  • 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.

So we've heard some of the warnings and worries about AI in the future, such as us allowing it to take the wheel, so to speak, and guiding us down unintended paths. But from another perspective, what are some good ways it can help us in the future?

Networking AI's..!

Say I have $30,000 in the bank, and I ask my AI to help be start a business producing and marketing steering wheel covers. Now my AI asks me what I want them to look and feel like, and does every aspect of the business, from production to sales, by communicating with other AI systems to produce the best product, with a projected high yield profit for me. I literally do nothing, except imagine my product. It does all the work, and I make enough money to start my next project, whatever that is.

I now make money using my imagination.

AI can't do some necessary work for you. It is limited, as its available databases are also limited. No doubt at times there may be wrong information in the web, and AI might give you a bum steer. Choice of words might be critical for AI giving you the "right answer." Therefore you have to have some sense of what the "right answer" might be (or the "good advice") before you can reasonably accept it without blind faith.

I got investment advice of a list of questions to ask about specific options, asking for the best overnight investment. The instructor showed that he used 4 AI engines, in which he recommended 2 of them for success. In those 2 AI engines, he won profit overnight. So I tried the exact same procedure on the 2 recommended AI engines (ChatGPT 5 and Grok 4.1, and I added MS Copilot), on 3 trades I won one and lost two. It proved to me it's basically a "crap shoot" or "coin toss," IOW, a gamble.

I regularly query it for medical advice, since I am retired and ailing. Sometimes I believe the answer is good, but most of the time, after asking all related questions I think of, I end up trashing the info. It may be near the same thing as a doctor's advice, because doctors give advice based on statistical evidence - 70% responded this way, 85% responded to that medicine, etc. So that's what they will prescribe, but it doesn't necessarily apply to you, since everyone's body chemistry is unique. AI is simply passing along statistical probabilities.

Sometimes you roll a 7, and sometimes snake-eyes. I use AI as a tool for possible solutions, but I don't rely on it.

Good points. However, Yuval Noah Harari, known for his expertise in Big History, Technology and Information Systems points out that the current state of AI, can be compared to the age of amoeba, with our own human evolution - where it took 3.5 billion years for humans to evolve from amoeba... Harari points out that with AI, such an advanced transformation will be much quicker, taking only 20 or 30 years.

With such rapid change, we can expect AI to improve drastically, year after year.

Harari has brought up solid points too, that as AI advances, it will eventually begin learning from other AI systems, so eventually, AI's will be teaching other AI's, which will really speed things up. On the flip side, though, we have no idea where this will take us, if we could even comprehend how far ahead it is from us.

There is also potential for evil:

So it all depends on the moral integrity of the programmers, and their competence in discovering what could go wrong.

On a lighter note, how about AI that knows when I actually wake up, so that my coffee starts brewing then, rather than by a timer, that I may or may not wake up for in time.

It can get even scarier though, when AI becomes so advanced, that people allow AI to program other AI, because it's all become beyond our human capabilities.

Someone tried that with vending machines. The results were quite funny. The AI basically went crazy because all it was allowed to do was operate a vending machine business.

A.I. that actually help the elderly or terminal patients in hospice would be great. A tireless caregiver who can always help them, as opposed to fickle and distracted humans who get tired and need to use the bathroom.
