AlphaGo (AI) - a terrific documentary!

Well worth watching, and full screen.

Thanks for flagging this up, watched it last night, superb!
I’m must start playing Go.

Yes - a moving film.

Watching a totally complete human forced to re assess himself when he realises that his super-brain while crushing other humans is simply a pile of organic mush and that one day we will all serve the machines.

Or was it just me?

Great film, and great reminder.

One day is already here......


Bit like a pilot not having to fly or land a plane unless the computer breaks down, or a astronaut that sits in a armchair until he is docked at the space station. 😉

Interesting film. I wish it had focused a bit more on the implications of AI though. There were a few passing mentions of various benefits that could come from this technology, but little was said of the drawbacks (other than the obvious personal implications for those directly involved in losing to a computer).

This is an interesting web site:

https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/

The site will bring up a photo of a person, that does not exist. Every time you click refresh, it shows a new image of a person that does not exist. These are all AI generated photos.

Video has not yet achieved this level, but it likely won't be long until it does. Then what we see with our own eyes on a screen will always be suspect unless there some sort of digital authenticity watermark system. Just one implication that can be used for good or definitely for bad.

The bigger questions is really when do we give control over to AI? We already do it in small ways, but where does this end? Unfortunately it's something that will be here long before there is enough thought put into it on how it should be handled, and we won't be able to put the genie back in the bottle...

That is just creepy.
