AI Chatter

 I noticed this AM....this story:

"Google CEO says that they don’t fully understand their own AI system after it started doing things it wasn’t programmed to do such as teaching itself an entire foreign language it was not asked to do."

I pondered upon this.

Why did the  system just invent a 'learn-details' requirement?  I'm of the mind....once it mandated it...it probably took less than 10 minutes to learn all of the foreign language

If the system mandated that learning the repair instructions of all Ford trucks made since 1936?  It would sequence the situation...find the manuals  on-line, and probably add this capability in an hour (while doing 15,000 other requirements).

So I come to three observations:

1.   Just guessing....as they add more 'cloud-capability' and data-storage...AI is going to take on 50,000 tasks per day, and go way beyond the mandated tasks.  The data-gain in the next five years?  Probably whatever you expected to be done by 2060...will be completed by 2035.

2.  If you cut loose the funds and built a dozen unmanned subs....AI would map out the globe in a matter of five years. 

3.  We might reach a point where AI was a better stock-predictor than some idiot from the Business Channel.
