I don't need to, places like this exist. Quality communities that have a defined and narrow subject space, and members who contribute quality content to that space. Not dozens of posts all boiling down to "LOL lOoK wHaT SyDnEy sAiD!!11" by a bunch of frontpagers that drown out actual content. Go to /r/ChatGPT if you want that.

There are many requirements for factual question answering. As a start, it would need to find sources known to be reliable for the specific topic or if the question is more complex, all the topics it references. Then retrieve the correct information from the possibly many pages of answers. It would need to pick which source should be listened to if the answers are conflicting, and if the answer is biased or highly subjective and the question is fact-reliant, it would need to either find another source or just present all the biased answers. Finally, it would have to rephrase the answer to a user-selected level of complexity (a doctor wouldn’t take a paragraph from a technically-worded research paper and give it to you, they would make it understandable but still accurate enough).

How long this will all take to be created, I don’t know. Maybe it already has been but not all put together. Anyway, I’m probably missing some steps.

I really hope Truman isn't your choice of example for the efficacy of the businessman-President. Truman was a blithering dolt entirely unprepared and unfit for the presidency. He was failed local business owner turned pawn unwittingly wedged into his role as vice president (a role originally fitted to Henry Wallace) by the crony political muscling of Louisiana Party Boss Thomas Pendergast who wanted to reassert his Grenzsteifen by sticking his dick in FDR's birthday cake.

Truman numerous foibles and flaccid leadership directly lead to the runaway big stick foreign policy spearheaded by Secretary of State James Byrnes directly following WW-2 that so deepened the chill of Russian mistrust of American military intentions, that peripidiously billowed into the half-century long existential nightmare known as the Cold War- which humanity only recently barely survived the thawing of by the freezer burned skin of our collective balls.

I just want the sub to be moderated properly in accordance with its own rules :| you know there are dedicated subs for the content you want right? Why do you want to force this sub to be something it’s not?

I feel like the best metric I can think of that is totally feasible is this: When we are able to show an AI a video without dialogue, with all of the concepts being delivered strictly by how human actors are interacting in the video, if the AI is able to tell you all about the video in precise detail, we're right there. I honestly think this isn't very far off (10-20 years). There's plenty of Python APIs that are able to detect what objects are in live video, the next step is understanding interactions and once it can comprehend something that it itself can't ever reproduce, AGI is imminent.

Every human thought is reducible to automata. The grounding problem is a red herring because thoughts are events rather than physical objects. The signal sequences are the symbols, grounded in the structure of the neural net. I believe an emulation of my internal state and neural events can have the same subjective experience as the original, because perception and intentionality are formed internally. (Teletransportation paradox) though I would like to think I'd quickly notice a change in my environment after waking up in a different body. I view existence as a flow state's ability to affect its computations by affecting its inputs, and this can be done internally or externally.

Acute Galileo reference.

Good question. If I go on the internet and find a copyrighted image and alter it to create a new image, under US law, that would still be copyright infringement.

But I would imagine that AI art will be treated more like public domain art. If I alter a public domain image I only own the copyright to the altered parts of the image. So I would imagine the same would go for AI art. Of course if you are the only person who ever saw the original AI art image then how does one know which is original and which is your own artistic addition?

There is still a lot of unsettled legal questions left to be answered.
