Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Coin Collecting

Well, AI is doing well in some areas, but world-wide legal systems are having problems that will get very big. https://www.ncsc.org/resources-courts/ai-generated-evidence-threat-public-trust-courts

AI usually never tells me anything that I didn't already know.

I still see lots of people dismissing AI with statements that amount to "it's not really intelligent, it only parrots back what it's been trained on".

Am I the only one who's convinced that most human thought amounts to nothing more than that?

 

Therefore...people aren't intelligent. QED.

 

That's the dark side of the Turing Test.

Alan Turing: Put a person in one room and a machine in another, and let them communicate via typing. If the person can't tell whether the entity on the other end is a human or a machine, the machine must be intelligent.

CoinCorgi: ...or the human must not be.

 

I make no assumptions.

 

Indeed! Exactly true. We mistake thought for intelligence.

I think therefore I am.

I believe we're going to be able to use our thinking and abstractions to invent true intelligence; machine intelligence. We are very close.

 

Copilot already exceeds the turing test. I can still trick it into acting like a machine but otherwise it can pass.

I would define "intellience" as the ability to extrapolate the unfolding of time as it is occuring.

 

Yep, we've well and truly blown past that goalpost. People now are scurrying around with the remaining goalposts, arguing about where they really belong.

 

Precisely!

AI "hallucinating" complete crap out of whole cloth is SO real. I write about numismatics. I began a project on Philippine coins and wanted to know what the foundational works were on the subject. I went to Grok AI and did all those things that they tell you to do if you want to really utilize AI (give the AI machine a role as the ultimate expert, be specific, etc.). What Grok gave me were seven sources. Six were legit. The top one cited, the most promising source with the most amazing information, was completely made up out of whole cloth. The "author" of this fictitious book himself was fictitious (the name was actually a Filipino naturalist who is not at all involved in numismatics). All of that I discovered, of course, only after further examination of the sources.

Doesn't this not bother people ENOUGH??
