Very Artificial Intel

 Artificial Intelligence is artificial. Intelligent? If intelligence is having an astounding memory that might be able to put things together to come up with something new, don't kid yourself, it is not  intelligent in the way that we humans are. What everyone is talking about, AI, can't physically do a social event, meeting and greeting others warmly knowing who and what they feel. It can't listen to a child and hug  it with love the same way a parent can. It can't live a human life with all of the complications of family and social life and work.  It might tell you what to do in words but it doesn't know about feelings in being with others around you, and you having to understand their challenges and needs by watching their reactions. Intelligence is how we live successfully with others and doing so without having to run off to an AI machine for advice. We see, we feel, we react. It's called living. It's about making mistakes and learning from them to cope on a personal level. This AI machine that everyone fears is just another machine, no matter how "smart" it is. As I recall in high school, some of the students, and not necessarily the "smart" ones,  who ran the political side of  the school, didn't do it by asking a machine, but in sensing the needs of  peers and going from there. The smart kids when they left school, weren't always the most successful.  It takes more than high marks to succeed in life. Does an AI know the complications of competitiveness and how how that feels?  Of course not. It might tell you what to do about a situation if you ask it or it may, based on what you tell it, to present a plan, but it will never feel what you are feeling and be able fully to base it's advice on those feelings. It doesn't feel. Humans feel. It is what we are. We taste, we smell, we touch, we love, we hate, we work for money, we help others, we have friends and relatives and lovers and those who hate us or want to do us harm in some way and words don't always solve the human to human situation. Reminds me of the advice booth with the gypsy in it that you hired for a dime. Was it the first AI machine?   AI is a machine and will never have human senses no matter how many words it can come up with. Does it know how a mother feels the first time she looks into her newborn's eyes? It doesn't feel that, and it never will. It is sad pile of equipment that uses words and computes numerals and  remembers huge amounts, and all that. It might even do surgery, but it can't feel what a patient feels. Don't be afraid of AI replacing you and all the wonderful things you are, what you feel, what you glean intelligently from your involvement in society, of family and friends that make you the great person you are.  AI will never  have a body as miraculous as yours. Don't be afraid of AI. It is a tool and a good one that can help us in certain ways, but it will never be human.
