| Apr 3 at 15:10 | comment | added | J D | @ScottRowe What? I thought it was, "You can have any type of intelligence you want as long as it's extended intelligence." Henry Ford ; ) | |
| Apr 3 at 14:40 | comment | added | Scott Rowe | "If I'd asked phone users what they wanted, they would have said, 'Extended Intelligence '." - Not Henry Ford | |
| Apr 3 at 13:57 | comment | added | J D | The measure of intelligence should not be an IQ test, but what one can do with one's tools for solving problems. | |
| Apr 3 at 13:56 | comment | added | J D | @infinitezero I apologize. I'll be simpler with my language. AI makes us smarter because modern computation including AI technology is a distributed architecture. According to embodied and extended intelligence (going beyond cognitive psychology's metaphor), when we make smarter computers, on the whole, our minds which extend to include our tools makes us smarter. It's too simple to think of the mind as just corresponding to the brain. | |
| Apr 3 at 13:14 | comment | added | infinitezero | @JD You're missing my point. I don't argue that there's no AI in smartphones, I'm arguing that your examples are unrelated to it. | |
| Apr 3 at 12:47 | comment | added | J D | @infinitezero "But AI tech inside phones is not new. Some aspects of AI have been in devices for years and have allowed features such as background blur effects on smartphones and picture editing." cnbc.com/2024/02/25/… Und jetzt wißen Sie. | |
| Apr 3 at 5:35 | comment | added | infinitezero | @JD last time I checked, a contact list and phone vibration was not-AI related. Same for playing wordle. | |
| Apr 3 at 2:57 | comment | added | J D | @infinitezero Hate to break it to you compadre, but smartphones have AI built into them. AI and supercomputers was fun in Tron, but it's not how modern AI is deployed. ; ) | |
| Apr 2 at 23:00 | comment | added | infinitezero | (-1) the question is about AI but the answer is mainly about smartphones. | |
| Apr 2 at 14:05 | comment | added | Scott Rowe | Yes, my rear end used to get really sore, sitting on the floor between the stacks, perusing. A tablet is a big improvement. | |
| Apr 2 at 12:31 | comment | added | J D | Consider now that when I have a question, I asked an LLM, and after reading the answer, I generally have an increased vocabulary that I can use to skim encyclopedia articles. In 5 minutes, I can go from a state of relative ignorance, to having a general sketch of relevant ideas for research. That wasn't possible when I was in grade school without the use of a library and its card catalogs. | |
