Ask HN: Can anyone name anything new that AI has done?

10•SamInTheShell•38m ago
We're 2 years into this. Still looking for something that an AI did all by itself that is actually new. Everything I've seen so far still involves a human sussing out the new thing or the model is just aggregating data that is already there from disconnected sources that never got tied together.

That's AI for ya. What you are seemingly looking for is AGI and that we do not yet have.
SamInTheShell•31m ago
Maybe someone shows up, makes a solid case for something new, and surprises us. There's still people out there claiming it can, so I'm going to keep asking this every month until someone wows me or the topic dies at a societal level.

Have you looked through this repo? I'm not seeing enough here to really answer the question posed. Like some of this repo, I know came from correlation of information not connected before (like the quasi-Riemann result). Some of it is just an extension of ground work already done, not necessary new in a sense that should be interesting. We know word calculator can calculate. There's probably a lot of human credit missing here.

Yep, it is all over. Nihil novi and all that. It it is totally pointless. No sane person uses AI. Can you step a little closer over there? Don't worry. It is totally not a trap.

What has any human done all by itself? Everything you do comes from a synthesis of your memories of the past with your senses of the present.

> Everything I've seen so far still involves a human sussing out the new thing or the model is just aggregating data that is already there from disconnected sources that never got tied together.

I mean, yes, that describes people as well.

Your question seems to boil down to whether current AI has any kind of intrinsic motivating force. It doesn't.
