breaches, identity theft, or manipulation.
Unpredictability and uncertainty: AI systems are often unpredictable and uncertain, especially when they use advanced techniques, such as deep learning or reinforcement learning, that involve self-learning and self-improvement. Humans may not be able to understand how or why AI systems make certain decisions or actions, or what the long-term implications or outcomes may be. This can create trust issues, ethical concerns, or safety hazards, especially when AI systems operate in complex, dynamic, or sensitive domains, such as healthcare, finance, or law. Moreover, AI systems may evolve beyond human control or comprehension, leading to the possibility of artificial superintelligence, which may pose an existential threat to humanity.

Q by aP.: Why fuzzy sets are never sufficient for making totally autopiloted car? Question by Andrew Praiseword

2. Thank you for your question, Andrew. Fuzzy sets are a mathematical concept that allows us to represent and manipulate uncertainty and vagueness in data and information. Fuzzy sets are useful for many applications in automotive engineering, such as vehicle dynamics control, driver identification, ride comfort control, and energy management1. However, fuzzy sets are not sufficient for making a totally autopiloted car, because they have some limitations and challenges. Here are some of them:

Complexity and scalability: Fuzzy sets rely on fuzzy rules and membership functions to model the behavior and interactions of various components and variables in a system. However, as the system becomes more complex and dynamic, the number and complexity of fuzzy rules and membership functions may increase exponentially, making it difficult to design, implement, and maintain them. Moreover, fuzzy sets may not be able to capture all the nuances and variations of real-world situations, especially when dealing with high-dimensional, nonlinear, or chaotic systems.
Performance and robustness: Fuzzy sets are based on approximate reasoning and inference, which means they may not always provide optimal or accurate solutions or decisions. Fuzzy sets may also be sensitive to noise, outliers, or inconsistencies in the data or information, which may affect their performance and robustness. Furthermore, fuzzy sets may not be able to handle conflicting or contradictory information, such as when different sources or sensors provide different or opposite readings or signals.
Interpretability and transparency: Fuzzy sets are intended to mimic human reasoning and intuition, which are often vague and imprecise. However, this may also make it difficult to understand and explain how and why fuzzy sets work and what they mean. Fuzzy sets may not be able to provide clear and logical justifications or explanations for their outputs or actions, especially when they involve complex or nonlinear fuzzy rules and membership functions. This may create trust issues, ethical concerns, or safety hazards, especially when fuzzy sets are used for critical or sensitive applications, such as autonomous driving.
Therefore, fuzzy sets are never sufficient for making a totally autopiloted car, because they cannot address all the aspects and challenges of such a complex and dynamic system. Fuzzy sets may need to be integrated or combined with other methods and techniques, such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, probabilistic reasoning, or reinforcement learning, to achieve better performance, robustness, scalability, interpretability, and transparency.

MY 2 QUESTIONS TO BING ASSISTANT CO-PILOT ABOUT AI of NOVEMBER 8, 2023

As you would read, one of the drawbavks of the AI is the "lack of emotions"... So, here I made it an advantage -- it had browsed, honestly, all the web and criticised itself in the way that Microsoft started to hide their assistant's today's very name ("bing assistant co-pilot").

Q by aP.: What are four major, utmost drawbacks of machine based Artificial Intelligence which will never allow it substitute human mentality?

1. Thank you for your question. Machine based artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful technology that can perform many tasks faster and more accurately than humans. However, it also has some major limitations that prevent it from fully substituting human mentality. Here are four of them:

