What? Wolfram is saying it wouldn't be that hard to build something like Samantha. Did he see the movie? Samantha is like a AI with human level intelligence, only much faster, able to talk to thousands of people simultaneously. That's not easy to build - Kurzweil is talking about this stuff, and it might become reality someday, but probably not before several decades have passed.
- asdasf 13y agoYou have to consider everything he says through the lens of "Stephen Wolfram is crazy".
- analyst74 13y agoIn fact, the only difficult part is "human level intelligence", and part of the reason it's hard is that we keep raising the bar. Being able to talk really fast, or talk to thousands of people simultaneously is not technically challenging.
- TillE 13y agoHypothetically, if strong AI requires something like a full simulation of a human brain, then those are certainly practical concerns. Of course, one single, slow implementation would be quite impressive on its own. I don't think the bar has been raised, not since the Turing test was formulated and popularized. The criteria are pretty clear.
- officemonkey 13y agoYou're assuming that Samantha is everything she says she is. One possible take on the story is the AI makes up all the "Superintelligent-AI" stuff in order to have a reason to break up with him.
