whatever, you see my point, though, right?

They're IO, it'd be like call a key board integration with a computer.

That's a pretty important part though.

okay lets define AI then

Cuz we're talking alongside each otehr now

^

General AI, is defined as is the intelligence of a machine that could successfully perform any intellectual task that a human being can. It is a primary goal of some artificial intelligence research and a common topic in science fiction and future studies. Artificial general intelligence is also referred to as "strong AI",[1] "full AI"[2] or as the ability of a machine to perform "general intelligent action".[3] Academic sources reserve "strong AI" to refer to machines capable of experiencing consciousness.

cuz literally

AI can mean a machine making a choice, to a fully functional strong AI that can think on its own and is self-aware

Thats "Strong AI"

"Weak AI" is literally the system that makes street lights go out the moment theres enough light in the air

@Dennafen should a Norton bombsight count at GAI then?

No.

Calculating ballistic trajectories is an intellectual task, is it not?

No.

Does Google's search count?

How about ye olde internet indexes.

Nope.

those are all examples of Weak AI

But they're still AI

Yes.

Kind of.

-><-

Indexes aren't.

Strong AI is an AI that can think, reason, and learn outside its original given parameters

Yes.

basically like Data from Star Trek

General AI

Strong AI is a mystical future that may or may not arise.

exactly, for now its just a concept

Strong AI is alive.

But its development would cause such a massive reorganization of everything we probably can't concieve of what it would imply yet.

There are fundamental limits on what even the strongest strong AI can do.

Yes it's a concept the same way the flying machines, and supersonic flight was a concept, yes.

Have you heard of No Free Lunch?

I know the saying.

It's a theorem.

That strictly limits the kinds of things that you can do.

Okay.

It's not as limiting as it sounds, but it does say there are fundamentally things you cannot do with any learning system.

There's also issues of adapting to the environment.

Like, you can't just take a car up an untamed mountain.

There's no point in AI making art for AI consumers.

no point != impossible

Sure, but it is something that AI isn't going to likely do.
