We have AI—Grok, ChatGPT, etc. Ask them any question and you will get a far better answer than Google. Ask more than one if you have a complex question. Compare the results; the difference might surprise you.
Many think we now have AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).
AGI is generally understood as AI capable of performing intellectual tasks at or exceeding human levels across diverse domains, learning from experience, and adapting to unfamiliar situations. Ever call for support and know you are talking to a machine? They aren’t perfect yet, but it’s better than talking to someone in a foreign country you can’t understand.
The possibly scary AI comes next—ASI (Artificial Superintelligence).
ASI is expected to operate beyond the boundaries of human cognition, outperforming human abilities across every domain by a wide margin. ASI’s emergence is closely linked to the concept of an intelligence explosion, where an AGI capable of modifying its own algorithms and learning systems could enter a rapid cycle of continuous self-improvement.
This revolution cannot be stopped. It is going to happen regardless of your opinion of data centers. The only question that should be asked is: Who is going to control it? “No data centers” is not a strategy. No, they are not spying on people. They are learning how to solve complex problems and produce data people don’t even know they need.
The future is why China did this:

If you see any of these, China is shaping your opinion against data centers for their benefit:

No incentives should ever be provided to lure development—they don’t need it. Any development must require bringing their own electricity and infrastructure.
Look at who is behind the opposition before believing anything they say. Humans First is touring the country in a fancy bus. They claim to be grassroots. They aren’t.

I find that AI is wrong pretty much all the time. Ask it something you are an expert on and see for yourself. Often times you have to ask it 5-10 clarifying questions to get to the point where it admits it is a failure. Sad that people are being manipulated into believing AI speaks the truth.
Grok never has that problem
I assume you are using a premium paid model? The free ones are junk without the numerous prompt revisions and follow-up questions.
Nope
Michael – The way you prompt AI is important because it can “hallucinate”. It doesn’t willfully lie YET. It doesn’t willfully give a wrong answer. (that said, Anthropic engineers did some experiments that showed some pretty scary results)
Here is a prompt that reduces the chances of error.
“Accuracy is more important than giving me an answer. Do not guess. If you aren’t sure, say so. For factual claims that could have changed or that are important to the conclusion, verify them using reliable primary sources and cite those sources. Clearly distinguish verified facts, inferences, and uncertainty.”
If there is a high consequence of being wrong you shouldn’t rely on AI alone.
Diane thank you for the positive outlook for AI. It might be wrong sometimes now and undoubtedly there’ll be a huge learning curve but it will be. It is the next “industrial revolution”, we either play or we loose. Leftist communists like Sanders and AOC do not want AI because it could keep us from going bankrupt and destroying ourselves. Pretty much anything those two support is bad for America. AI is coming, I hope it’s American not Chinese….A few basic regulations need to be in place but lets welcome it not fight it.
Diane, as always, thank you for enlightening me. I appreciate all your hard work
