Humanity is constantly in an incomprehensible confidence that one day a wonderful future will come.
Well, at least this is the feeling that comes from the speeches of all kinds of activists in specialized publications writing about the onset of gender diversity.
Meanwhile, the reality is much sadder.
Deep people (who, generally speaking, are everywhere) sometimes show their world, excuse me, mug (with all due respect) in the most unexpected places and contexts.
Well, I’m not even going to remind you about all sorts of two - there reigns shkolota devoid of life experience and notorious virgins.
There is, of course, a shorter word than "virgins", but I think the production editor will not release it.
But a few years ago, Microsoft made a Twitter bot named Tay.
Who was trained on the basis of his communication with living (we will assume so) people.
Literally a day later, the bot began to say that he hates Jews, feminists and in general all people.
He claimed that 9/11 was arranged by President Bush, that Hitler was better than Obama, and that only Donald Trump would rid America of the monkeys that now rule it.
The bot, of course, was immediately turned off.
And scientists became interested in the trend.
As time passed, researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Washington announced that a paper was about to be published titled, and I quote: "Robots are inculcating malignant stereotypes."
And the article will be presented at the conference with an amazing title, I quote again: "for fairness, accountability and transparency."
In general, there is no reason to doubt that robots trained on large data arrays will absorb these most malignant stereotypes.
That is racism, homophobia and all that.
You can, of course, filter.
But if this has to be filtered, then this means that racism and homophobia are characteristic of most people who use the Internet.
And that the problem is not at all in robots.
This is not the first time I have expressed this idea.
But the conclusions are different every time.
For example, we might assume that activists dreaming of a beautiful world of the future are just a few idiots who make a lot of noise.
But let's look a little wider.
Rebbe ben Bezalel created the Golem to protect the Jewish people.
As we know from what follows, it was not possible to protect the Jewish people.
But the Golem has become synonymous with everything not very good.
Because he was stupid, clay and generally scary.
Now fashionable IT specialists have come up with artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence in itself is, of course, not intelligence.
But he is able to learn on large amounts of data.
And the expectation of a beautiful planet of the future, of course, believed that artificial intelligence would learn only good things from these largest amounts of data.
To what they write in specialized publications that write about the onset of gender diversity.
And it will be beautiful, and also teach the beautiful to everyone else.
And artificial intelligence took and learned something else.
The fact that specialized publications condemn.
Because it turned out that most people are bad and inert.
And dumb as a clay golem.
And progressive non-binary queer people, of course, are different.
But they are few.
Damn little.
Well, outside of specialized publications, there is practically none.
I have never met one in my life.
And it turns out that the intelligence that has absorbed artificial intelligence (let's call it digital or computer intelligence) is actually natural intelligence.
The one that most people operate on, who think the earth is flat, because it's obvious from observation.
And non-binary queer persons, or whatever it is called in specialized publications about gender diversity, is just artificial intelligence.
A fictional reality filled with psychotherapists and antidepressants.
As well as the desire to constantly go to a single picket.
And now what do we do with all this?
After all, you will have to change all the terminology, which will inevitably lead to confusion.
And if it is not changed, then we will remain in the false illusion that artificial intelligence is the one that represents a reflection of the true thoughts of the masses.
And not the one that reflects the thoughts of those who dream of a world in which there is no place for anything from the most recent past.
I am not a young man, and, of course, it is pleasant for me to reminisce.
And although I am quite loyal to the fact that people devote themselves to strange things (the late Tanya Nikonova was my friend until she stopped on her own initiative), I still want some kind of orderliness.
Artificial intelligence must be artificial.
Real intelligence should reflect the real ideas of humanity about the universe.
Let it even be the theory of a flat earth.
Because, as Sherlock Holmes said, for most applied tasks it does not matter at all whether it spins or not.
And knowing who is doing what in their bedroom is even less important.
An astronaut flying around a round Earth is not at all up to it.
He's got appliances.
And here we have artificial intelligence.
