[Fis] cognitive limitations

[Pedro C. Marijuán]

Thanks, Lou, for your 'armchair' experiment. My initial reading in the 
screen, was of open mouth and incredulity (and some mistrust realizing 
that every response starts by a kind and flattering consideration on the 
question itself). After printing and re-reading, I do not know what to 
say. It is like talking with a faked superhuman creature. Chilling. So 
many questions one could ask on these machine responses... Trying to be 
practical:

1. Could we organize the discussion on the various fundamental AI 
aspects? My suggestion is that anyone willing to address one of those 
aspects, send me a working title and two or three commenting lines (no 
more). If so, I would order the received proposals and we could devote 
2-3 weeks to any of them, involving our usual mixing and 'tangents'.

2. About directly involving AI in these debates, it may be problematic, 
but probably doable by some dedicated work of our 'expert' colleagues, 
such as Lou has done. There is an inconvenient regarding the longish 
texts that are easily created by AI. This necessarily kills our 
attention span. And may create trouble with our list server (see that 
just in case I have deleted the body of Lou's message).

3. The problem of meaning and syntax, and creativity by the machine, 
with the 5 points provided by the machine itself on possible avenues... 
are so amazing. Would it be possible for the machine to detect its own 
creativity and the impacts it may generate in the conceptual world and 
even more in the practical world where human action and human life reside?

Are we in the verge of a brave "New History"?

Best--Pedro
