AI is not smarter than us

Does anyone remember LexisNexis? I used this service 30 years ago for school and it is still around. It compiled relevant source articles pulled from newspapers, journals, court documents and so on. It did not have the fancy front end that compiled and formatted info but it worked the same. I prefer looking at the source material over AI output. AI is not new.
 

AI is not smarter than us​

I've thought about this statement then thought about the amount of idiots out there......

I've been thinking about idiots and door knobs too. Hard to choose....

If you consider that many of the intellectual tasks we once had to do supposedly soon will all be done by AI and the menial backbreaking tasks to robots. That leaves us to do exactly what? If humanity at large is redundant what does redundancy entail exactly? If a lump like me can see that looming I'd guess that the trillions of dollars poured into AI are keenly aware of it.

Strange then that no-one is talking about the elephant in the room. Not either side of the combined criminal class in power anywhere on the planet.
 
There are historical examples of what humans do with more time and most of them are increases in cultural productivity. During the Industrial Revolution, as working hours gradually declined in the 19th and 20th centuries, people acquired something historically unusual: substantial leisure time. What did they do with it? They created enormous hobby cultures like, gardening, photography, amateur astronomy, reading for pleasure, and playing musical instruments.

A lot of people died in wars during that period also. Is substantial leisure time responsible for everything or does it get to cherrypick just the good stuff?
 
Maybe it's smart enough to not let you know how smart it is. The people that are developing it really don't even know how it works. That's what I find disturbing.

But is there typically leisure time during wars?

Don't try and move the goal posts. You nominated a time period. Said that within that time period leisure time increased. I'm just pointing out that a lot of unfavourable outcomes arised within that time period you nominated. Not just the favourable thing you cherrypicked.

Was leisure time responsible for the wars?

The goal post wasn't moved. You introduced a red herring (war). And now you are introducing another red herring by referencing child labor when it was that latter part of the Industrial Revolution that created the leisure time. The beginning of the IR actually reduced leisure time. Essentially that part of the IR is an example of a time when there was no leisure time. Leisure time increases cultural productivity, and I'm not breaking any new ground here by stating that. Honestly, I thought everyone knew that. It's an accepted fact in the scientific community. It's one of the Sociologists and Historians favorite topics.
