We already know how Elon Musk feels about artificial intelligence or AI. Also, previously he has made it pretty clear that he¡¯s not a fan of Facebook.?
In fact, he dislikes Facebook so much that his companies Tesla and SpaceX don¡¯t have a profile or Facebook page.
However, a recent post by Facebook AI head Jerome Pesenti, publicly criticising Elon Musk¡¯s understanding of AI, has resulted in Musk actually tweeting on his handle ¡®Facebook sucks.¡¯
Pesenti criticised Musk, reacting to a story by CNBC on Twitter which spoke about tech billionaire on social media mocking Musk for making unreasonable comments on artificial intelligence, stating, ¡°I believe a lot of people in the AI community would be ok saying it publicly. @elonmusk has no idea what he is talking about when he talks about AI. There is no such thing as AGI and we are nowhere near matching human intelligence.¡±
Musk didn¡¯t really appreciate this comment, it seems and was quick enough to respond back in a rather sassy way, or so he thought.
In case you didn¡¯t know, Musk feels that AI will eventually outsmart humans and take over our lives completely.
Last year, in the World AI conference in Shanghai, he shared his views against China¡¯s richest Jack Ma, arguing that AI would take over human lives, while Ma feeling that it won¡¯t really be the case.?
Musk stated, "I think generally people underestimate the capability of AI ¡ª they sort of think it's a smart human. But it's going to be much more than that. It will be much smarter than the smartest human."
He also felt that the "rate of advancement of computers, in general, is insane", and when AI hears a human speak, it sounds like whale sounds to them. "The computer will just get impatient if nothing else. It will be like talking to a tree."
Do you think AI will eventually take over humans? Tell us, in the comments below.?
