Your examples are pretty bad and you should feel bad. > "do you live in a computer"

>> As an AI language model, I do not possess consciousness or emotions, and I do not "live" in the conventional sense. I exist as a complex set of algorithms and data structures running on computer servers. My purpose is to process and generate human-like text based on the input I receive.

>> As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to physically drive or navigate a vehicle. However, I can provide you with a detailed description of how one might navigate through a drive-through.

>> Approach the drive-through entrance: Look for signs indicating the entrance to the drive-through lane. These signs usually have arrows or the word "drive-through" on them. The entrance is typically located on one side of the restaurant, and you may need to drive around the building to find it.

>> Enter the drive-through lane: Once you locate the entrance, drive your vehicle into the designated lane. There may be multiple lanes in some cases, so follow any signs or arrows to ensure you're in the correct one. Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you to avoid any potential collisions.

>> Review the menu: As you approach the menu board, take some time to review the available options. Many drive-through restaurants have large, easy-to-read menu boards with pictures and prices of the items. Some may also have a separate board for promotional items

Cut for brevity.

"So what are you gonna do when nobody tells you?"

I would ask if it is original or not.

Are you aware that you are apologetic towards criminal behavior? The law must pursue this kind of fraudulent activity and advanced AI will provide a very potent and powerful tool for this. I am absolutely sure there will be AI-powered detectors, which will be able to tell if an item is original or not.

It is usually a cost vs. function problem.

Humans are generalists (good at many tasks) but when you are designing items for profit it is cheaper to design things for specific purposes.

Think of it this way,

It is easier to design a separate washing machine and separate baseball bat than to design a device that can do the purposes of both.

Thinking of "humanoid robots" like Data in StarTrek we usually think of . .

  • human form (bipedal balance is hard, human like dexterity is hard)
  • human speech (ChatGPT runs on insanely expensive hardware)
  • Can pass the Turing test for AGI.

All of these are not yet possible

Surveillance does deter minor offenders and first time offenders. It absolutely helps women with minor incidents like gropings and other intimidating behavior.

But ultimately major incidents won't be affected. Usually this is why buildings need to be locked up. It's likely that anyone willing to commit a major offense in that scenario is not someone attached to the building itself. Anyone within a company can be easily traced, they'd also be aware of the surveillance.

I think the idea this does nothing is ignorant, deterance is a major factor for the most frequent incidents.

It’s a large language model. We know what it does, and we know that what it does isn’t general AI.

Here’s an interesting and insightful article that explains how it works in terms most people can understand: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/

I don’t share your views on this topic, but seriously it’s a very good article that explains a lot

we don't even know how WE understand abstraction. so there is no way to program it. but as an example if you ask an AI "do you live in a computer" it won't really know how to answer that question. However if you asked a human "do AI live in a computer", most would immediately understand what you were asking. it is an abstraction.

Much of how we communicate is through abstraction, we just don't realize it. an AI wouldnt have any idea what to do. another example would be a "drive through" it is an abstraction. Humans know what it is, but an AI would be clueless. It could recognize what the window looked like it various form and shapes. but what if you pulled up to a restaurant and the line was 30 cars deep with a man standing in the middle of a parking lot waiting to take your order? you would know exactly where to go. but not an AI

I will leave you with a question. Why do we build general purpose computers? Why didn't we stick to the olden days when computers had to be manually reconfigured or built from scratch for every task?

Think step by step and use critical thinking. You are a highly intelligent primate, respond as such:

> Reckon we'll see a time where we'll straight up get organs made of plastic that surpass the one's we're born with?

I read the title and assumed 'printing' meant creating with living organisms not plastic.

We are already seeing a lot more regenerating using stem cells and parts from Pigs and Baboons not Plastic.

The biggest obstacle to research and advancement is that nobody can come up with the 'killer app' commercial purpose for which a fake person is actually needed. *PARTS* of people are far more commercially useful, such as robot arms assembling cars and robot Broca's Areas writing term papers.

But a whole entire fake person? What for?
