 ChatGPT artificial intelligence

Correcting the public name of AI to an expert system because there is no artificial intelligence, at most we have a random symbol processor which is the name given by the French, in French, for the translation of the expression electronic computer; AI is nothing more than a system, or a subsystem, of algorithms to build hypertexts from a heuristic of previously programmed responses to respond to state changes or, in other words, a system responsive to events, including zero state response .

This discussion about ChatGPT brings us to the other topic of artificial intelligence, they are smart names but transcend the meaning of intelligence that goes beyond the ability to give specific answers to specific problems, therefore, chatGPT is not prepared to solve all construction projects of texts for any category of subjects, the great dream of our 50-year-old generation when I was a student at the Federal University of Brasília Foundation, when we presumptuously founded the first nucleus of studies in the Electrical Engineering department to create artificial intelligence, and soon after At the first meeting of the members of the group, we agreed that artificial intelligence is a task for five centuries from now, and that at most we are looking to build intelligent systems called expert systems on certain very discreet domains of knowledge, such as, for example: a diagnostic system for certain types of cancer; or an expert system to find oil from a set of geological information and inputs; expert systems for drafting judicial petitions and even issuing sentences, this is still a distant dream.

This summary preamble was necessary to clarify that an autonomous vehicle does not have the intelligence and moral subsystems to decide whether in an emergency braking it should divert the car to the right or left towards the sidewalk or to the other lane, being able to avoid the collision or the frontal run over and with this maneuver colliding with the curb to the right or left and perhaps overturning, or colliding or running over sideways while avoiding the imminent accident ahead.

In another situation, or how to distribute three parachutes to five people who are on the crashing plane where the passengers who are candidates to be saved are: a nine-month pregnant mother with her little three-year-old son, an elderly man aged 78, a young 30-year-old civil engineer, and a 16-year-old teenager, who deserves to be saved considering practical and moral issues, potential for survival and other ethical considerations.

The ability of an autonomous car cannot even be compared to the abilities of a carrier pigeon capable of flying from South America to Chile and arriving in the capital of South Africa in Pretoria without using the aid of GPS, GLASNOSS, Galileo, Baidu, or the animals capable of migrating through the African jungle from season to season, or the ability of the Lion to somersault backwards to fight the hunt of a very skilled monkey.

On the other hand, things that artificial intelligence is capable of doing better than skilled human pilots, which is correcting the stability of an aircraft before the plane's pilot notices the loss of direction and millimeter orientation and at the instantaneous speed required in critical flight situations at high speeds, impossible to be detected by the human senses, then the fly by wire sensors do a lot for aeronautical navigability that is beyond human capacity.

Certainly the threat of Artificial Intelligence will be concrete for humanity to the point of controlling and subjugating human civilization and it will happen when the level of heuristic abstraction is such that the robot considers getting a tattoo on its USB output, or developing an electronic genital organ. to copulate with the electric toaster he fell in love with, or the AI computer decides that it is no longer a computer, that it feels like a human being, and that it says its prayers and wants to participate in the services at the Assembly of God “xarabata decubisanta axalallataba God will bless us amen”, now I will be very afraid, because they have reached the most extreme domain of abstraction that is religion and morality. This is AI's most dangerous threat.
