    AI strong enough would be smarter than a human

    General AI might be, but the type of “AI” we have right now isn’t general, isn’t smarter, it’s just a really expensive imitation engine that people keep mistaking for actual intelligence.

    And the energy consumption and heat production are really not what our global situation needs right now.

      AGI and ASI are what I am referring to. Of course we don’t actually have that right now, I never claimed we did.

      It is hilarious and insulting you trying to “erm actually” me when I literally work in this field doing research on uses of current gen ML/AI models. Go fuck yourself.
