  • potatoguy@potato-guy.spacetoAsk Lemmy@lemmy.world•Considering that AI is "hallucinating", and able to make up information that seems true based on what the model was trained on, what is the difference between current AI and the human brain?

    How a brain that works and learns (differently) since inception (creating new paths between neurons or strenghtening paths, adapting to every touch, sound, temperature, body position, smell and image it ever experiences) different from multiple matmuls that calculate an optimization path based on dual numbers (to get the gradient to descend) and different path seeking algorithms like ADAM?

    Idk, but I think that it has a different way of learning and being, a child learns by being with others, it experiences things, their brains are wired in such a way to learn those things, they make errors and are corrected, so they learn to not make things up or they start to make things up on their own on what they learned, there isn’t a model on what there is to be learned, there isn’t a focus, just living. Machine learning algorithms learn by trying to predict the next token (not even learning wrong things and getting corrected, its like those kids who when they don’t know something they just make something up, not having learned to be wrong), the optimal way to guess a color on a upscaled image, to denoise a image to match a prompt, etc. These are very different in my understanding.

    I believe (in 5 trillion years) that if wires could be wired in such a way to reorganize themselves based on simply by existing, like our brains, not matmul*100 trillion, these wires being a “robot” brain and the “robot” just being and being teached by a society that sees this “robot” like any person we see today, I believe this “robot” would turn out to be just like a person. Our brain is physical, with nothing special about it, if it takes another form, like the “robot” brain, it would behave in the same way.

    So, in my idiotic opinion, the scope of the thing, what is the relation with the environment, what it does, how it does, makes it different than what a person would do, be, etc. I’m probably 300% wrong, so yeah.

    Give money transaction/banking data to anyone like you said and this will become a huge crime problem. Money is a huge risk for any information to be given, I bet it’s like this all around the world. “But the cops”, the cops of today can steal based on that information or commit other financial crimes.

    You can’t trust almost anyone with any financial data, not because of privacy, but because it can cause a very large problem, not human rights problem, but destabilizing country economy problem. Have you ever seen people getting jailed at your job? I have seen in mine.

    In Brazil, people use pix (online governmental instant payment) to pay for drugs, so i guess in China people use wechat and alipay too. It is not like the government watches every transaction made.

    Edit: Also, the volume is HUGE, in Brazil we have at least 2k payments per second made with pix, in China it should be even bigger, so if there isn’t an investigation, i think the government won’t look at specific payments, like a guy paying for prostitution.
