This show will get to the bottom of all those questions you need answers to. Each week we will cover a topic that has been left out in the public square unattended and covered with questions from the “official story” You will be able to determine on this show if the topic has been deemed a “Conspiracy” or a “Conspiracy Theory”.

Artificial Intelligence
Overview:
Artificial Intelligence is something that is still in its infancy, but we are starting to see the concept of it taking shape and entering our daily lives in more and more ways.
The Turing Test:
Also known as the Imitation Game, the Turing Test is a test for a machine’s ability to demonstrate intelligence in such a way that would be similar to, and indistinguishable from, a human. The test would involve a human evaluator and two subjects, one of which is a machine. The evaluator would be aware that one of the two partners in conversation was a machine, and all participants would be separated from one another.
The conversation would be limited to a text-only channel, such as a computer keyboard and screen, so the result would not depend on the machine’s ability to render words as speech. If the evaluator could not reliably tell the machine from the human, the machine would be said to have passed the test.
What is intelligence according to AI researchers:
- Reason, use strategy, solve puzzles, and make judgements under uncertainty
- Represent knowledge, including common sense
- Learn
- Plan
- Communicate in natural language
- The ability to sense (see, hear, etc.)
- The ability to act (move and manipulate objects). This includes the ability to detect and respond to hazards.
- Many, but not all also consider Imagination: the ability to form novel mental images and concepts
Deep Blue:
In 1997, a supercomputer named Deep Blue, built by IBM for the sole purpose of playing chess, defeated the World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov in a six game match by winning 2 games and drawing 3. In 1996, prior to its upgrade, it lost to Kasparov 4 games to 2.
SmarterChild:
SmarterChild was an intelligent agent or “bot” developed by ActiveBuddy, Inc in 2000 that was available on AOL Instant Messenger. The chatbot became very popular and attracted over 30 million Instant Messenger “buddies” on AIM (AOL) and MSN and Yahoo Messenger over the course of its lifetime. In many ways, SmarterChild can be considered the precursor to virtual assistants like Siri
ChatGPT:
ChatGPT is the latest AI chatbot that came out at the end of November 2022 and was developed by OpenAI. It is by far the most sophisticated chatbot to date and is built on top of OpenAI’s LLM’s (Large Language Models) neural network.
Tesla Autopilot:
Its features are lane centering, traffic-aware cruise control, automatic lane changes, semi-autonomous navigation on limited access freeways, self-parking, and the ability to summon the car from a garage or parking spot. With all of these features, the driver is responsible and the car requires constant supervision.
Potential Dangers:
Roko’s Basilisk:
A thought experience which postulates that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence in the future would be incentivised to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development
Deep Fakes:
How do we deal with the problem of AI generated deepfake audio, photos, and videos? Much of which is pornographic.
Media:
Will AI kill the arts? Just look at how fast AI art has progressed since June of 2022 when Dall-E first came out. Now AI art is on a whole new level and artists are dealing with users putting in <art prompt in the style of artist (x)> this will also happen to music artists as well.
Someone created that Drake & The Weeknd song using AI
Someone created a metal song called “Guardians of Time” by FROSTBITE ORCKINGS using AI. The lyrics, the audio, and the YouTube video were all created by AI
Give it a few years and we will just be listening to music that was entirely created by AI. Most people won’t care either, they only care if it is good or not.
Artificial General Intelligence:
Once AGI is created, the genie will officially be out of the bottle. It is impossible to know if it would attempt to take control or not, because if it is a superintelligence with its own ideals and agendas, who is to say how it would view humanity?

Conclusion:
Artificial Intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work, offering tremendous benefits across various industries. However, addressing ethical considerations is paramount to ensure the responsible and equitable development of AI. By harnessing the power of AI while upholding ethical standards, we can shape a future where humans and intelligent machines collaborate to create a better world. With continued research, innovation, and responsible deployment, artificial intelligence will undoubtedly remain a driving force behind transformative advancements in the years to come.
