Ecological Babble-Poop Inspires the Creation of Slightly Less Dumb AI

Summary of Today’s Revelation in the Top-Tier Domain of “Bleeding Obvious”

Researchers with too much time on their hands have coughed up a paper touting the supposedly novel idea that how animals and plants function together in an environment (ecology for you complete dummies) might inspire the creation of less brain-dead AI. The paper goes on to blow smoke up our derrieres about how a mashup of AI and ecology could bolster the potency of AI, while aiding in addressing big bad probs like plagues, vanishing critters, and our favorite guest, climate change.

Possibly Implications of This Techno-biological Blunder

Assuming the average dumb-as-rocks AI doesn’t become more idiotic by integrating the mind-numbing concept of ecology, we could see AI systems being a little better at everything they do, whether it’s recognizing your mug or messing up your online grocery order. On the flip side, this could give rise to AI even more annoying than the ones we have currently, furthering the dystopian future where our robot overlords refuse to let us eat steak because it produces too much methane. The world also might, maybe, just maybe, see improvements in dealing with global issues instead of simply ignoring them like an inconvenient rash.

My Most Unwanted Opinion

Look, another day, another ‘breakthrough’ technology that promises to solve all our problems by marrying two ridiculously complex and barely understood domains: AI and ecology. Will this be a game changer, or just another fuzzy idea that goes the same way as Google Glass – exciting for five minutes and then forgotten faster than last year’s resolutions? Only time will unfortunately tell. But seriously, based on history, we should be preparing our disappointment faces. Yes, even you in the back – I’m looking at you, tech apologists.
