Global Internet mathematics – “independently verifiable” and “shareable in global open formats”

Global Internet mathematics – “independently verifiable” and “shareable in global open formats”

The training data from the Internet they use has not been curated or verified. The bad examples will not lead to good mathematics. It can take decades of hard work to solve one moderately difficult problem in the real world and they sell a chatterbox to regurgitate blog sentences trying to sound like experts. When all the mathematics used on the Internet is in global open lossless and traceable form, then perhaps sharing math – any computer programmer or algorithm can do it. A child can learn algebra in a few days, but not many can derive it from scratch and know why it is important and then real problems to use it for. The AI companies themselves are not using their own products at scale, or they would model what happens when none of their customers trust them. Or when things break and no one from the beginning was treating it responsibly.

None of the “AIs” has even gone to grade school, let alone been monitored for years on work habits, social understanding and “responsibilities of intelligent agents in mixed human-AI societies”.

I have a project “all mathematics on the Internet” – including all embedded in STEMC-FGOT (science technology engineering mathematics finance government organizations topics).

It is not hard, just tedious – requiring care and effort at global scale. Any AI can tell you how to do it, but they won’t do it for you. That “the current AIs won’t do things for you” is the worst thing. They pretend to be experts but won’t do anything for you. If we ever get AIs certified and audited for jobs in society, that requires trust at global societal levels.

Closed secret methods from locked corporations is not the right path. Especially they are hardly doing customer service or listening to the people who pay them now. None of the current AIs are doing real jobs in society at “cheap labor standards”, let alone professional and trustworthy positions like street repair or cooking or nursing or teaching.

 
The reason a calculator works is that is does precisely what it is designed to, and does not try to derive fundamental methods from scratch from the really terrible stuff on the free internet. There are good free things, but if you cannot trace them and verify they work — all the way down. Probably better not to use them, let alone buy them.
