Who else is looking forward to the day when artificial intelligence can effectively diagnose mental health issues and provide personalized interventions without the need for a formal diagnosis? I, for one, am incredibly excited about the possibilities. With the power of AI, we can potentially identify individuals who may be at risk for mental health issues early on and provide targeted interventions to improve their mental wellness. This can't come soon enough for me, and I believe that the future of mental health care will be significantly transformed by the integration of AI technology. (Used chat gpt 3 to help me write this)

> This is so wrong I will not bother with the rest of the claims, this author is unqualified

I find these comments pretty amusing. The author you’re referring to is François Chollet, an esteemed and widely published AI researcher whose code you’ve probably used if you’ve ever played around with ML (he created Keras and, as a Google employee, is a key contributor to Tensorflow).

So no, he’s not “unqualified,” and if you think he’s confused about a very basic area of human or machine cognition, you very likely don’t understand his claim, or are yourself confused.

Based on your response, you’re probably a little of both.

You either spend your money expecting a Singularity that never comes, or save your money then watch it become worthless once the Singularity hits.

Screwed either way.

I've said similar things and at least among the folks I know it lands pretty well/folks seem to want to say that but couldn't find the words. In a really literal way, like the dots just weren't connecting but what they were attempting to communicate was that.

The thing I wonder is how we would tell. Since we can't leave our subjective experience and observe another, I think that means we're stuck never really knowing to a certain degree. Personally I lean toward just taking a sort of functionalist approach, what does it matter if we're ultimately fooling ourselves if the thing behaves and interacts well enough for it not to matter? Or is it the case that, on the whole, our species values itself too highly to really accept that time it outdid itself? I feel like if we avoid some sort of enormous catastrophe, what we'll end up with is some awful, cheap thing that makes you pay for a conversation devoid of product ads.

I don’t know who is cashing out 401k, that’s just stupid. I don’t know exactly what singularity is, but within 10 years your life is not going to be the same, in 25 years you might as well believing 200 years from now if not a 1000.

I think Her (2014) and A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) are two of the most prescient sci-fi movies created in recent times. One with more positive outlook than the other, but knowing our world, both will come true at the same time. Like I can already picture some redneck crowd taking sick pleasure at destroying androids. You can already see some people on Twitter justifying and hyping their hate for AI or anyone who is positive about it.
