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  on their platform earlier this year. The key lies in the type of prompt you provide, making prompt engineering a crucial skill. Fortunately, there are AI tools available to assist in this area as well. ChatHub (a browser extension), for instance, offers excellent prompt engineering tools and capabilities.


Empowering Platforms with Assistants:


OpenAI's Assistants feature is another exciting development. For the average user, it means that website and platform owners can easily customize a chatbot or assistant to enhance user experience. These AI-powered assistants can answer user queries, provide assistance, and more. Additionally, the introduction of the GPT Store is intriguing, as it allows platforms to integrate external applications seamlessly. For instance, you can instruct the assistant to send a text message to your boss notifying them of your absence. While similar features have been seen in platforms like Bard, GPT takes it to the next level.

The Challenge of Widespread Adoption:


Despite these remarkable advancements, widespread adoption remains a challenge. Many of the cutting-edge AI models and tools are primarily developed for creative developers and tech-savvy individuals. Attempts by companies to integrate AI into everyday apps, such as Snapchat's AI features or Twitter's recent introduction of Grok, have not met with significant success. Consider your own usage of Snapchat – how often do you engage with their AI chat bot?

The Current State of Artificial Intelligence:

In conclusion, while artificial intelligence is undoubtedly "intelligent", it has yet to reach the level of human understanding. At present, AI can be seen as more of an "Artificial IntellTool," serving specific purposes within defined parameters. As we marvel at the progress made in the field, it's important to acknowledge that AI is still a far cry from achieving human-like intelligence. However, the advancements discussed in this blog post undoubtedly contribute to the evolution and potential of AI.



I appreciate your company on this journey through the realms of intelligence, with a particular focus on AI. In our upcoming blog, we'll delve deep into the domains of neuroscience and psychology, unraveling the uniqueness of human intelligence. Rest assured, the world is not on the brink of an apocalypse, and the robots are not plotting to overthrow us. So, sit back and relax.

Written with the Help of Poe, Claude and GPT. The free versions of the models.

Gladiatorial Bloodlust to Shared Cheers: The Enduring Allure of Stadium Game

Image
Since the dawn of civilization, humans have possessed an inherent desire for competitive entertainment. This need has evolved over centuries and continues to shape our culture and values. This blog post delves into the history and psychology behind our penchant for games in stadiums and how it continues to influence society. The origins of stadium games can be traced back to the ancient civilizations of Rome and Greece. The most notable example is the bloodthirsty spectacle of gladiator fights in Rome's Colosseum. These battles, often to the death, provided a perverse sense of amusement for the masses. Yet, the role of gladiator games in Roman society extended beyond entertainment. They symbolized power, dominance, and control over life and death. The roar of the crowd and the thrill of victory enthralled the citizens of Rome, creating a collective experience that forged a shared identity. As societies evolved, so did their tastes. The barbarism of the gladiator games was eventuall

The world doesn't care how good you are...

All this talent, everything You are, and yet I still can't even land a job or be accepted. You've done it all: - Started Your own business and ran it for 12+ years. - Pursued music and released mixtapes—You are actually really good, if I say so myself. - You are programmer, like you can actually code - You are designer. Like you can actually design - Have podcasts. - Created tons of creative content. - Studied everything under the sun, that interests you and saw it through at that. from pyshcology to huamn behaviraol biology to philosophy, like you may not know alot but you know a bit Yet despite all that, the world still doesn't seem to care. Because it's not talent, hard work, or creativity that makes the world care. It's about money, status, who you know, and sadly, what color your skin is. No one cares if you started your own business and employed people and gave people a start, unless it made it to Forbes. No one cares. No one cares if your music is really good

on the edge

My Journey from a 3rd World to Canada People say you get to know who is there for you in times of need. Well, I'm currently learning that the hard way. Backtrack a couple of months ago, April 8th to be exact, when I got on a plane and landed in Canada. My high school friend, conveniently named Emmanuel as well, offered me a place to crash at his home for a month and two weeks. Equipped with only a visitor visa and a dream for the future, I ventured into the unknown land. Back home, I left a company I’d been running for 12 years, a two-bedroom house fully furnished with a 65-inch TV, a 7.2 surround sound system with Dolby Atmos, a kitchen the size of entire apartments in Toronto, a car, two maids, a PA, and an office on the top floor of the newest, shiniest building on my street. And at this point, most of you must be thinking, what a dumb decision to leave all that behind. Oh, did I mention my supermodel-looking, tall, thin Rwandese girlfriend? Yeah, life was good. But I wanted mor