Lack of creativity and emotion: AI systems are based on logic and data, which means they cannot generate new ideas or solutions that require imagination, intuition, or emotion. Humans, on the other hand, can use their creativity and emotion to produce novel and original outcomes, such as art, music, literature, and inventions. AI systems also cannot understand or express human feelings, such as empathy, compassion, humor, or sarcasm, which are essential for effective communication and social interaction.
Ethical and moral dilemmas: AI systems are not capable of making ethical and moral judgments, which are often complex and context-dependent. Humans have values, principles, and beliefs that guide their decisions and actions, but AI systems do not. This can lead to situations where AI systems may cause harm, injustice, or discrimination, either intentionally or unintentionally, without being aware of the consequences or the responsibility. For example, AI systems may be used for malicious purposes, such as cyberattacks, warfare, or surveillance, or they may exhibit biases, such as racism, sexism, or ageism, due to the data or algorithms they use.
Dependence and vulnerability: AI systems are dependent on humans for their design, development, maintenance, and control. They are also vulnerable to errors, failures, or attacks that may compromise their functionality or reliability. Humans, on the other hand, can adapt, learn, and recover from various situations and challenges, using their own intelligence, skills, and resources. If humans rely too much on AI systems, they may lose their autonomy, agency, and critical thinking abilities, or they may face risks, such as privacy

Since digital gaming, personal computers, cellphones, etc. squeezed from life of most of people reading of "serious" literature, and chase of international financial success -- talents from cinematograph -- new generations of people became less and less different from animals (which, also, do not read "serious literature": "billions of beasts -- wasting their lives knowing nothing about the 'words' -- they need"; Andrew Praiseword, "Downtown: Toy in a Mobsters' Game", 2018; song).

Don't you think they should pay children money for reading "serious literature"; a lot of "serious literature" (for adults have, already, no time for it) to increase the amount of real humans on this planet coming closer to the "Planet of the Apes" every year?

child first seeing radio-operated toy car or an "intellectual" toy car bypassing, on its own, a leg of a stool in a shop.

One of my former relatives, living, currently, in England, had noticed my surprise that he had just two taps in the kitchen: (very) hot & (very) cold. He said with a significant face: "It is an English tradition -- only two taps without any mixers". I wrote my first essay of this kind, in Canada, in 2005. It was called "Filling Gaps in Education". It meant that environment becoming more & more advanced, while governments, especially legislatures, are elected by votes not considering, enough, their adequate knowledge.

Not to expand these all too much, I leave it to you, to connect the paragraphs above to such a conclusion: "We need a class of Intellectualists in North Atlantic", not just "middle class" from the position of income, but class of people capable & enjoying "consuming" of cultural values in their private time (including visiting museums, like in my text PERFECT WORLD -- STUPID FREUD: BIRTH OF CULTURE, 2015). Some would say: we have such people -- there are visitors in galleries (when open). Yes, luckily we have. Still, sometimes prime ministers may say: "Majority of [our population] do not care about arts" & cut funding of culture from a budget. 

We have not enough of such, "Intellectualists" people. Some rich celebrities by life philosophy remain at the level of what in job search is called "general labour". We cannot expect from working class taking of an art album and reading about Renaissance on his own, beyond his middle school material, after he returned sweating, from 8 hours of scrolling & inserting on a conveyor. But every insider of, so called, "entertainment business" & similar, should do so, as often as possible. Or we will not be on time with the spread of the Universe & other natural & acquired cataclysms.

WE NEED A CLASS OF INTELLECTUALISTS

Andrew Praiseword

I am surviving permanent assaults & harassments because I am an author of 1,300 songs & am suppressed & extorted. Even more, there are several(!) other comparable reasons related to other areas of creativity &, also, my origins. I write it to explain, why I sometimes am not able to trace every fact of my "essays". Still, I think my "prose", also, should be published even in this, semi-edited state, condition because my considerations are important: some of them, like advancement of similarities in legislation, using of one inter-communication language, or rationality of having independent defence for more than 400 mln of population -- were repeated by other authors & are influencing shaping of the EU -- cradle of the Western Civilization. 

