Scarlet tanager, instead of a sex robot

I’ve just come back from the eye doctor and I can’t quite see what I’m doing. Neverthless, the blog marches on.

Wasn’t it bad enough just for “sex robots” to exist, without some daft noozie trying to–ahem!–“interview” one? Couldn’t we have been spared this?

Culture Collapse, Continued

God used to send plagues of locusts to punish such follies.

Now He sends us Democrats.

Sorry, No Nooze Today

I can breathe now, so I thought I might report some nooze.

On second thought, uh-uh.

I mean, really! I spend three minutes on the Drudge Report and it’s all “Sex Robot Apocalypse,” Bernie Sanders is gonna be president, and the governor of the failed state of California predicting the total demise of the Republican Party as Democrats take over complete control of America and turn it into a Third World basket case…

I’m just not up for it. I’m not even sure that any of this is “news” as I’ve always thought the word meant. That’s why I type it as “nooze.”

I’ll be taking hymn requests, though.

New Sex Bots to be ‘Indistinguishable from Humans’

Sex robots powered by 5G will be 'indistinguishable from humans' 

Really, now, look at the picture. If you can’t distinguish that from a human, you don’t need a sex therapist–you need an optician.

Sex robots powered by 5G will be ‘indistinguishable from humans’ 

Ah, the nooze! And you wonder why some of us want “long ago” back?

This is supposed to be “the beginning of a synthetic sexual revolution.”

If I spent all day at it, I don’t think I could think of anything we need less.

Kook: Humans to Marry ‘Droids by 2045

Warning: The article from the UK Sun contains material that can only be described as disgusting. Read at your own risk.

Hey! People are “already making love to sex robots”–merciful heaven, is that what they call it?–and robots will soon be able to “surpass” human beings in everything, and will “awaken” by 2035 and soon acquire full civil rights as if they were human… so by 2045, the stage will be set for humans to “marry” androids (https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/6366262/marry-robots-sophia-harmony-hanson-2045/).

It’s all in a paper by some kook of a scientist, released in conjunction with (oh, please) a video game.

“How would you like to be married to a hyper-intelligent hybrid?” asks the “news” article. Gee, would that mean I had totally lost the ability to relate to another human being?

Ever get the impression you took a wrong turn somewhere, and wound up in Oz? In any discussion of “Artificial Intelligence,” the key word, the word that really matters, is “Artificial.” Not real! A mere simulation of reality! And it will not be more “intelligent” than we are, although it could easily turn out to be just as bleeding stupid. 

A chess computer is held to be “good at chess,” for instance, A) because it has been programmed by experts who are real chess masters, B) because it’s a machine, an opponent cannot attack its psychology: it has no psychology, C) it can do chess calculations at lightning speed, almost infallibly picking the best move out of hundreds of possibilities, and D) although it has no genuine insight into anything that happens on the chessboard, it is immune to weariness or boredom and able to repeat its staggering number of calculations every time the situation changes because the opponent has made another move. The chess computer can defeat human players because of those factors listed above. “Intelligence” has nothing to do with it!

Just try explaining that to some numbskull of a reporter.

At best, the quest for Artificial Intelligence is a waste of resources. At worst it is a folly; and a folly can turn around and bite you. Hard.
