AI being questioned (Page 2): I read a sci fi story many years ago about a group that simulated a brain. There were a couple of wires they did not know where to hook up

I read a sci fi story many years ago about a group that simulated a brain. There were a couple of wires they did not know where to hook up - they attached a microphone and head set to them. One of the researches learned to talk to the computer. He told no one. They carried on a conversation for a long time. One day the computer ask
"How many kilowatts has God."

For every software programmer, there are hundreds of hackers. Sadly, many of the hackers are foreign agents. The problem with more and more dependence on AI is that it opens more and more doors for hackers that glean data or who have malicious intent. Banking, power grids, armament, airlines, satellites, and military craft are all highly software dependent and are prime targets for evil-doers to take over.

Just give a check out person $20.25 for a $10.25 purchase.

My wife has confused so many cashiers by doing that, for example $28.16 for a $18.16 purchase. They try to give back the $0.16 then another $9.84. They have even argued with her that it would short thr register to give her a 10.

Once in Popeyes to get some chicken I did that, the checker had already hit enter so he had to try and figure it out, called his manager over, who must have all of 20 minutes older and after 5 or so minutes, with me giving them a free maths lesson, they arrived at an answer, I asked if it was right, yes said they, it was right, so I got my chicken and my change and $1.50 for the lesson.

I'm inclined to agree. The current "AI" is just an advanced search and sort algorithm, impressive and a bit scary because people are too easily impressed with this sort of technology.

Actual AI when it arrives, and I think it will, will probably not be created directly by people, the internet with so many advanced specialty systems interconnected will just become self aware. Sort of like SkyNet, or as I'm more inclined to think more Earth Central in Neal Asher's Gridlinked universe. The Quiet War.
