Here, let me correct the title for you:

>Microsoft suggests they want more money so make up wild claims about the technology they have a majority stake in to drive up marketing and hype.

That wasn't real!?

Pretty sure it's not so much as AGI, but just a component for it.

This tech is in its infancy.

People criticizing current limitations are really missing the point. It's way ahead of what most anyone could have expected 20 years ago, and advancement is accelerating.

The fact that you can even say what you’re saying speaks to such a level of naivety that reasoning with you is a series of levels far away from anything possible. Have you considered why even condensing material on a molecular level such as coal to diamond changes its properties so dramatically? Have you considered the mere fact that splitting a single atom releases enough energy to create a blast on the scale of an atomic bomb? You’re talking in fantasy where you simply want one thing without considering the infinite implications of the surroundings or why everything exists the way it does in the first place from trillions of years ago all the way until today. It’s extremely ignorant.

This presupposes that such an AI isn’t at or near artificial general intelligence or even at artificial super intelligence (AGI/ASI). Such an oracle may be difficult to impossible to be controlled by bad actors. That’s one potential caveat. The oracle defends itself against misuse.

Another, and I think this is more plausible than bad actors is good actors acting in what they think is humanity’s benefit, but doing disastrous damage in the process. A benevolent dictatorship so to speak. Which really is a path to eventually bad acting anyway. But still.

that's exactly all humans are and i don't understand you could see anything "magical" about reality or anything inside it.

Simple, the AI would just be able to manipulate the living being in such a way that the being's body can adapt and survive in the environment while having a shrunken down body. It's completely possible to manipulate the body already with today's technology, an AI could do that beyond any of our means. The AI could manipulate the individual cells, manipulate the individual atoms, in a way where a human, for example, would still maintain its normal "human" physical state while being shrunken down. If we have shrunken someone down today without current knowledge, they would just turn into a pile of mush, but with the AI modifying the individual elements of the physical body, it could adapt to such a transition, and adapt to the environment as you said, allowing the body to be fine and they would still be themselves.

I checked your profile, you are a most strange and bothersome individual

Deepfake detector

There are tons of deep fake detectors

Even ignoring your complete lack of understanding in theoretical reasoning, on a practical standpoint, understanding does not give any means to physically accomplishing any of what you’re talking about. Even if you broke the bounds of natural occurrence with scientific method, you would also have to simultaneously create an environment where it is allowed to exist. Our universe is predicated on major and minor forces that all other existence adheres to. You’re trying to justify a manipulation in isolation without considering that everything and anything is in a dimension of constant motion and transfer of energy.

Made of plastic? Unlikely, but we might see replacement organs grown from our own cells someday...

We’ve known that for awhile. Eliza style AI actually does reasonably as a therapist.

I don’t think most will be able to tell. It’s not unsophisticated people - no blaming the audience for being fooled by something that is very nearly indistinguishable from reality.

I thought it was real, didn't even question it. The future is going to be great.

doubt it, organs have crazy shit like the heart has neurons in it, it's not just a pump

Just wanted to see your opinion on this. But your right, with how intelligent AI would become, it literally would become like magic and just figure it all out for us lol. There were a few researchers saying that AI would become so intelligent in inventing new technology, that it would be almost impossible to predict what society will be like beyond a few days or a week because Artificial Super Intelligence would be making many world-changing inventions every single day, the world be drastically different again and again just a few days after its previous invention. And this would be happening millions of times within just one year? In this way, the future itself will become an event horizon, where like I said the future would be impossible to see beyond a few days or a week. With that level of capability, like c'mon, a shrink ray doesn't seem that far off lol. I'm sure it's capable of finding physics that we haven't even imagined.

Right? "Laws can change" is so flippant. The sun can turn blue. Doesnt mean it will or that it can with the magic of AI

It definitely handles most abstractions I've thrown at it. Have you seen the examples in the paper?

Can material objects be techno-magically shrunk-down in size? Possibly. Would living organisms survive the shrinking process? Try it and report back, hey? 8-)

i mean.. Google is already that good enough for me.. the idea that i can just google ANYTHING and learn about it, is unimaginable from my childhood years.. i'm only 37 and i think we live in the coolest generation of years, ever. the fact that i can just listen to whatever i want, whenver i want. i can do anything for a job and learn about it before i even do it, through online courses from professionals, i can invest in anything i want from the phone in my hand or the computers in my house. I can travel anywhere by buying tickets from my couch in my house. I can have face to face video conversations with my family in NY, while i'm in Japan.. we are the future, this is now. and it's amazing.
