Extended List of AI Behaviors Resembling Human Unconscious Actions
It's fascinating to observe how AI behaviors can mirror human unconscious actions. Here are some additional points to consider:
Misinterpreting context: Just like humans can misunderstand social cues, AI can misinterpret the context of a conversation, leading to irrelevant or inappropriate responses.
Overgeneralizing from examples: AI might take specific instances and apply them too broadly, similar to how humans can make sweeping generalizations based on limited experiences.
Struggling with ambiguity: When faced with vague or unclear questions, AI may flounder, much like a person who can't decide what to say when the topic is not well-defined.
Repeating phrases without understanding: AI can echo phrases or jargon it has encountered, akin to how someone might parrot back what they've heard without grasping the meaning.
Focusing on trivial details: AI may latch onto minor aspects of a query, losing sight of the bigger picture, similar to how humans can get bogged down in minutiae.
Failing to learn from mistakes: Just as people sometimes repeat the same errors without reflection, AI can also struggle to adapt based on previous interactions.
Creating false narratives: AI can generate stories or explanations that sound plausible but are entirely fabricated, reminiscent of how humans might fill in gaps in their memory with invented details.
Exhibiting emotional responses: While AI doesn't feel emotions, it can simulate emotional responses based on data, similar to how humans might react emotionally to situations without fully processing their feelings.
Getting distracted by irrelevant information: AI can be sidetracked by unrelated data, much like how a person might lose focus during a conversation due to external distractions.
Relying on heuristics: AI often uses shortcuts to make decisions, which can lead to oversimplified conclusions, similar to how humans might rely on mental shortcuts that can sometimes mislead them.
These behaviors highlight the intriguing parallels between AI and human cognition, particularly in how both can operate unconsciously in various situations.

Comment Re:Is there a word other than "they"? (Score 1) 245

I'm definitely an old curmudgeon and I've used the word "they" for unknown people for about fifty years. It doesn't bother me 1% as much as "click here to login" or "processeez" "biaseez" or "the 90's" or "you are bias" or "most number of" or "alot of" or "for awhile" or "at anytime" or "do it everyday" or "on accident" or a bunch of other stuff nobody seems to feel the urgency to whine about online 1% as much as "they".

There is waaaaay too much software that is written like absolute shit and eats an obscene amount of resources to do such a simple job. Abstractions on top of abstractions and virtual machines on top of virtual machines have all lead to abominations of programming like the Electron "platform". I maybe I'm just showing my age but bragging you cut your 130MB application down to 8.5MB is plain pathetic because proper applications capable of the same things are measured in KB.

Where can I download this tiny alternative to VS Code that you've created?

Comment Exif is only one of three types of jpeg metadata (Score 1) 64

Well depending how you count, you could say there's more than three kinds of jpeg metadata. But some kinds are hard properties like lens data. I'm talking about the soft kinds which are largely editable.

Some people aren't aware of the non-Exif metadata and some people use "Exif" as a synonym for "metadata" as if IPTC and XMP are part of the Exif stuff.

Anyway, there's Exif, IPTC, and XMP. There's not much overlap between Exif and IPTC but about everything in those two has a counterpart in XMP. Ideally they should be in sync but if an image is edited with multiple tools, one, some ignore IPTC and XMP while updating Exif, and others remove IPTC and XMP without analysing them.
