This afternoon, as I was browsing my streaming options, I unexpectably came across the movie “Tron, The Legacy”. Since I am a sci-fi guy, it is one of my top three favorite movies. The quote I got from that movie is the title for this post and the header for my Facebook page. When some see Chaos, Good News, they give me a very questionable frown. So I thought I should explain myself a little more with a short story.

 I put out a post on these words two-years-ago today. Here is my explanation of this term from that post. (if you want to see the entire post, click HERE)

I read “Chaos Good News”, to mean that sometimes we just get too complacent with our life and need something to shake it up. What better to produce immediate change than chaos. 

While this quote from that earlier post is still valid, I want to add a couple of others things.

---

“Chaos” implies the existence of unpredictable or random, illogical behavior. With that thought, it implies a negative connotation. But, to me, it points to the potential for using human intuition in any confusing situation. It gives you an opportunity to use your God-given intelligence to work through some seemingly impossible situations.

With the above in mind, after watching the Tron movie yet again, I came up with an advantageous side of Chaos. It will almost certainly confuse the world of artificial intelligence. Being an IT guy, I know that all computers do is read 1’s and 0’s and if there are no 1’s and 0’s, then they STOP. To me, artificial intelligence is nothing more than a bunch of “IF — THEN” statements. In other words, in English, “if this doesn’t match condition “A” then look at condition “B”.” Artificial intelligence is just looking at hundreds, and sometimes thousands of conditions to try and find a match.

AI is simply a gigantic “conditions” sheet that many human programmers have contributed to. If the conditions aren’t matched, then the computer can’t figure out what to do.

Now, regarding this explanation, let’s finally get on to the Chaos, Good News statement. Most programs are made up of logical scenarios. Give an artificial intelligence machine chaos, it will almost certainly result in a machine frozen in an endless loop.

Human beings, well at least some of us, can make order out of chaos. Machines, not so much. Machines will likely never exceed human capacities, because they are, and will for quite some time, be unable to really know about love, philosophy, and true human understanding. For that reason, I’m not concerned at all the machines will take over the world, no matter how big you can make them.

But, Never Say Never

I guess. 😵‍💫🤪🧐🫥
