Speaking at the Canadian Senate’s ‘Committee on Matters Relating to the Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Canada,’ Professor Geoffrey Hinton, introduced as the “godfather of A.I.,” painted a dystopian future of A.I. clearly calculated to induce terror and fear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fear-mongering echoes past panics over climate and pandemics, but intuition itself offers the antidote. True intuition guards and protects, always rooted in reality and aligned with our best interests.<\/strong> It leaps from A to Z instantly, bypassing the slow plod of logic, and delivers ‘lightning-like’ warnings we ignore at our peril. <\/p>\n

Hinton’s Senate testimony peddled existential doom:<\/strong> lethal autonomous weapons, virus creation, massive unemployment eroding tax bases, and superintelligent beings rendering humanity obsolete.<\/p>\n

Calling for heavy regulation based on ‘socialist instincts’ to constrain capitalism, he openly supported Bill Gates’<\/strong> advice (“he may have some bad behaviors but he’s very smart”) to tax A.I. agents – while morally condemning Donald Trump<\/strong> in the same breath.<\/p>\n

As for his ‘expertise’ on A.I. itself, Hinton’s circular explanations of how large language models ‘understand’ through word prediction and feature fitting collapse under scrutiny<\/strong>; they mimic patterns, not grasp meaning or possess will.<\/p>\n

Often referred to as ‘having a hunch,’ or even as experiencing a ‘spidey sense that’s tingling,’ intuition is clearly a warning system against potential danger.<\/p>\n

Thus, intuitively speaking, the real danger of A.I. lies in the governments and politicians who want to control and regulate it – all under the guise of ‘protecting’ us from little more than words and their meanings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trust your own spidey sense over their hysteria, understanding that human intuition is what most often proves Just Right.<\/p>\n
