跟读练习: AI Will End Philosophy, Physicist Claims - 通过视频学习英语口语
正在创建课程...
1
A physicist has written a book explaining how artificial intelligence will make much of philosophy obsolete soon.
2
A philosopher thinks otherwise, and I think, well, they're both wrong.
3
Let me explain.
4
The new book comes from Louis Fervort, who started out with a PhD in physics, but then did a second PhD in philosophy.
5
So this isn't your stereotypical ignorant physicists with a YouTube channel.
6
You have me for that.
7
The book is titled Problem Solving in Philosophy, How to Do Philosophy in the Age of Ultra Intelligent AI.
8
To make a long story short, the author argues that philosophy should be done like in natural science in general, and like theoretical physics in particular.
9
As he writes in the book, quote, philosophy is now mature enough to come to reasonably solid answers to key problems,
10
And there's one overarching method to do so, in essence, the same method as the natural science is used to obtain answers,
11
in particular theoretical physics.
12
He argues that philosophers should quantify how good an explanation is by using
13
that explanation which gives the largest number of coherent answers to the well -posed problems.
14
He calls this the maximally coherent theory.
15
The best theory is the one that explains the most cases, makes sense of the most counterexamples and contradicts the least other accepted knowledge.
16
And AI can do it, so his argument, because all it really comes down to is counting the questions answered and contradictions.
17
He's even done an experiment in which he used AI to allegedly solve a thorny problem of philosophy.
18
That's how to define causality.
19
The experiment works like this.
20
Ask Chad GPT, at the time this was GPT -4, which notion of causality is the best.
21
Chad GPT said, counterfactual causality, which Fairbord thinks is correct because it's the one he also likes best.
22
Maybe doing philosophy like theoretical physics is not the flex he thinks it is.
23
Other philosophy topics that Fairbord thinks AI or cetera is free will, which clearly doesn't exist, and induction,
24
which he thinks is a pseudo -problem.
25
Though I have to add that he also says that he doesn't think AI will solve all philosophy problems.
26
In particular, he says big questions like the meaning of life or the existence of God are still up for grabs,
27
presumably until chat GPT 7 .8 Max Pro Ultra agrees with him.
28
The author published a paper with his main argument before the book, so we already have a comment from a philosopher titled,
29
can we automate philosophy through AI?
30
And we want to.
31
The philosopher basically says that if you think philosophy is about generating theories and arguing for and against them,
32
then yes, an AI can in principle do it.
33
If you, on the other hand, think philosophy is about thinking through these problems yourself, then an AI can't do it for you.
34
The remarkable thing about this argument is that he managed to blow it up to 15 pages, which is basically my problem with all philosophy literature.
35
Loads of words to say the pathetically obvious.
36
That said, I don't have much sympathy for the physicist's argument in this case either,
37
because the question of how to quantify the best explanation for a philosophical theory is itself a philosophical problem.
38
And the entire idea that you can science -ify philosophy is nonsense,
39
because philosophy is exactly what we use to discuss the questions that science cannot answer, or not yet.
40
There are, of course, questions that eventually move from philosophy to science.
41
Consciousness is just doing this, and free will is likely going to come next.
42
The problem with the author's argument is nicely illustrated in his take on the problem of induction.
43
That's the question of why induction works.
44
Why do the laws of nature continue to work?
45
Why does the sun rise every morning?
46
Why do atoms remain stable?
47
Why does Sabina keep making stupid jokes?
48
You might say, well, it's because we have seen in the past that that's the case.
49
Yes, but that'd be proving induction by induction, which is a circular argument.
50
Verwort basically says it's a meaningless question
51
because induction should be treated as an axiom and as such it doesn't require a justification.
52
But induction is an axiom in science.
53
We need it for science to work.
54
The question is why does it work?
55
That's a question science can't answer which is exactly why it's a question for philosophers.
56
If you say a non -scientific question isn't a question then yeah I guess you can close the philosophy departments
57
but even Claude could tell you that this is a pseudo -argument.
58
That said, I think both of these gentlemen missed the obvious point, which is that humans are by.. default lazy.
59
Most philosophy papers are already collections of useless words
60
that no one reads and of course increasingly more philosophers will let AI do this job.
61
Indeed, I'm sure this is already happening and I hope
62
that this will ultimately encourage philosophers to improve the quality of their discourse.
63
I give the book a 6 out of 10 on the bullshit meter.
64
Why is it so low after all I've said?
65
It's because I think that the method that the author suggests to quantify how good different explanations are is worthwhile.
66
I just don't think it's going to make philosophy redundant.
67
And if AI really does make philosophy obsolete, philosophers will spend the next 50 years debating whether that actually happened.
68
If you have a trip coming up, I have a recommendation for how you can make this
69
so much more convenient with the electronic SIM card or eSIM from Saley.
70
What's it good for?
71
If you're traveling, you can avoid roaming fees just by switching to a local eSIM.
72
That can save you a ton of money.
73
Something else that I found it useful for is to keep using an old phone which no longer has a SIM card.
74
You can also use it to set a virtual location.
75
How does it work?
76
It's super easy.
77
Download the app, select a country and a plan
78
and don't forget to enter my code ZABINA before checkout because that'll get you 15 % off.
79
Download the eSIM and switch it on and that's it.
80
Yes, it's really that simple.
81
Saley has 24 -7 support and if the eSIM doesn't work on your phone, a money -back guarantee.
82
So use my code ZABINA for an exclusive 15 % discount on Saley data plans and I wish you a good trip.
83
Thanks for watching.
84
See you tomorrow.

关于本课
您正在使用跟读技巧通过视频"AI Will End Philosophy, Physicist Claims"练习英语口语和发音。
每天练习15到30分钟，将显著提高您的英语流利度和发音准确度。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
