    “We are coming up with structures that are complex and look randomly shaped, and when connected with circuits, they create previously unachievable performance. Humans cannot really understand them, but they can work better.

    Great, so we will eventually have black box chips running black box algorithms for corporations where every aspect of the tech is proprietary and hidden from view with zero significant oversight by actual people…

    The true cyber-dystopia.

      Well, that’s kind of like the human brain isn’t it? You don’t really know how it does its thing but it does it.

        Nope, we actually have entire fields of study that focus on the brain and cognition with thousands of experts and decades of research and experimentation to effectively understand a ton about how our brains work and why we behave the way we do.

        Plus, your brain is not created and owned entirely by trillion dollar megacorps with the primary incentive to use it to increase profitability.

          We also know how “AI” works and how it creates its outputs in the same way we know the brain.

          Don’t try to equate having fields of study and experts is definitive knowledge of something, that’s being fallacious.
