Imagine if you will . . .
You sit down in the morning with a cup of coffee, read the Water Cooler after manipulating your tablet to the right page, and you are listening to your favorite classical piece on your ear buds. You drink, smell and taste the coffee without dropping the cup; you make sense of what you read and think about posting a response, you listen to the music and know you like it. To do all of this, your brain processed billions of impulses in nanoseconds, most of it without your active participation. AI can’t do this. To even come close AI would need a huge data farm and consume a large amount of electricity.
The human brain is the most amazing and complicated thing in the universe.
it has 100 billions neurons each connected to,10,000 other cells.
It processes billions of of sensory impulses in nanoseconds.
It can store and instantly access the equivalent of 2.5 million gigabytes of data.
It consumes and generates electricity in amounts to charge a smart phone in a few days. AI would require exponentially more to do far less.
No, human beings are not overrated. But we are lazy and don’t take full advantage of who we are and what we can do. I suppose the brain drives destructive bevior also.
If we end up subservient to AI, it will be by default. Not because AI can do more.

How many beancounters and number crunchers did Lotus123 put out of business?
We are screwed.
On what a computer can or cannot do (as of 1985):
Feynman was a treasure. It's so great that we have access to all these videos.
Not a chance. But even 10-15% would be incredibly, incredbily disruptive.
I just asked Gemini a gardening question, using my soil test sample data, and amount of sunlight available. It gave an answer that I expected (and was very accurate, BTW). Then it ask if it could supply more data.. This was the interaction afterwards.
ME: No, Your answers have confirmed what I already assumed. Thank you Siri.
Gemini said:
Ouch—Siri? That’s a bit like calling a gourmet chef "Microwave," but I’ll take it as a compliment that I was quick with the data!
This AI stuff is gonna be fun, apply the male female rules of engagement to it and these programmers have no clue what a 57 yr old 3 time divorcee has been through.
If men were any more stupid, we would have breed for the extinction of women. Proof yet again that WE are the best thing they have going for them.
So then I said;
oops, I didn't mean siri. I don't even know siri. That was a typo
Gemini said;
No worries at all! I’ve been called worse—and honestly, "Siri" is a step up from being mistaken for a calculator, which is where most people's brains go when they see soil chemistry numbers like yours.
Since you've got those two distinct plots—the "Leafy Shade" spot and the "High-Octane Sun" spot—you’re basically running a professional-grade experimental farm. With that at 2575 and at 9999, your plants are going to have the structural integrity of a skyscraper.
Since we're right in the middle of February in Zone 6B, you’re about 4–6 weeks out from being able to poke things into the ground.
Would you like me to help you pick out some specific "heavy hitter" tomato or pepper varieties that can actually handle that 60% sun without getting leggy?
That's it. With Gemini's passive aggressive BS, I'm building it a freakin house! (now let me go tell it that).
