All of it is statistics, there are just added rules to the statistics.
For example
Signal Processing is very statistical heavy (This is why the next level up in knowledge is Statistical Signal Processing) and so is pattern recognition (which is basically ML).
Automated Statistics are used to map and measure features from past training data with the input and give you a decision. The AI is mapping the given input with what it has been trained to respond to. There is a threshold/max response to the given inputs and features computed which becomes your output. Different potential outputs are measured against statistically in the background and the highest value becomes the response.
Anything with a Neural Network is using statistics in the background computing the features.
Classic ML is using statistics much more blatantly. You need to look deeper.
THE DEFINITION OF STATISTICS
Statistics is the discipline that concerns the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data.
Thats exactly wtf every AI is doing. It doesn't have an imagination, it doesn't think up new concepts/ideas/philosophies, it crunches the numbers from past data and whatever input is given.
You mentioned AI can't imagine things. How do you define imagination? The ability to think up something random? If so, AI can do that. It can create stories that have never been written before.
I'm saying make new connections that have never been made before by other humans. Unveiling new truths takes an immense imagination.
Randomly creating stories is not difficult when the AI has been given millions of prompts from books. Have you ever played Dwarf Fortress? That game is not an AI but it also does the same thing making extremely deep stories every time the game is played.
You can have a set structure for a story and options for different parts of the story be randomly generated. This is not imaginative.
Computers/Software have been making new connections never made before by other humans for a while now. But I get what you are saying brother.
It’s not all statistics tho
Quote I was reminded of:
“What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain." - Morpheus - The Matrix
Everything that is a neural network or classic ML uses statistics in its decision-making process. There is no AI without the statistics done in the background.
Yeah but I mean it's not strictly statistics only. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, are you suggesting the part the part that makes it "intelligence" is majority based on the use of statistics? If so that is probably true.
Random thought, one could say the rules programmed into it is it's morals. We didn't create our morals ourselves, they were programmed via DNA, parents and life experiences. So we were programmed too in a sense
I disagree, there is no morals with it just as there are no morals programmed in humans DNA. There's personality and intelligence but not morals.
Morals, values, and principles to uphold change from civilization to civilization. China's morals, values, and principles to uphold are very different from traditional Western Civilization. Ancient Greeks were vastly different in worldview than average Europeans today.
You could say that morals, values and principles is the DNA of a civilization but it is not in the DNA of a person.
The way an AI comes up with an answer has nothing to do with morality. The people training it and preventing the AI from giving certain responses over others is them imposing their own moral view of the world on the AI, and that is terrifying.
