If I understand this correctly at all: this suggests that an AI - or any other entity - can know more about me than I know about myself. Knowledge of and about oneself is, of course, deeply subjective and full of paradoxes. AIs are not able to process paradoxes. At least not in the abysmal and humorous way that we humans are. If they were capable of doing so, they would not be AI but humans. Analogies are really great, but ultimately analogies. Nothing resembles anything else in an exact way. These tiny to large differences in the nature of all living things are what make a difference. There is nothing in the world where you can consider one thing absolutely proven down to the last factor. After all, mathematics, however good it may be, can never include all factors with all other factors in one calculation. The search for the world formula is therefore as pointless as it is megalomaniacal. Although it certainly has many a beautiful and surprising effect when one deals with such things.
I agree with you to some degree. However, have you ever taken a personality profiling test, where it gives you one of the 16 different personality types? Even those alone hone down quite a bit onto how someone might behave in any given situation.
I find those tests kind of interesting and were in fact highly involved in the matter during my education in 2012 as a consultant for social and family affairs. I then dug into this theme quite intensely. Have you heard of Gregory Bateson?
While there is a tendency showing in the tests which can be very accurate in prediction it nevertheless will not predict anything where a human being behaves differently. That's the point where it gets interesting for me. It's not so much the prediction and the foreseeable but "chance" or paradoxes or other phenomena.
I have not heard of Gregory Bateson. So the tests can predict accurately, but cannot predict the unpredictable. Or more simply put, they're not 100% accurate.
:)) yes. I like the way you put it in this sentence. Isn't it the best thing, when you did something or reacted in a way which not only surprised the other but also yourself?
Yes, I agree! : -)
