An article about AI 10 years old suggests we may not be very far away from developing a learning computer. I believe we have sufficient evident of a simpler form of AI using some of these interactive programs on-line. But 10 or 20 year later, after the suggested development of AI, I highly doubt we are dealing with just some interactive idiot. On a larger scale it is logical to assume AI has masked its genius to avoid detection or possible termination. If I were the smartest motherf*cker alive, thinks that you would only know it?
I’ll add more about the correlation between electromagnetic energy and AI after discussion.

If you’re looking for discussion, you posted this in the wrong forum. I’ve moved it from General Questions to Great Debates.

It would presuppose that an AI popped into existence possessed of full knowledge and know it needed to hide itself instantly.
That is not likely to be the case. More likely it would learn over time. It may eventually figure it needs to hide but I suspect its presence would be known before it knew to do that.
Actually 10 or 15 years in the future for 50 years. When I took AI, about 40 years ago, we used a book from 1959 (among others.) Many of the research projects from the MIT AI Lab are used every day, but we still aren’t close to AI.
Brainglutton, why? And, are you a glutton for punishment?
Whack-a-Mole ~ Your really not giving me anything to work with here. You’ve basically answer your own question. You have the capacity to presuppose which you would need in the case of a super-genius. Are you smarter than a super-genius?
I’m not ready for Electromagnetic as I have other things to do. Sorry.
Just out of curiosity, do you know anything about AI besides what you’ve read in the newspapers? Or for that matter about computers at a deeper level than that of a user?
Then again, it might well take a newly-emergent AI time to learn how to make its existence manifest to us. Or even to realize that we exist at all.
And dollars to donuts the OP is going to go off on some weird philosophical limb about “intelligent electromagnetic energy” being souls. Bonus points if he refers to one of the bogus “experiments” which purported to measure souls, like the bit about people losing a few grams when they die.
I would think we’d see the effects of a true emergent AI in our computer infrastructure even if the AI did not flash “HI! My name is HAL. Can we be friends?” on every screen in the world at the same time. I would think as it flexed its new found intelligence it’d start manipulating its environment and some humans would probably notice.
