Reading about somebody (“admittedly a technophile”) who uses AI for everything in life. She uses it to plan parties, to tweak cocktail recipes, and to diagnose the failed motherboard in her wine cooler.
FIRST, WHY DOES A WINE COOLER NEED A COMPUTER?????? JUST PUT THE BOTTLES IN THE FUCKING FRIDGE.
Second, a truly intelligent pattern recognition machine would recognize that she’s not a technophile, she’s an alcoholic.
Third, a long-necked insect, maybe a dragonfly or something, is on the outside of my screen door right now, allowing me to watch how it cleans its face and eyes and feelers with its two front legs. I’d rather marvel at this bug’s intelligence in a nearly invisible brain than marvel at the intelligence of a billion CPUs using a billion megawatts to steal a trillion copyrighted texts and pictures.
