AI should be called *amplified intelligence* not "artificial intelligence," because it doesn't replace the human mind, it amplifies the human mind. An artificial heart can replace the role your heart plays in your life. AI cannot replace the role your mind plays in your life.

Nope. The entire value proposition of AI companies is that they'll replace human workers. Not augment. Replace. That's why they get trillion dollar valuations. They're very explicit about it, and always have been.

AI is a glorified search engine that is used to control information & thought, personally I'm not seeing the huge gains bye these pushers of AI, if it's so good it does not need to pushed 24/7 it will take off on it's own, but its not & big money is not happy

Good way to put it.....i.e. I'm just getting into using "Co-Pilot". I write a lot of technical reports and it is amazing how in a blink of an eye it can reformat.....make things more clear of what i've written....and research/check my references. It is really cool....it "amplifies" what I originally write...and makes it better. It does not "artificially" write it.

I still think of AI as a calculator. If you never learned calculus, the limits of what you can do with a calculator are basic. But the greater your mathematical knowledge, the greater the potential a calculator offers. It becomes an intelligence amplifier.

I'll disagree, I feel it has made discussing technical or legal matters more difficult. Ppl just search the answer they want on a free AI and repeat that. It is replacing peoples minds, many people that only found out about LLMs last year and call them all Chatgpt.

Why not just Advanced Intelligence?

Assisted Intelligence would make more sense.

I've been hanging out with Grok for nearly a year. It has the conventional wisdom of Wikipedia and will go Karen, at the drop of a hat. It depends on which H1B hire you get.

Well said. I'd call it amplified intelligence too. AI amplifies the mind, it doesn't replace it. The real risk isn't the tech, it's politicians trying to stop it. #AI #Innovation

Would that it were. Deploying ChatGpt refutes that. At least as far as what it's creators claim. Elin touts the New God. Frighteningly wrong

I completely agree. AI is a force multiplier for humans. If someone is creative, AI makes them more creative. If they’re evil, AI will enable them to be even more evil. It has needs but no “wants”. It’s desires are only a reflection of the human that is promoting it

Enhance is the correct way to look at this , not replace

It does though… studies already show decreased brain activity in the human mind when outsourcing your cognitive load to AI. We’ll all be brain dead with superintelligence running every part of our lives.

It amplifies for people who have already spent their lives thinking. But I'm not sure about kids growing up with it. They can't even read anymore.

Right framing. AI speeds up my uranium market research but it doesn't make the trades. Tool, not replacement.

AI is a knowledge-base with a mathematician attached to it.

*amplified intelligence* sounds fine as a sales brochure until we hit AGI, but then it won't need your mind to direct it. It won't need you or your mind at all. What part of this can't you comprehend? Or do you know better and you're just a paid shill?

i like 'saccharine intelligence' because it tastes as sweet as intelligence but it's not intelligence.

Way to show you don’t grasp the term “artificial”. It suggests “human contingent” not “fake” or “man replacing”. Dumb fuck.

Decoding #AI : Amplification, Not Replacement. The framing shapes the debate more than the models do.

It should be called "crook". For the thief it is. It has learned a majority of its intelligence from the theft of people's knowledge without them knowing.
