Assistive Incompetence
That is what I think about the 2020s' AI.
In A.I., the I can not stand for intelligence, and for good reasons:
- Your intelligence is your ability to acquire knowledge and skills.
- The knowledge and skills that are the object of your intelligence, are knowledge and skills related to your physical and emotional environment.
- You can acquire physical knowledge and skills about your environment, yourself, and the interactions between your environment and yourself, because you have direct sensory inputs on your environment (the 5 senses) and you can have direct actions on your environment and yourself.
- You can acquire emotional knowledge and skills about yourself, your family, your friends, your acquaintances, and anybody you meet in person (because this is about direct sensory inputs and direct actions – not remote, no avatar mode).
You wouldn't have made everything you have made in your life so far by reading dictionaries, encyclopaedia, and giving advice to people about everything, without first hand experience of anything.
That is what makes your intelligence so different from the AI-shit dreamed by money-makers with the help of the media echo chamber.
So, this is no surprise that Gemini can't properly even blur the faces on a photograph in the guise of anonymising the people on the photograph. The thing cannot replace the faces with faces that look in the same direction! That is the result of the total absence of first hand experience of what is human life. And more Internet content and more computer power will change nothing to that blaring absence that makes the thing not as intelligent as a 5 year old.
So, it is no surprise that neither Claude or ChatGPT can interpret textual information correctly, or translate anything correctly. As to use the adequate tone or words in order to inform the reader of what the author actually thinks, we are far far far away from that capability.
Whoever you are, you are worth more than to let yourself Assisted by these Automated Incompetence tools.
