Yva Xorna Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I love robot/computer/AI news so here is a recent article I found that I think is of interest. Computers & the like aren't really smart or dumb-they just are [with the exception of Windows 10 which just sucks but anyway]. So apparently this particular AI was supposed to be taking satellite imagery and making Google maps out of it. It did that, but it cut a few corners and wrote the data into a form our simple eyes can't read. I actually laughed so hard when I read this. I use Google maps all the time. Not 100% on-board with their politics but I absolutely respect the work they have done and they certainly make my life more enjoyable. Yva's First rule of coding: AI will do EXACTLY what you tell it to do. Yva's 2nd rule of coding: if it's not working, you're doing it wrong. There are mechanical failures /electrical interference/ my-desk-is-a-portal-to-the-Bermuda-triangle situations that cancel out those 2 rules but AI "thought" is basically just coded logic and order of operations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0cturnal88 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Pretty fascinating! However, I resent the Windows 10 statement! ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yva Xorna Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 @N0cturnal88 I literally spent 2+ months without a Start Menu after an upgrade for Windows10 . Ok to be fair, last year I didn't encounter any real problems with it but the constant interruptions for updates is annoying and the home-network options are insufficient. It certainly is a step above Windows 8 which was mostly BSOD for me (different computer than this current one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
