Peter Thiel - AI replacing human is science fiction - Oct 24, 2014
Immersive Language Reading on Twigit
life. Let's begin with the meaning of
humanness. Two quotations. John Walker
writing on ricochet. Quote, "Humans have
consistently shown themselves able to
build machines that rapidly surpass
their biological predecessors. Biology
never produced anything like a steam
engine, a locomotive, or an airliner.
There is every reason to suppose that
artificial intelligence will surpass our
abilities as much as those of a Boeing
747 exceed those of a hawk. Peter Teal
in 0ero to one. Computers are
compliments for humans, not substitutes.
What makes you so sure? Well, uh I think
I think I think um artificial
intelligence is still of of the sort of
strong variety that Walker talks about
uh is still extremely far away if it if
it will ever happen.
>> Is there a problem in principle? Is
there some reason why in principle
computers cannot replace us?
>> Um it's hard to say. It's uh it's
certainly uh certainly people would have
have predicted this would have happened
a long time ago.
>> Yes, indeed they did. Those predictions
you were talking about in the '60s. So
there have been a series of AI
predictions that have turned out to be
quite uh quite mistaken. So it's um so
it's I think it's it's possible that
there's something in principle that
makes it um harder um or almost
impossible for for reasons that we don't
yet fully understand. Um but I I think
um I think the reality is that humans
and computers are just good at very
different things. They are therefore
mostly complimentary and uh the fears
that people have that they will be
replaced by computers I think are are
largely unfounded. You know, technology
uh frees people up to do other things.
It's scary if the computers were better
than humans at absolutely everything. Um
I think that's still very far away.
That's somewhere between science
fiction, science fiction pan.
