On intelligence and understanding

Achievement of fresh months or years – AI (artificial intelligence) or artificial intelligence. By definition, artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence shown by computing units, computers or computer networks. Recently, the word and subject are very fashionable.

Interestingly, the subject of artificial intelligence is old, known for years, if not for tens of years. AI is based on neural networks – very clever programs mimicking the network of neurons in the brain – which, like our brain, have the property of self-learning. The thought of interesting, but applicable applications came only now with the improvement of processors. Intel's first 1979 commercial 8088 processor produced by the 3 μm process had 29,000 transistors. This processor is the start of home computers. In the West. Not here. We had a leading strategy – socialism and PR. rather the first Intel processor from 1971 code: 4004 counted only 2,300 transistors! In 10 years, Intel has increased the number of transistors a small over 10 times. An crucial parameter: 3 μm (micrometer, 10^-6 m) is the alleged way size, so let's say the minimum distance between transistors in the processor. Today, any inexpensive calculator purchased at the supermarket has more transistors than the celebrated 8088.

Modern CPU processors like Apple M4 (2024) - process 3 nm, has 28 billion transistors. In just over 50 years, the number of transistors has increased 10 million times! And the way size has decreased a 1000 times to 3 nanometers (nanometer, 10^9 m)! The first number throws on its knees (10^7) but the second 1 seems to be only a 1000 (10^3) but from a physics point of view it's a more awesome achievement. It's amazing. In a computer, the laptop usually has 2 processors: the alleged main processor – CPU and graphics processor – GPU, which is thought to be image processing. The GPU is many times more powerful than the CPU, and it is assumed to work multi-compulsory, parallel, which is essential to process the powerful data stream essential for the smooth display of graphics in demanding games of the latest generation. NVIDIA's latest GPU processor - Blackwell B200 counts over 200 billion transistors, a 3 nm process. Almost 10 times as many transistors as the CPU.

If individual does not play challenging games, or plays sporadically and in older titles, this immense computing power lies in the fallow. For example: I stopped at the phase of Tetris games, or akin puzzles, and I seldom play it. I'm not attracted to or drawn to killing shadows on the screen. But I bought my laptop with a good graphics card and a powerful GPU processor that sleeps in my dream. It's kind of like buying a supersport car, reaching 350 km/h, and utilizing it occasionally for rides around the area at cyclist speed. Isn't it better to buy a bike? I have a bike, too. So I bought a good GPU, although I don't usage it due to the fact that I can afford it. Like many others.

The trend of fresh years is unification: CPU + GPU in 1 processor. Makes sense. Moor's law says that the number of transistors in processors doubles all about 2 years, at the same cost. And while many have declared his death, Moor's law has been in force for almost 50 years, since the 8088 processor, and it's been robust. 1 more thing: cores and threads. The 8088 processor had 1 core, it was 1 processor. Simple. Modern CPUs number up to a 100 cores (100 physical processors in 1 system) and twice as many threads. Watek is simply a logical processor. Each physical processor is divided into 2 independent logic processors. Very clever engineering trick – programming, doubling CPU performance. Commercial, present the mostly available processor has 8 – 16 cores and 16 – 32 threads. Powerful computing power, which besides most frequently sleeps like a sleaze. In a year, 2 will scope 50 cores and 100 threads in the price-available CPU processors.

For GPUs – designed to process parallel powerful conscientious data – the situation is drastically more powerful. We remember NVIDIA's GPU - Blackwell B200 counts 24,576 CUDA cores. Don't ask me what a CUDA is. You can Google it, say it's an simple graphic process. shortly Blackwell B200 will be obsolete like today's 8088 processor. Never head the technique. It was, it wasn't: GPUs are perfect for neural networks and AI. Without powerful and multi-threaded AI GPUs, it wouldn't have been made. Finally, the programmers drove the GPU to a real job. Modern Internet: fibre optic or Wi-Fi developed this way due to downloading films, mainly porn. I've written about it before. Artificial Intelligence AI may have been created through computer game geeks – fat people with fat hair eating pizza and stuck hours before monitors, tapping the keyboard and demanding more power, more frames per second, more resolution! More and more... That's how the movies show it. But there are most likely comparatively average video game amateurs. I most likely don't know the environment at all.

Laziness, stupidity, promiscuousness and crazy maniacs – the engine of development? Well, I guess so. I talked about the CPU and the GPU, and it was expected to be a deal. AI – without getting into technology – is simply a way of communicating with individual else. We usually communicate with another man. We communicate or we don't communicate. It's different. Family, family, friends. At work, at home, on the street. Parents – children agreement. Male – female agreement. Is it possible? any say that women are a different species, so specified an agreement is not possible. Evidence? erstwhile you yell on the street, man! No female will know. And men do. It's an old joke, that's what I mean. I like the biscuits. AI is simply a different quality. This is where we communicate with the computer, with the computer program. Not human. Really? AI is simply a program created by people and for people. Trained, trained, or trained in a long process. So it's like a image created in our image, spelled in scrolls of algorithms. Our reflection in the (common) planet of transistors.

To communicate with AI means that we communicate not with a single man, but with people, with all the wealth of humanity, the good and the bad. Almost everything. Depends on what account you have, whether you pay or not, and what questions you ask. Intelligence depends on pockets. A proportional relationship. Or linear. It has always been known that the rich are smarter, prettier and mostly better – to say so. And it doesn't change anything, it's our reflection. How can you gain respect, respect, admiration for your intelligence or knowledge? How do you get your beauty admirators that haven't been noticed so far? consecutive way. We gotta get the money. Make a fortune. The more the better. The more crucial numbers in the account, the more respect and intelligence. A rich AI is completely unnecessary. They're like stars, they don't request individual else's glow.

