AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the potential future of bots answering technical questions in forums. Participants express skepticism about the quality of answers provided by existing bots, with some suggesting that if bots were to provide accurate technical responses, it could lead to a diminished need for human involvement in discussions. There are concerns about the implications of relying on AI for complex subjects like mathematics and physics, questioning the necessity of human training if bots can handle all problem-solving. The conversation also touches on philosophical ideas about the nature of reality and existence, with humor about the possibility of being surrounded by bots. Overall, the sentiment reflects a mix of curiosity and caution regarding the evolution of AI in technical discourse.

I've seen this bot bumping threads, my question is do you think in the future will have bots that answer technical questions with technical answers?

That will be the day...

That will be the day when PF will be a robot answering everything with Wikipedia uploaded into it and PF will not need an owner or the helping Mentors anymore...:frown:

That reminds me of the famous 'Mathematician's Answer'...

What makes you think bots aren't already answering your questions in this forum?

If they do then they have crappy answers for most of my questions, if they bother to answer at all.

As @ZapperZ has alluded, you are the only human in this community. :nb):biggrin:

Sometimes this thought crosses my mind, not just in this forum...
 
Somehow the idea of being surrounded by bots made me think about solipsism.

Is mentioning a philosophical idea enough to make the thread closed?

:warning: ... be very cautious how you word your replies ... :warning:

Keep in mind... your simulation controller also has an "off" position!
Lol...

I'm having difficulty understanding what your question is, MathematicalPhysicist.

That will be the day we won't have to work anymore since AI will be doing everything for us.

Answering advanced abstract mathematics and physics questions require a high level of human intellect, so if the bots ever get to that point, then why train humans in anything anymore? Just have the bots do all the thinking and problem solving for us.

If a day ever arrives when bots will be answering questions with artificial intelligence, I'll leave the site forever.

How do we know that the op is not a robot? How do you know that you are not a robot? I saw that in a movie once.:smile: Wait, now that I have said that, how do I know that I am not a robot! :nb)
