AI as "Alternative Intelligence"

Image
 "Alternative Intelligence" - June 4th 2023 We are on the cusp of outsourcing intelligence, yet everyone is focused on the wrong aspects of this seismic change. Plus Why are psychologists, Human behavioral scientists, and the like, not deeply engaged in these discussions? Anyway. Like most, or non of you, I have been following developments in artificial intelligence with great intent,  cough , I mean interest for some time. As someone fascinated by human psychology, behavior, intelligence, and the workings of the mind, I have been intrigued by the rise of these, because they might not be human-like intelligence, but at the end of the day,  they're some kind of "intelligence".    But too much of the discussion has centered on the artificial component of AI.  Instead, we should rebrand the AI  term as “Alternative intelligence” to shift the conversation toward how we can harness its power rather than stoke fears about it. Words matter, names matter; how people thi

  Utilize AI apps and platforms before they become commercialized and unpleasant As many of you can remember, around 10 years ago, the internet and mobile apps, in particular, were a very different experience. The industry was exploding, and development was driven by innovation. Apps didn't have annoying ads, they weren't data-hungry and intrusive as they are today, and the whole experience of downloading and using an app was generally exciting and enjoyable. Fast forward to today, and it's the complete opposite. These days, before you even get to use an app, it's already asking you for your name, a thousand permissions, credit card details, and even your blood type. It's already pushed 1000s ads on you and is already in the background getting other information that you haven't really allowed it to get and being intrusive as uncomfortably as possible. Sadly, that's the reality of the internet today. Every app does this, and if you think they don't, I hav

📢 Utilize AI apps and platforms before they become commercialized and unpleasant 🚀

  📢 Embrace AI Apps and Platforms before they become commercialized and lose their charm! 🚀 Do you remember the early days of the internet and mobile apps, around 10 years ago? The thrill of exploring new apps, free from annoying ads and intrusive data collection? It was an exciting and enjoyable experience. Fast forward to today, and the landscape has drastically changed. Before you even get to use an app, it bombards you with requests for personal information, credit card details, and even your blood type. It's disheartening to see how apps have become intrusive and ad-driven. Fortunately, we are currently witnessing the golden age of AI apps and platforms. They are free to use, devoid of ads, and offer a genuinely delightful user experience. Take, for instance, apps like HeyPi and Perplexity, which allow you to enjoy the power of AI without requiring excessive permissions or logins. Even those that do require sign-ups remain in the sweet spot, respecting your privacy and offer

AI as an "IntelliTool" Rather than Truly Intelligent

  "Artificial  Intelligence  IntelliTools: AI as an "IntelliTool" Rather than Truly Intelligent" - Part 1 Introduction: Welcome to my blog, where we dive into the world of artificial intelligence and what it means for  Intelligence as a  broader concept . In this post, I'll share my personal observations and takeaways from the OpenAI Dev Day, shedding light on the advancements made in the field. While AI is often touted as highly intelligent, I believe it falls short of our human-level understanding. Let's delve deeper into the topic. The Power of Custom Bots and Prompts: One of the highlights of the OpenAI Dev Day was the introduction of GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers). Essentially, they are customizable bots that respond to specific scenaries. However, this concept is not entirely new. Platforms like Poe, by the creators of Quora, have offered similar functionalities since their inception. In fact, I played around with it and created  my own bot
