Artificial Intelligence Quotes – Reflections and Insights

"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships."

Michael Jordan

"Ours is the age which is proud of machines that think and suspicious of men who try to."

Howard Mumford Jones

"I had a great time creating the future on 'Minority Report,' and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would."

Steven Spielberg

“The reality is that none of these companies […] are actually earning any real money. The little revenue they generate mostly comes from consulting missions […] as opposed to genuinely harnessing any advantages that quantum computers have over classical computers. […] nobody has yet come close to building a quantum machine that is actually capable of solving practical problems. The current devices are so error-prone that any information […] will almost instantly degenerate into noise. […] A convincing strategy for overcoming these errors has not yet been demonstrated. […] it is unclear as to when — if ever — it will become possible to build a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer. […] It is unclear what commercially-useful problems can even be solved […] if any. […] the quantum computing industry has yet to demonstrate any practical utility, despite the fanfare […] it became progressively more tempting for scientists to oversell their results […] a highly exaggerated perspective […] reached the mainstream […] greed and misunderstanding taking hold […] at some point the claims will be found out and the funding will dry up.”

Nikita Gourianov

"Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible."

Alvin Toffler

"The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations. Let's stop calling it Artificial Intelligence and call it what it is: Plagiarism Software. It doesn’t create anything, just copies existing works from artists and alters them sufficiently to escape copyright laws. It's the largest theft of property since Native American lands by European settlers."

Noam Chomsky

"And with the technical possibilities available nowadays – which are truly gigantic – no one can say for sure whether something is really as it is presented. In the past, when I was still young, one could – within limits – still rely on the authenticity of images. Not anymore today! Today, there are even techniques that allow you to insert things that aren't there and make things that are there disappear during live broadcasts. I happen to know this very well because this patent was developed at the TU Ilmenau, and I sit on the university council there."

Gabriele Krone-Schmalz

"You cannot endow even the best machine with initiative; the jolliest steamroller will not plant flowers."

Walter Lippmann

"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change"

Stephen Hawking
