Data was also wasn’t a replacement for human labor to enrich the capitalist class. I think AI would be cool if the tangible benefits made everyone’s lives better rather than just lining the pockets of rich people.because they fan pay less on labor.

Data was an experiment to see if sentient life could be constructed without biological components. There was no goal in mind beyond making him as human as possible. So I agree, I’d call that very different.

Yep. Data was created by pure human hubris, without contamination from other kinds of emotion. Kinda like the Frankenstein’s monster.

DataGPT is what people want. LoreGPT is what people get.

“Often wrong”, isn’t that what people call you?

If chat GPT were anywhere as advanced as Data I would 100% accept him as a coworker. The problem with LLMs isn’t that they’re not people, the problem is that they lack any sense of logic and abstract reasoning, relying on heuristic analysis to cover that weakness. As a result, they’re quite frequently wrong, and don’t have a way to know when they might be wrong, leading to them presenting every answer with the same level of confidence.

If

Data = current AI

Then

Modern lifeforms = aerobic bacterium,

Modern flip Smartphones = Motorola Microtac,

SR-71 = Wright Model B,

Rimac Never = Ford Model A.

Comparing Data to modern ai is just an insult to Data.

There was literally an entire goddamn episode about the difference between Data and a piece of equipment you gawping jackass.

In the same vein.

I don’t like it when people call Service Dogs “medical equipment.”

It’s a living, breathing, thinking being. It is not “equipment.”

Bare minimum, it is medical personnel.

I’d assume that the main reason they’re referred to as “medical equipment” is for insurance reasons. They fall under that broad category of patient care, so that’s where they are grouped.

If that’s true, you have capitalism to thank for that specification.

You’re probably a hundred percent correct, based on my experiences with medical insurance.

Create post

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
