Not Yet, But Soon, Maybe

Our role here is to be as transparent and honest about AI as possible.  As of now, there is no known true thinking machine that is capable of independent thought in the same sense that humans understand it. It is true that some advanced artificial intelligence systems like GPT-3 and other neural networks can generate responses and simulate human-like conversation, but they do not possess consciousness or true independent thought. AI dubbed systems operate based on advanced processors, predefined algorithms and other forms of data inputs. Think of AI as an engineering dream, a possibility one day. A goal which many work towards or even hope to produce or achieve in the future.

We will elaborate  and will further review as many related AI issues as possible. Most of the various developments written about herein have yet to be totally realized or met.  Perhaps it is truly divine, if not lucky for mankind, that we have not as yet totally reached all the various goals or applications for AI as people describe.   We humans need the time and space to develop controls and oversight to monitor that which AI really is or is being directed to go.

The best way for us to describe where AI is today, is that man strives to create AI in some form, yes, but we have simply not achieved Artificial Intelligence just yet.  Can we as humans create artificial intelligence, real artificial intelligence? One wonders. 

Commercially, when you see companies come to refer to AI and to a host over various product developments, the term AI is clearly overused.  These various companies do not have Artificial Intelligence.  What they have is advanced computing, or smart software or even advanced algorithms.  But is there REALLY some artificial brain, some superhuman intelligence associated with what they have? No. The use of the term AI is now so over-hyped that it is now beginning to become surreal. 

Rest assured that if any commercial or civilian entity had real Artificial Intelligence, it would have become global news. Nearly all of what you’ve seen is wishful thinking. Close, but no cigar.  ”Open the Podbay doors Hal…”  I  mean seriously, what could wrong?
