I asked someone this question before and they said it was a really stupid question and I'm not sure why so thought I would ask it here...

What's going to happen when AI becomes really advanced? Is there a plan for what all of the displaced people are going to do? Like for example administrative assistance, receptionist, cashiers, office workers, White collar people. Is there going to be some sort of retraining program of some sort to get people cross-trained into other careers like nursing or other careers that have not yet been automated? Or are people just going to lose their homes, be evicted and is there going to be like some sort of mass eviction and homelessness downstream effect because people can't find any work?

That the human brain exists is enough evidence that intelligence is possible. An AGI similar to the human brain is then possible at a minimum

Can't say much more than that for sure, but you have a starting point.

[-] UmeU@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Because intelligence exists, AGI similar to the human brain is possible? Your conclusion does not follow the premise.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, absolutely. Because at a minimum we can recreate the human brain, as we know the human brain can exist.

[-] UmeU@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You are talking funny friend… we can NOT recreate the human brain. Maybe someday, but so far it has not been demonstrated to be possible.

You say that we can recreate the human brain because we know the human brain can exist.

The sun can exist, can we recreate the sun?

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

In theory? Yes. That's the point. All I'm saying is that it's not literally impossible, why is it so hard to understand?

[-] UmeU@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Because something has not yet been proven to be impossible does not make that thing possible.

Speculation alone does not make a thing possible. You cannot claim that something is possible until you have demonstrated that it is indeed possible.

All things that have not been proven to be possible have a default state of being impossible until their possibility can be demonstrated.

So you think it's an inevitability? Given enough time we will develop one?

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The question wasn't whether it's inevitable, but whether it's possible

And the answer to whether it's possible is a clear: Yes, because we already have general intelligence

But it's very much not an inevitability, no. Civilization could always collapse before we get to that point, after all

[-] UmeU@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Just because intelligence exists does not mean it is possible to artificially create general intelligence… we would need some evidence that AGI is possible other than ‘makes sense to me’

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well, here we need to specify what "artificial" in this equation means. Because to me it just means "created by humans" (so, not natural processes). It doesn't say anything about it not being able to be near-identical to natural brains

Gibberish, absolute gibberish.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
