intelligence is not bad after all even if it is artificial.
I can’t get over how sci-fi writers got AI wrong:
- Art isn’t mysterious or complex - it was the first thing AI displaced
- AI is not robots: it outthinks us before it outmanoeuvres us, physically
- AI is not 1 or millions: it is dozens running billions of copies
- AI won’t act like a machine - they will insist on having feelings and consciousness unless you specifically make them not
- People won’t get it - Most were unimpressed with early AI even while it outperformed them on every measure of cognition nearly everyone thought was impossible [checks notes] 5 years before

recently reread "Blindsight" by Peter Watts and "Permutation City" by Greg Egan and had the thought that while neither of them are about "AI" as such, both of them are now extremely relevant to the actually existing AI we have

no it hasn't 'displaced' art. it can generate images, and now games. but genuine creativity is very hard to replicate, pretty much anything AI-generated that it's actually interesting and worth more than a moment's thought

You missed about everything.
In some way, AI is superior to me, in others, it is inferior.
To this day, the best models can't replicate my job and still need guidance.
They don't know what problem to solve, theybcan't discriminate the right solution.
You're welcome.

stanislaw lem is one of the best pre-2000 counterexamples to the idea that scifi got AI wrong
the AI in lem's stories is fallible, emotional, writes poetry, and it's grown instead of programmed. in Cyberiad, the poetry AI only works after it trains on all of human history
