Do you think computers are intelligent? Is it artificial, or intelligent? Whats Inside The Box? Its magic, or witchcraft! Or is it? How do I perceive Technology Is it mysterious and scary, or just a series of tools?. The Mechanical Turk A Victorian Chess playing robot in 1800s..
The Mechanical Turk Automaton Chess Player was a fake chess-playing machine constructed in the late 18th century. It was good at chess It seemed to nearly always win. A B C It inspired Sci-Fi It was so eerie it inspired lots of dystopian science fiction books. What is fake? There was a man in the box underneath, operating The Turk and taking instruction.. (like Deeper Blue)
Theres Always A Trick There was a human in the box!!! Humans Learn Cool Tricks. A trick is a shortcut to get to a desired outcome. A B C All Apps Are Human AI isnt A or I, its another trick/toolset made by man (genus) Tricks/Tools help us achieve desired outcomes quicker. Less work, less error, faster development.
We Are Not Lumbering Robots. Humans beat machines in the Turing Test, always! The most powerful computer in the World! Your Brain in the most powerful computer in the World!. Our cooperation ramps that power exponentially. The hive mind has solved nearly every problem known to Man. *and created some. Learn and Share! Learning in pairs, groups consolidates our understanding.
How Is Any Of This Going To Benefit Me? Its Only The Tools We Use That Directly Benefit Us, Right Her and Right Now, That Build Solid Neural Pathways. The More Pathways The Better! The more ways we can achieve something, the more embedded that process is. Fire Together, Wire Together! Neurons that fire together wire together is true.. Change How You Think. Panic and fear engage amygdala, flight/fight. Not good for problem solving.
