AI and the case

[thewoo1]

Just wondering does anyone who understands ai think that it can solve the mystery

[FISHY1118]

Good question Woo , I guess for me, given the current topic on the boards atm in regards to suspect scoring , a list of AI,s top suspects based on what is known would indeed be interesting .

Hi Woo,

Welcome to the madhouse.

My understanding of AI is that it is the ultimate deployment of logical deduction. Unfortunately human beings are more prone to the stupidity principle than to logic, as evidenced by recent political developments. The computer game logically picked Levy as the Ripper, but in a chaotic world these principles may not necessarily apply.

Cheers, George

Solve the case, no.

Teach people about the case, absolutely.

More generally, I find great value in the reconstructions of the crime scenes, the way the general area looked, etc. Most of this is the hard work of individuals, but AI could play a role in this. And these reconstructions could trigger insight that may generate new theories.

No. AI is way over-hyped in its abilities. It does not understand the meaning, it only evaluates Grammer, and looks for key words. I tell my students how, if I enter exam questions into things like ChatGPT, it produces answers that fail for this reason. It just grabs a few key words, and then searches for related text, tries to build a response by what shows up most, and as a result misses the point entirely.

Computers are very good at some things, but abstract reasoning isn't one of them.

AI should be completely banned imo. It’s a tool for mass criminality, disruption, mayhem and war. We’ll regret its introduction one day. Big time.
