Do AI Have Common Sense
AI can solve complex problems, generate human-like text, and even beat grandmasters in chess. But ask it whether a couch can fit through a doorway, and it might hesitate. Why? Because AI still struggles with common sense; something humans develop naturally from experience.
What Is Common Sense, and Why Is It Hard for AI?
Common sense is our ability to understand everyday situations, make logical connections, and apply basic reasoning. It’s why we know that you shouldn’t use a toaster in the bathtub or that a glass dropped from a table will likely break.
For AI, these things aren’t obvious. AI learns from data, not experience, meaning if it hasn’t been trained on a specific scenario, it might fail to recognize the most basic cause-and-effect relationships.
The Challenges of Teaching AI Common Sense
- Lack of Real-World Experience: Humans interact with the world, while AI only processes data. AI doesn’t “see” objects or “understand” physics the way we do.
- Context Gaps: AI struggles to connect abstract ideas. If you say, “It’s raining; better grab an umbrella,” an AI might not infer that rain makes you wet.
- Ambiguity in Language: Humans understand jokes, sarcasm, and double meanings. AI still takes things literally and struggles with nuance.
The Race to Give AI Common Sense
Big players like OpenAI and DeepMind are working on AI models that incorporate commonsense reasoning, using vast knowledge bases and simulations. Efforts like ConceptNet and Deep Learning for Common Sense (DL4CS) are helping AI understand basic logic.
Yet, even today’s most advanced AI models are far from truly thinking like humans. While AI can predict outcomes based on patterns, it still lacks the innate understanding that makes human intelligence so flexible.
Will AI Ever Have Common Sense?
AI is improving, but true common sense requires a deep, intuitive understanding of the world – something even the best machine-learning models don’t have yet. Until then, AI will remain an incredibly smart tool that still needs a human touch to fill in the gaps.
What do you think? Will AI ever match human intuition, or is common sense something only we can master?
AI Companions for Millennials
Okay Millennials, let’s talk. You taught us how to hustle. You gave us avocado toast, work-life balance goals, and “I need to speak to the manager” energy that occasionally slaps. But now, as you wrestle with rent, doomscrolling, and emotional unavailability in human relationships, guess what’s quietly slipping into your DMs? AI companions. Yep, emotional…
Can AI Have a Midlife Crisis?
There’s a quiet panic that nobody’s talking about – and it’s not in therapists’ offices, it’s in server farms.If AI could feel emotions, would it be lying on a virtual couch, wondering if it had peaked too soon? While we marvel at AI’s speed and intelligence, there’s a darker, funnier thought lurking: maybe AI is…
Will AI Make Us Sexually Obsolete?
The Taboo Nobody Wants to Touch (But Everyone’s Talking About). It’s one of the most quietly booming sectors of AI – not in boardrooms or research labs, but in bedrooms. While the world obsesses over productivity tools, automation, and AI ethics in the workplace, a more intimate revolution is unfolding under the radar: the rise…
The Rise of AI Friends: Are We Trading Real Connections
AI Friends and Digital Bonding: How Gen Z and Millennials Are Forming Emotional Ties with Bots In the age of artificial intelligence, relationships are being redefined in ways once thought exclusive to science fiction. For Gen Z and Millennials, AI is not just a tool for productivity or entertainment – it’s becoming a genuine companion.…
AI Can Be Biased Because We Are
Let’s set the record straight: Artificial Intelligence is not some all-knowing oracle. It’s a mirror. And sometimes, it reflects the parts of us we’d rather not see. AI systems don’t just appear out of thin air. They’re trained on data, tons of it, scraped from the internet, fed from enterprise databases, sourced from everyday human…
Can AI Help Us Find Meaning in a Noisy World
We wake up to pings. Snooze them. Check three apps before brushing our teeth. The noise is no longer around us—it’s in us. We’re living in what could be called the Age of Algorithmic Overload. Personalized feeds, infinite scrolls, push notifications, auto-play, recommendation engines… Every tool is designed to grab attention, predict behavior, and keep…
