Pattern Recognition

Daniel Dennett, Douglas Hofstadter, and Stanislas Dehaene have all written about the human brain and our vision relying on the geometric shapes of faces, and maybe other body parts and clothing styles, to recognize people we know from various angles and distances. In other words, we do not rely on what could be a nearly infinite number of exact images stored like photographs in the mind. Dennett and Hofstadter also wrote of artificial intelligence (AI) robotic systems equipped with video cameras relying on a similar approach to recognize cubes, pyramids, and cylinders in a room. I am impressed with technology when it works well and just remembered a similar experience as a do-it-yourselfer. There is, or was, an online appliance parts store with a user interface that first asked the shopper the category (e.g., washer, dryer) of the appliance and the brand. Then it asked just a couple more questions about the primary material of the part (e.g., metal, plastic) and its longest dimension. With just that information, the vendor’s system was able to present a short list with photographs of parts that fit the description. In my case, I was able to purchase a new latch for a dryer door. Brilliant design.

ChatGPT May Be Eroding Critical Thinking Skills, According to a New MIT Study

Over the course of several months, ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study.
