The people on Star Trek ask the computer (AI) questions all the time yet they still come across as highly intelligent and skilled. But if you ask AI questions IRL people think you're an idiot who doesn't want to use your brain. How did Star Trek make AI use seem intelligent and not brain-numbing?
>Star Trek"Computer: solve this problem I define for you.">IRL"Alexa: respond to a question someone else asked with an answer that everyone's claims is true. Faster!"
>>217000509Honestly Trek is more realistic.The AI will hit a limit where it will be super smart, but not godlike/omniscient. It'll probably ask us a bunch of questions to clarify things and to receive no data to synthesize since it'll run out of existing content to work with.It'll be like a really smart expert but with the inquisitiveness of a child (since it's going to need people to generate new data points for it that it's designed to be hungry for (from it's ML regression nature)).
>>217000606if you use ai like this then you need to take an iq test
>>217000509Starfleet computer is not AI
>>217001298It ain't Clippy
Speaking of AI, I'm really liking those fake Japanese gameshows that have been making the rounds.
>>217001815>AI slop that just looks like coomer slop to me TNG fags are winning right now. the holodeck is becoming reality and data will soon be your waifu or husbando
>>217000700congratulations on understanding the premise of the threadplease do not post again for at least two years
>>217000509Data wasn't at the helm, he was Ops.
>>217000509They don't really use the computer to spontaneously generate data on Star Trek unless it's the holodeck. They mostly tell it to retrieve data and analyze it. Having the computer spit out a one line summary of an incident like a systems failure is the closest thing to ChatGPT on trek.
>>217002005>Having the computer spit out a one line summary of an incidentWeirdly, anti-ai idealogues think this is unethical. Weirder still, many of these radicals are also Star Trek fans.How to explain the cognitive dissonance?
>>217001927what's in it for me?
>>217000509>>217002005>They don't really use the computer to spontaneously generate dataThis. The computer doesn't have actual control, either. There's even an episode about how reluctant they are to hand actual control over to the computer to make superhuman calculations on their way out of an ancient space boobytrap. It's the one where Geordie creates a fake Leah Brahms gf on the holodeck to help him solve the problem.
Most of the time, the computer isn't even coming up with a solution. Most of the time it's only presenting information or running simulations based on that information. Pretty sure that was conscious on the writer's part too, since Star Trek champions human ingenuity, creativity, and adaptability. In fact, the computer often flat out states when it can't do something or warns that simulations it runs may be faulty.

>>217000509>Star TrekComputer, how many dicks can OP suck during a Vulcan summer if he sucks one dick every 2 minutes>IRLChatgpt: Why is OP gay and is that ok?
>>217001815>Speaking of AI, I'm really liking those fake Japanese gameshows that have been making the rounds.real Japanese game shows: "we should do this"
>>217000509The coolest thing about the ship's computer in TNG is that it doesn't bullshit you. If it can't answer, it will say so and tell you why. Current LLMs are so far away from that that they'll probably never get there without a complete overhaul of how they're engineered/trained.>>217001815Idols are still made to sit on those vibrating exercise seats... been awhile since it's been on TV though.
>>217000509I don't do questions, i do surgical epistemic inquiry
