The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 10, 2024

Eiai?

How could AI help the business? Handle tech support for the Cozies?

Sure I can spell AI. “D.U.M.B.A.$.$. AI.”

“That’s what spellcheck is for, Chief.”

You know him all too well. If you want anything done right, do it yourself.

I wonder how much money is contained in those 3 bags. Maybe someone should grab them!

He’d probably be more confused because of the spelling. “Who is this Al person? Is it short for Albert or Allison?”

Like you could do better, chief?

Chief knows his staff…

Now it makes more sense. I was wondering why everyone was so worked up about a steak sauce from the 60’s. If you need steak sauce get a hot dog or a kids meal.

sure he can, just dump a bowling ball on his foot and watch him spell it out for you. AIeeee! :D

Brutus, never mind what Veeblefester says, we have faith that you can spell A.I., even if you do use a dictionary.

Brutus has A.I. – actual intelligence

IA is easy to spell Mr V. Wonder how much those money bags hold? I could do with a donation. Say two bags worth.

Cruel, Chief. Brutus can definitely spell AI.

Good one! And nice curveball – I was expecting a gag about Rancid’s thoughts on Brutus’s intelligence!

Gotta give the Chief this one!

Ay Eye?

So you want to set up AI to replace you, Brutus.

Intelligence is something that is subjective. Some thing that behavior determines the level of intelligence others, abstract thought. First level of intelligence starts with reflex action which requires no thought, next comes instinct which programmed into the brain cells before birth, then comes consciousness. A this point the degree of intelligence from little to human. AI started with first computer and has been increasing since then. So far no computer has consistently passed the Turing Test for human intelligence. AI programs today work mainly on instinct with some having a learning ability in certain areas. A conscious AI is still in the future and will require faster processing speeds closer to the speed of light. Maybe a quantum computer the size of a small house will do it.

There are things AI currently does that can help, but sort of doubt it will there – it may help them generate images to make the reports look prettier, I’ve done it myself but it was a talk on computer security risks and final slide was explaining risks you could be taking using AI

But then there is the AI hype which is hitting the headlines – and I’m not sure that will help anywhere

Veebs is such a warm, lovable type!

Poor Thorny…

I am surprised that Brutus came up with that suggestion. Did someone play a trick on him?
