Why are some people (typically younger from my experience) better at detecting AI images than others?

Today, my dad, who is highly interested in AI and is always reading up on it in the news, and who is very up-to-date on new technologies, showed me an image that just didn't seem right to me. It was of a sad girl holding a puppy, supposedly taken during the flooding happening in the US right now. I told him it seemed AI generated, but he said confidently that it was not. Something about it was just... off. The puppy was too detailed? The little girl's face was slightly off. The background was slightly blurry? I couldn't explain it. Later, he came in and said I was correct, it actually was an AI image. There weren't any obvious giveaways, no people with an irregular number of fingers, it just looked slightly strange to me. And he couldn't detect it, which is very interesting to me. There ha...

AI will never become smarter than humans according to this paper.

According to this paper we will probably never achieve AGI: Reclaiming AI as a Theoretical Tool for Cognitive Science In a nutshell: In the paper they argue that artificial intelligence with human like/ level cognition is practically impossible because replicating cognition at the scale it takes place in the human brain is incredibly difficult. What is happening right now is that because of all this AI hype driven by (big)tech companies we are overestimating what computers are capable of and hugely underestimating human cognitive capabilities. submitted by /u/jayb331 [link] [comments]

Seriously Doubting AGI or ASI are near

I just had an experience that made me seriously doubt we are anywhere near AGI/ASI. I tried to get Claude, ChatGPT 4o, 1o, and Gemini to write a program, solely in python, that cleanly converts pdf tables to Excel. Not only could none of them do it – even after about 20 troubleshooting prompts – they all made the same mistakes (repeatedly). I kept trying to get them to produce novel code, but they were all clearly recycling the same posts from github. I’ve been using all four of the above chatbots extensively for various language-based problems (although 1o less than the others). They are excellent at dissecting, refining, and constructing language. However, I have not seen anything that makes me think they are remotely close to logical, or that they can construct anything novel. I have al...
