ai as it exists is just a computer program that does a google search for you.


i can already look up facts on google without asking ai and that does 90% of what a doctor or teacher does. they're already obsolete. the other 10% is never going to be replaced by any computer searching decision trees, ever.

but i learned something when i went through my cancer scare a few years ago - doctors are trained to use the same algorithm an ai would. i actually took graduate level courses on ai at carleton about ten years ago, and it's really not any sort of magic. it's a decision tree, a database search. 

we have no idea at all how to make computers actually think and won't until we understand how we ourselves think. quantum computing may never happen, but real ai is likely outside of the possibilities of binary logic.
