[QUOTE="JR777, post: 3601095, member: 45725"] Haha, no. If there's one thing we learned from the Cambridge Analytica scandal it's that this AI stuff is really effective at getting inside people's heads. It can process millions of times more information than we can and notice patterns that we miss just because our brains aren't capable of processing that much data. So like for example, you could write an algorithm that instructs the AI to find weaknesses in a targeted individual. Let's say your humint operations have revealed that General Soandso is prone to depressive episodes, during which he makes bad choices. Drinks too much, bets on the ponies, uses prostitutes and pornography, whatever. A human would maybe try to like sneak a honey pot in or something like that. Whereas an AI might actually be able to trigger a depressive episode. Let's say the guy's depression stems from something that happened to him as a kid. Maybe his dad abused him. Maybe something bad happened on a duck hunting trip. The AI doesn't even have to have that information to notice a trigger. All it has to do is process lots of data and notice patterns, like seeing ducks or references to duck hunting correlate to this guy's pornography consumption. And I'm sure that's an extremely simplistic example. In reality it's way more subtle than that even. In truth, I don't think anyone really understands how it works, just that it does. That's actually a common thread with AI. Nobody really knows how it does what it does, and it can't explain it to us obviously. All we know from the CA scandal is that it works really well, and in very mysterious ways. [/QUOTE]
