Looking at writing one to boost the member numbers on here
How many people and jobs though actually just recycle things they've heard in the past? Yes there is dome creativity, but even many ideas considered original are just repackaged versions of something else at this point.
Oversimplification of the problem we all learn from what we've heard/done in the past. However humans and not AI can give weight based on the cumulative knowledge based on experience far outside of the problem to when thing go wrong and when they go right. They also can come up with solutions outside of the box given. There's a gap AI can't quite bridge and it needs to be told by a human how to bridge that gap.
I know but it's still early days. Go back a few decades and computers couldn't beat humans at chess, then they rapidly developed to beat humans at chess but it was a very limited environment as you mentioned and was done through brute forcing and programming in a load of tactics etc. Now we have computers that can learn how to play chess through nothing more than being told what the pieces can do, what the objective is and playing itself multiple times.
Tom Currai?
Yes and no. Think how many years of experience humans go through from being a baby in order to learn how to deal with complex situations. Part of this is personal experience, but also knowledge passed on. Give AI enough time and enough experiences then it will surely start to choose the right response to the right situation.
Pattern recognition in computers isn't a new thing at all though its exceeded human speed for a significant amount of time. You use that kind of technology everyday.
How? Its a technical limitation nobody and I mean nobody has presented AI that is capable of a genuine creative thought. AI in it current state is regurgitation of information with randomness put in.
I listened to a podcast about this a while back, I think they said the AI was 100% on correct diagnosis, but the sticking point was they didn't know what criteria it was using to make the diagnosis.
What tech bro's overinflating what their tech can do....say it isn't so!
Playing devil's advocate, isn't creativity just doing something no one has done before? There is no real 'creativity' just finding a new combination that no one else has. Humans just keep trying new combinations and eventually some work. It's the whole monkey with type writers scenario. In theory with enough time every possible combination can occur. By sheer number humans make progress now because somone somewhere will find the right combination. But for every genius moment of creation there are thousands of failures. Hasn't AI already found new combinations of antibiotic.
That's a very complicated question. Depends on what exactly do we include into the notion "creativity". Under a "creativity" we can also mean "a deviation from standards/models/templates", therefore your example with "Al found new combinations of antibiotic" can be also an example of creativity (it didn't use already existing "models",but created its' own combinations). It's a bit like composing music, if you understand what I mean (I hope you understand, because for me it's a torture to explain smth in English
)And here I agree
Had to google it as I wasn't sure I understood correctly... jeez, what a perversion
I was also thinking that another area where AI would struggle is subjectivity. It could analyse all the food in the world to create a perfect meal and humans are so subjective that they may not actually like it. Same with music, it could compose what it thinks is a perfect song, but humans end up not liking it.
This is what is coming out of the creative space at the moment. This is great video explaining how when you actually dig into it how's it's actually failing at doing what you wanted.
I don't think AI can ever go outside it's programming as it were, it can merely do stuff within it's programming that was not foreseen. What would be interesting is if you can ever have AI that can make AI. For example the basic AI I've seen work on a reward - punishment system and certain parameters are set to try to obtain the desired effect, which can then sometimes cause an unforeseen side effect (eg in an AI to play Pokemon, the AI was rewarded for the screen showing novel images (the intention being to reward exploration), what actually happened is NPCs moving around presented enough novel images that the AI sat in one location, eventually becoming locked as moving would not produce a novel image on the screen.)
