In this episode of STEM to Stern, Chauntée challenges Jake to name the most overhyped STEM trend, and of course, he picks AI. But is today’s “AI” really artificial intelligence, or just clever pattern-matching? Tune in as we unpack:
AI vs. Real Intelligence: Why current tools like ChatGPT are powerful, and why they still fall short of authentic human-style learning.
One-Trick Algorithms: How each AI model excels at a single task, like image generation, coding help, language, but can’t generalize across domains.
Ethical and Practical Questions: Should we push for general AI? What are the risks (hello, sci-fi nightmares), and how do we stay in control?
Future Outlook: From specialized machine learning to potential breakthroughs – what’s next on the path to genuine artificial intelligence?
Whether you’re an AI enthusiast or a cautious skeptic, this conversation dives deep into what today’s tools really do and why solving their limitations could spark tomorrow’s innovations.
