It is the process of rapidly ever improving differentiation between noise and signal patterns and constant generalization of those that produces intelligence, not merely compression of data. [D]

Until we can design a mathematical system with one unavoidable intrinsic goal that drives it with undeniable force and encode that to hardware, plug it into a simulator of raw data, and give it the initial faculties to form, store, manipulate and alter all patterns based on its own feedback with no restriction on developing new faculties; all this AI noise will only serve investors accumulating wealth.

The currently required data sanitization and filtration, and the missing intrinsic unavoidable goal, kill the very base requirement for intelligence to emerge as we see and value it in humans.

Of course if that happens, new questions arise: human safety from conflict with the system; not just the current concerns which are human misuse related; and what ideology to follow while deciding the goal. But those could be dealt with, given we have the base.

For the present situation of things: the current increasing productivity automation is ofcourse undeniable. But that should not be a bad thing if we look towards the long horizon of things. People enjoy cooking, and if doing the dishes and the prep and the shopping were to be automated, it should only make things better. Ofcourse if we can figure out a way to tackle the unemployment and resource access problem and thus wealth concentration, for people that were too specialized for the old system of labour.
