Anyone who knows any computer language and code knows A.I. as perceived by the world is utter nonsense.
It is a credit to the ingenuity of mankind that we have created games and such where the bad guys appear to think, where computers can beat chess masters.
In truth. There is absolutely zero thought occurring.
Computers can do two(2) things only.
A) It can compare two values
B) It can turn a light on or off (and by light I mean switch - You have to watch your wording carefully on this forum)
Every line of computer code in every computer language is simply either
A) an if/then statement.
B) a direction to a switch/light.
IF X>Y go to Line 200 Else line 200 (type stuff).
A computer that actually thought would not even be practical.
If a computer was organic and grown. Then that is a life form and hardly a computer. I have seen such arguments. No algorithms can emulate true thought.
If you look at a flowchart for any computer software it has two(2) types of boxes.
A) Diamond shapes - These are decisions based on comparing values.
B) Boxes - These turn switches on and off.
There is no such box where a computer considers the task. There is no real bad guy in your PlayStation.
If a computer wins at chess, it is not because it is more imaginative. It wins because it has looked at every possible future move and calculates accordingly. Zero thought.
Hope this help some of the folk in this forum sleep better.
Want to put your mind at ease. Spend 1 hour learning to code.
No computer will ever be capable of true thought. Not unless its organic... and then its a life form