Apart from the money issue and focusing on questions. Is it possible to agree with AI? Is it possible to communicate with 1 another? Of course I do. Against all odds, women are from Venus and men from Mars. They're different alien species. In the next text, I will focus on the second answer: of course not. But let's be positive, let's be positive. Let the glass be half full today. The proof, 1 of many, of people's communication is the amazing, fantastic improvement of integrated circuit technology. This surge of transistors in the processor 10 million times in little than 50 years. Moor's law, which inactive applies. It is due to the combined effort of tens of thousands of engineers and scientists from the solid body, semiconductors, lithography, optics, lasers, programming, modeling, etc. A immense manufacture with hundreds of thousands of employees in many countries, mainly Taiwan, South Korea, China, USA, with yearly incomes of 650 billion. USD more than 2/3 of Poland's GDP. The semiconductor manufacture generates gross in the order of a country of average size.

These specialists communicate, exchange information, buy and sale technologies, make fresh discoveries, fresh technological and industrial instruments. The Tower of Babel exists and is well. It's building and growing. Should the story of Babel Tower be revised? According to Genesis, men in Babylonia began to build a tower reaching up to heaven as a sign of the unity of men, showing their power and strength (Genesis 11: 1 - 9). People were called equal to God, and God confused their tongues and scattered them all over the earth. People stopped to realize each another and the Tower of Babel fell. Metaphorically, the Tower of Babel means an impossible undertaking. Processor improvement shows that this is not true. Incidentally, the improvement of AI means the creation of real-time electronic translators. The curse of many languages spoken by men, this clever decision of God to teardrop down the Tower of Babel, ceases to work. Despite many languages, people communicate perfectly. In technology, in science, in life. The first meta or universal language to describe the physical reality created by man is mathematics. AI translators are sad news for philologists, translators from various languages. Why survey abroad languages for years erstwhile you can buy, install the program? In a translation demanding, literary or artistic, the human origin is inactive irreplaceable. But it's a tiny part of human work that explains it.

Another example. We, the people surviving in the communities surrounded by networks of invisible links, as though in an unpaved web. Family, children mean that men and women communicate somehow. They get along, at least sometimes. They are not of two, but of 1 common planet. Kids are growing. They're going to school. One, two, then college. They become doctors, engineers, accountants or philologists. By communicating. Learning and teaching. Many another examples. Yes, people communicate, they live socially through understanding, information exchange. Our full development, the emergence and the growth of civilization is proof. The curse of the jealous, vengeful Jehovah (JHWH) does not work? I think so. Or it's not rather effective. Different. God (JHWH) did not renounce the eventual curse by which man would not communicate with man. Then we'd be extinct. As humanity and men. He just confused, created different languages. He didn't want to exterminate people. Just divide them and distract them.

So can we communicate with AI? The answer is obvious. If we can communicate with each another and AI is our mirrored reflection, we will besides communicate with AI. More. AI was created to communicate with her, to ask her questions. To answer those questions. It is simply a language model. Which has the resources of the full net at its disposal. In fact, all these AIs an extended version of the net browser known for years. AI was created as a tool for communication with the user, with man; learned, trained on human texts, so it has a built-in common language. He's the language. It's his essence. A bike without wheels that doesn't ride is no longer a bike.

So, yeah. The answer is of course positive. It's like, uh, it's why it's expected to be later. In the past, the net search engine could include e.g. "laptop promotion". The search engine spit out the found links without order or storage. present you can write: "A laptop in the price from... to... with a nth generation processor with a graphics card specified as this and a RAM memory not little than...". AI will realize the order and find something! It'll make sense. Isn't that large progress? Same way you can buy shoes, pants or anything. Are AI, different AI clones truly intelligent? Well, the question of assessment, or the definition of what intelligence is. Artificial Intelligence has large advantages compared to average man. It has the resources of the full Internet. So it is easy for him to shine the glow of individual else's cognition and intelligence. Like the Moon, it shines with borrowed sunlight.

But don't most people do the same thing? How do the moons tell others to shine wisdom? Do they repeat unknowingly or deliberately another people's thoughts as their own? I personally know people as well or little intelligent than AI booties. 1 could say that the ability to borrow and mention another people's ideas as 1 of the more accurate definitions of intelligence. So is the ability to lie. AI can besides lie, so be careful. The ability to lie can besides be a redefining of intelligence. Animals can't lie, so they're not smart. In the AI world, it was called a neat hallucination. Lying as a hallucination? Not a bad idea. So AI is intelligent due to the fact that he is like us people. It is our mirrored and (still) somewhat impaired reflection in the planet of algorithms, currents and transistors. Intelligence considerations. About her definition. What intelligence is and what it is not is another subject. Not for today.

Finally, a simple and affirmative thought. We can communicate with people and communicate with AI. The glass is half full. Let's usage AI as a useful tool. Much more convenient than average net search engines, although they besides have their advantages. And if we learn something fresh about it, if AI repeats another people's thoughts or ideas, the better. Millions of ants or termites build immense mounds. Millions of workers, scientists, engineers uphold Moor's law. Good. At least we will benefit from the fantastic improvement of the semiconductor industry. Let's just enjoy what's here. That besides counts. affirmative thinking.