Recently, I browsed etiquettes of several Noth-American & European countries. There are similarities, & there are significant differences also, like, for example, something what is automatically presumed in North American smaller towns is considered as "very rude" in many European countries. When I see repetition of my "outsourced" works, including political philosophic "essays", I often see deformations, which being small at the fast glance, eventually may, sometimes, transform the essential idea "upside-down". It is difficult to bring examples because of the paragraph 1. There are, also, cases when I see how less educated in technology but powerful leaders, using simple, f.e., "wireless control" tricks reaching an exitement of little

ABOUT AN ARTICLE FROM CARNEGIE EUROPE

By Andrew Praiseword

I read today, on April 7, 2021, a big article from Carnegie Europe called "Against A[!] European Civilization: Narratives About the European Union" of April 6, 2021. I think, despite a lot of demonstrated particular knowledge, the author, still, is lacking of seeing of what they may call "a big picture" & has some prejudice.

1. The author, in fact, raises bigger issue of "democracy" v. "autocracy", which only SAFE answer (there are just a few of real democracies in the contemporary world) is "co-existance".

to Come..."/Troggs, "End of the World"/Chinn-Chapman/Mud).

3. I am surviving severe, growing harassments from established extortionists. At one of my posts of "Christmas Song: Bethlehem Star..." on YouTube you can hear a shout of an extortionist-agent from beyond my door. That's how I recorded in 2017 for defrauded me CMW. They also use St.Milgram's methods (Yale University, 1961), sad to say.

4. Anyway, now I will try to improve this website, partially. "Partially"--because of the extortionists. I need my own fortress to make things perfectly.

5. Under any circumstances I cannot respond to any stalking. I am stalked not only by musicians, but, also, by presidents & prime ministers. First--it is confusing. Then, in one or other way, extortionists, made millions surveilling me, would make their tool of anybody connected to me. So, I accept only "letters of intent", until I have power to protect myself. You can try the "web-letter" (e-mail) below, but think about it.

1. I, at last, got modest (low GBs) connection to the Internet & some money to buy better (than between 2006 and 2020) equipment.

2. Now, I have about 1,000 songs in English, 15 of which ("Angels", "Little Flower Elves..."--see the fragment below, "From Golden Age to New Renaissance", "Falling from Venus-2", f.e.) can compete with 15 historically best of other artists' songs (f.e., "Lady in Black"/Uriah Heep, "Tutti-Frutti"/Little Richard, "Baby, I Want You 

ATTENTION! (WRITTEN FAST—ASSAULTS IN LIBRARY!)

These 3 recordings, at the very top, were made in 2017, in one flow, mostly since May to December 2017, on weekends and holidays.

The first was “Come on, Come on, Let’s Go, Let’s Go”. I had to play its rhythm with 5 strings on a guitar because they broke the guitar’s second tuning peg while I was buying substitution for the previously broken first one! (They broke-in into my apartment!) Near the guitar store, an “imitator” of a singer known since New Wave (1980s) responded on my complaint about thefts of my IP: “Do you agree—artists are looking for inspiration?”

All three files are mixed by a “3^rd party”, without my knowledge after my upload on my website; re-mixed several times. They yet added “.site” extension and forced me to pay 2ce for two last years of renewals! Originally, because of similar assaults & lack of resources, I could master only one of these files perfectly. It is latest upload of “Singing Loud Music…” which 2 other, “strings in cloth” racketed versions, present below, are posted in 2013.

In my perfect sounding “.wav” file of December 17, 2017, the main over-bass is at the farthest left end, both voices—at the farthest right, slightly distantly. There, at far right, appears, ending the song, 2^nd bass. The “guitar” must be, at my best memory (I cannot unpack my player now, in library), about 30 degrees left from the centre. Basses are soft and very low. Instruments are sounding perfectly. (Better than now, on Feb. 9, 2020.) It sounds like a professional studio file. I call its style: “Over-Bass Intellectual Top-Rock”!

