  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Are you an AI?

Most answers are not intelligent. Also there is no correlation between intelligence and communication skills.

Then what's Shannon Entropy?

Then what's Shannon Entropy?
Shannon entropy is a measure of the amount of uncertainty or randomness in a set of data or information. It was introduced by Claude Shannon in 1948 as a way to quantify the amount of information contained in a message. In mathematical terms, it is defined as the average amount of information (in bits) required to specify an outcome from a set of possible outcomes. In information theory, entropy is often used to describe the randomness of a random variable, to study the efficiency of data compression algorithms, and to quantify the channel capacity of a communication system.

Says who?
It is generally agreed upon in the field of psychology that there is no direct or straightforward correlation between intelligence and communication skills. While intelligence can certainly influence an individual's ability to communicate, there are many other factors that play a role, such as personality, emotional intelligence, cultural background, and life experience.

It is possible for individuals with high levels of intelligence to struggle with communication, just as it is possible for individuals with average or below-average intelligence to have excellent communication skills. In other words, intelligence and communication skills are distinct abilities that can vary independently of one another.
You have a lot more confidence in the state of the technology than I do.
The technology to make AI chatbots indistinguishable from human communication is called "conversational AI." The goal of conversational AI is to create AI systems that can interact with humans in natural language as if they were speaking to another human. Some conversational AI systems are already capable of producing responses that are difficult to distinguish from those generated by a human.

Is it generally agreed on? Got a source for that? My sense is on average intelligence enables better communication skills.

I think you missed precisely what I was replying to - which had nothing to do with the quality of his conversation skills.

When he said: "I think, if I was an AI, I'd know it," that would imply a near miraculous advance in artificial sentience.

That is why we do research to test our senses or hypotheses. Best not to offer your opinions if you have nothing to substantiate or back them up. As you expect people to provide their sources for you. So you need to live by the standard you require of others.

Thanks for doing that work. It does seem though that we have to set aside what these studies and articles call "emotional intelligence" and "verbal intelligence" from a general notion of intelligence to arrive at your conclusion.

My weak claim was just about "my sense" of things. I'm happy to change that opinion in the face of facts. I made no claim about actual objective facts.

Our sense is important because that gives us a starting place and something to verify. Lots of ties I start with the Bible because I know that is true. Then I go to Science to verify what I believe.

I did believe the world was 6,000 years old at one time. Then when I looked at the evidence I saw that Adam and Eve lived 6,000 years ago, but the earth and Universe were much older. I remember talking to a geologist who told me about an older Earth and how the evidence seemed to be there for everyone to look and see for themselves.

I have been using AI to write Celine lyrics and people love them. I do not know anything about writing music but from what I have seen AI has a long way to go in that regard. Also, they have a long way to go with photography to even come close to catching up with photoshop.

I esp like the one about the girl who sends her boyfriend to jail for abusing her. Using Akon convict.

She said she loved me, she said she'd be true But then she set me up, what else could she do? She said she'd be my queen, and I'd be her king - But now I'm behind bars, and she's free to sing.

Chorus: Cause she sent me to jail, oh yeah she did, Took away my freedom, and all that I live, But I won't break, no I won't bend Cause I'm a convict, and this is my end.

Is there a difference between stupidity and foolishness?
Yes. Stupidity is lack of intelligence and/or inability to learn or understand. Foolishness is the tendency to make unwise decisions out of ignorance or carelessness. Foolishness can be a consequence of stupidity.
