" Intellect is the cause of destruction..." UG

UG is de-constructing Buddhi or Intellect here.

The constant use and reshaping of thought is the intellect. This, by the way is the process of human learning. The more we learn, the more we experience, the more we gather knowledge, the more we end up sharpening the intellect.

Artificial Intelligence (A I) mimics this exact process of human learning. ChatGPT is just the beginning!

A I machines gather 'intellect' using enormous computing power and speeds

( hardware ). Trained initially by the humans with the help of powerful algorithms and unfailing mathematical models, the machines are then exposed to enormous amounts of information (or Big Data) in any field.

The machines then go on the 'auto' mode and by constantly running and re-running thier algorithms and using statistical models on the big data that they acquire, begin to 'learn' ( Machine Learning or M L) and 'see' patterns, 'recognise' things, places and people, 'make' judgements, 'take' decisions and 'predict' events all on their own without any explicit instructions. That is pretty much all of the attributes of a regular human intellect.

A I , the experts predict, will surpass the human intellect very soon. The greatest intellect, Einstein, with an I Q of 160 will be no match to the acquired intelligence of a machine in just a few months from now, say the experts.

UG here speaks of intellect turning into a weapon of its own destruction and so do the experts who say that A I could soon turn into the next 'nuclear bomb' in the wrong hands!
