AI is better at recognizing patterns than we are. The brain may be unfathomable to us, but technology already exists which could recognize the signals in your brain that represent memories and reproduce or alter them.

Neuralink and similar devices are being used right now, today, to record the thoughts of animals. The first neuralink patient is alive and well, meaning it's already being used on humans.

Do you really think this technology won't exist in our lifetime?

Do you really think this technology won’t exist in our lifetime?

Yes, absolutely. What you're describing is AGI. If an AI could untangle engrams from branched clusters of extremely plastic neurons, it could understand and improve it's own thinking. It would actually be self aware before it could untangle the mess that our brains are. And I don't see AGI happening with our current material and resource constraints before I die. Seeing brain regions being active and de-novo engram implantation is about as close as an LLM is to AGI.

It is as you say, the scale doesn't even exist at this point

Even the recent fly brain mapping, enhanced with AI, had to take a destructive approach to map a half a milligram brain and these people are thinking matrix reloaded already

Respectfully, this sounds like opinion and doubt rather than a credibly timeline. Other than rattling off industry terms the only support you've given your argument is "I don't see AGI happening". You've collected an impressive shopping basket of buzz words but done little to dissuade me or the engineers developing this technology that it won't be ready within a lifetime. Stay tuned.

Oh, and "its own thinking" not "it's own thinking". His, hers, its.

Your extrapolation has about as much support. I don't really know what bothers you about the vocabulary I used but I can say I don't play much attention to punctuation marks when inputting text with a swipe keyboard on my phone.

"pay much attention" not "play". I'd be more careful with that keyboard if I were you. Wouldn't want to lose any credibility.

I thought I made it clear enough I didn't give a shit.

But you expect us to care about your opinion? Be correct and be nice or you won't get to finish the discussion. It's like a recipe, you have to do the work to get the product.

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

If you primarily engage in typos versus ideas I don't particularly consider you worth discussing anything with anyway.

It's been fun.
