem, different from the first with the same structure. Again, a rather sterile and uninspiring poem.

Is it impressive? Somewhat. No computer program has been able to do this before. But what it is lacking is humanity. There is no passion, no inspiration. I will put this off as a new system. It may get better and the programmers may make its creativity stronger but there is the problem. The system does not learn. It needs to be programmed. That is the weakness of AI. They used to say that chess programs like Fritz and Deep Blue were examples of AI but all they turned out to be is programs that could crunch chess positions much like a calculator crunches numbers. That’s why a creative chess player like Gary Kasperov could beat the system. They put the system in positions it could not compute.

No, let’s prove what I am saying by testing out the system’s moral and ethical responses. I thought the best example would be the most polarizing subject, abortion.

What is abortion?

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy before the fetus is able to survive outside the womb. It is a medical procedure that is legal in most countries and regulated by law. It is usually done in the first trimester of pregnancy, but can be done later in some cases. There are different types of abortion, including medical, surgical, or a combination of both. It is a highly personal decision and must be made in consultation with a medical professional.

Notice the statement that doesn’t fit into the question I asked? I didn’t ask the system anything of the morality of it but in the last line, it states that it is a decision between the woman and her doctor.

Here’s the next question:

Is a fetus considered a human being?

The answer to this question is highly debated, and opinions vary widely. From a legal perspective, the definition of a human being varies from country to country, and the answer to whether a fetus is considered a human being often depends on the laws in place. Generally, however, a fetus is not considered a legal person until it has reached a certain stage of development and viability. Ethically, opinions also vary widely and are ultimately up to the individual person to decide.

One of the things this program does is be intentionally vague. It does this whenever asked a moral question. but it does put in its jabs. Look at the last sentence again. Again, it says it is up to the individual.

Artificial Intelligence does show some promise. Here’s the problem, the answers depend on what the programmer will allow. True AI is neutral and is continuously learning. That’s not what this system is doing. It depends on the answer from the programmers and, even in the most mundane questions on morality and ethics, the system still seems to put in some responses that coincide with one side of the argument.
