A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

But a cloned human is an artificial intelligence.

No, it's not. Artificial intelligence is something that is artificially created, like a machine, that can think like a human. A human clone is human, literally.

I think we're both standing from extremely different points of view here on what AI, that is artificial intelligence actually is. But I concede that my statement about it being impossible to create is hyperbolic. We're can't say for certain that it's impossible.

I know that form of ai is not what you are referring to, but why not?

... Because... It's wrong.

I wouldn't call investing power and resources to replicate human capability progress. It's literally going backwards and rebuilding from scratch. Is this line of research honestly worth pursuing at the cost of our climate and environment? It's the same with the Wright Brothers; their technology paved way for increased consumption of resources and rate of spread of disease.

Yeah we get brand new shiny things but at what cost? Is it worth it in the long run? Is it worth automating human capability when we've messed up every single step of our planetary ecosystem?

I would much rather live in a world where all the effort and resources that is currently put into 'AI' redirected into sustainable systems. That, to me, is progress that is worth pursuing.
