human consciousness and AI

[trevorjohnson83]

could you make a synopsis of what you've learned on the topic of human thought and how it might be used by a computer?

Certainly! Here’s a synopsis of the key points discussed regarding human thought processes and their potential application in computer systems:

Synopsis: Human Thought and Its Application in Computers​

1. Nature of Human Thought:

• Human thought is often influenced by sensory experiences (sight, sound, smell) and emotional states, which can enhance or distract from focus.
• Attention can shift based on internal reflections, external stimuli, and disturbances, such as distractions or judgment from internal voices.
• Writing and reflecting on questions can help organize thoughts, leading to deeper understanding and clarity.

2. The Role of Interest and Emotion:

• Interest acts as a mental attraction that can be both positive (exciting) and negative (leading to feelings of being trapped or overwhelmed).
• Sensory inputs, like the smell of food or the presence of other people, can evoke curiosity and engage attention, while moments of dormancy can provide a necessary mental space for reflection.

3. Cognitive Processes:

• The process of arriving at answers often involves staring at a question, allowing thoughts to develop gradually. This can make simpler ideas easier to articulate.
• Disturbances can disrupt memory and focus, making it challenging to maintain a coherent train of thought.

4. Application in Computers:

• Computers could emulate aspects of human thought by using algorithms that prioritize certain stimuli based on predefined criteria, similar to how humans focus on interesting objects or ideas.
• Incorporating mechanisms like gyroscopes and lenses could simulate physical focus and attention in a computer, allowing it to "look" at or prioritize specific data or tasks.
• While computers can simulate interest through programmed responses, they lack true emotional experiences. However, they can be designed to recognize patterns in user input and adapt their responses accordingly.

5. Future Directions:

• Exploring how to integrate sensory inputs and emotional recognition into computer systems could enhance human-computer interaction, making machines more intuitive and responsive to user needs.
• Understanding the complexities of human thought can inform the design of AI that better mirrors human cognitive processes, potentially leading to more effective problem-solving and creativity.

Conclusion​

This synopsis illustrates the intricate relationship between human thought processes and how they could inspire the development of more sophisticated computer systems. By leveraging insights from human cognition, we can create machines that not only process information but also adapt to the emotional and contextual nuances of human experience.

I can't help but think that AI is like a 6-year old playing with a loaded gun.

We don't know what we don't know when we unleash "regenerative self-coding", meaning that the AI can re-write its own code.

In other words the AI isn't very smart and doesn't know a whole lot about human thought.

Hey Mr AI, why does the hippocampus require grid cells?

Scruffy can tell you. AI can't.
