• because humans are dumb in comparison to AI

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to Nicholas Boel on Sun Nov 24 22:34:00 2024
    Hello Nicholas!

    Unless tractors go extinct, I seriously doubt humans will
    ever replace them ... AI or not.

    Of course, I meant the words in the sentence would change
    (because humans are dumb in comparison to AI, which will
    soon be controlling said tractor) - I was definitely not
    comparing the physicality of what both words actually do.

    AI would never surpass humans because of its lack of truly
    understanding anything.

    Sure, AI can access a whole bunch of data and process it very
    fast, but it would still be the lessor to humankind.

    Have you interacted with humans recently? There are non-AI controlled
    tractors out there smarter than some humans already, and tractors can't
    even think!

    Sure, AI can access a whole bunch of data and process it very
    fast, but it would still be the lessor to humankind.

    Of course. Most of what I said was a joke, or sarcasm, because there are
    a lot of stupid people out there already. :)

    Regards,
    Nick
