<div dir="auto">Dear Krassimir,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thank you for this humorous(?, or sad for AI) take on the nature of AI, and its do-ings. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to keep/take an ‘information science’ perspective on all AI, but which seems wholly missing from current AI thinking.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">For example, if one considers all human activity, from the start, EVERY significant advance involves some form of ‘organizing and presenting information’ . . . and every such advance (each in its own time/right) was extraordinary, remarkable, etc. - even prior to tool use. This latest ‘turn in the road’ as AI is the same-just another way of (tool for) ‘<span style="font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif;font-size:inherit">organizing and presenting information’. It saves us untold hours of having to scour a vast Internet, hungry for useful(?) information. But AI actually invents/discovers nothing-it SEEMS to invent/discover ‘things’ in bringing ‘new to us’ data . . . but ALL of which already exists (good AND bad data) in some form, across a too vast Internet-but perhaps not so easily accessed or imagined by any one person, </span><span style="font-size:inherit;font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif">at any one moment. AI as practiced today is no more than an IMPERFECT ‘information consolidator’. It is NOT a ‘meaning generator’, but it has that appearance. But still, </span><span style="font-size:inherit;font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif">*Informatic Processing* (of MANY types) remains our primary adaptive means, more than for any other animal and placing us apart. </span><span style="font-size:inherit;font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif"> We thus hunger for and heavily laud almost any and all ‘</span><span style="font-size:inherit;font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif">informatic processing’ </span><span style="font-size:inherit;font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif">gain.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size:inherit;font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size:inherit;font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif">I recall reading one of the papers referenced by Shannon 1948 in developing signal entropy and how that paper spoke of ‘transmitting intelligence’ over telegraph lines. How naive that claim of ‘telegraph intelligence’ sounded to my modern ears-and it will come to be the same for today’s AI claims when regarded at a far future date. </span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size:inherit;font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size:inherit;font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif">Marcus</span></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 22 Dec 2025 at 22:49, Krassimir Markov <<a href="mailto:itheaiss@gmail.com">itheaiss@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4">Dear colleagues,<br>I would like to cheer you up a little with an experiment that I just conducted in connection with an international conference that rejects articles based on a program's conclusion as to whether artificial intelligence was used in writing the articles.<br>Well, I decided to check how much we can trust these programs.