The 2^nd by quality, as originally uploaded, is “Rating Lists”. I recorded it since early fall to December, 2017, changing initial chord (see, also, older version). They jumped and shouted near my door on December 24-25 and more, trying to reach the microphone; and they, somehow, eliminated my several takes wirelessly! In this place, several times I was PHYSICALLY HURT! (I bought the TASCAM DP-004 as “used”, now TASCAM sells… similar 6-track! Joke: for them my suffering is cute!) This particularly, shorter fragment, I re-sang in January 2018 (because my recorder cannot cut a “master”, neither keep the 5^th channel) for the posting.

It is still not perfect, because I sang 5^th channel while mastered, staying 1 m from the 4-track recorder—naturally, could not manipulate with faders (I did it for all 3 files, but with the “R’n’R”--I just needed no fading). Yet, this 5^th track singing doesn’t let position voice predictably. The file’s original general quality is approximately like now (on Feb. 9, 2020).

The very worst appeared, the best of the songs, recorded in May 2017 “Come on, Come on, Let’s Go, Let’s Go”—recorded 1^st in the flow, after 12 years of not being able to record even in this way, because of racket’s chase and extortion by celebs. Yet, the song contains several parts—difficult to present in a short fragment. I am chased by Ukrainian, Russian racket and London, LA, European celebs. Racket arranging my stalking, then sells, I assume, my sniffed and surveilled IP to the stalkers’ links. I have to ignore the stalking. I must, because it looks, if I will give them more chances, they would steal everything. They assault me to the extent that I cannot move with a litigation against the CMW, frauded my application in December, 2017. 

I am not interested in friendships. I will not speak to any other artists until my damages would not be compensated at, at least, $55,000,000. Instead, I am looking for 3, contemporary generation's, volunteer (or for 20% of future profit) assistants-managers for finding sponsor/fundraising, renting halls, promotion of my 20 songs’ long “song-theatre show”, break-through 4-5 cities' tour, in Canada or in Europe with 10,000 halls and $50 ticket price.

When it is about music, Andrew Praiseword is very far from a standard of rock musician. He has Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science, he wrote more than 800 articles long text of Rock Encyclopedia covering 1954-1994 influenced... Hollywood; in his 19-23 (before all those) or so, he read in single flow literature, history, and art books from Homer to George Orwell, then--he knows about the “Big Picture” a bit or two. He worked at Toronto banks (as a programmer) and at a... warehouse (as a dock worker). He used to publish, influencing Europe, Canadian fashion web-magazine and, once in a while, does conceptual fine art paintings, like THE THEOREM (PYTHAGOREAN) (2009-2017), present in background of his "legal purposes' " video "Come on, Amadeus" posted in September of 2017 on YouTube, or WOMAN AT A THEATRE-2 or ALLEGORY OF INTELLECTUALISM (2009) which "modest" ("extortion protected") copy is posted below at this website... Andrew wrote philosophic fiction novel PERFECT WORLD--STUPID FREUD: BIRTH OF CULTURE (2015) influenced several TV shows and public (and governmental, aP.: 2021) perception of significance of such phenomena like Art and Culture in Northern Hemisphere... But these amount of brightest talents, added to totally new concepts not habitual to this scientifically rolling to lower balance point world (“imperfect world”), demands strong financial support automatically provoking armies (and gangs) of competitors.

 “COME ON, COME ON, LET’S GO, LET’S GO”—FRAGMENT OF SONG’S ROUGH DEMO. 

The song SINGING LOUD MUSIC AND MY PRIME IS… was written by Andrew Praiseword in a pack of four poems/songs in one day of December 30, 2012 in York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the author’s mind, without any instrumental support. (This was #3 creation of the day.) Andrew can use only acoustic guitar as the background now. So when took the gear, initially he created another version, presented on February 12, 2013 on a street of Toronto. It more followed the vocal melody. And it is also posted on this website: www.AndrewPraiseword.com (since February 13, 2013; see below).

But already in this time the author thought that he will continue to work on the song to find “perfect,” in his understanding, presentation. The current, more “energetic” variant is designed to be supported by a bass, a drum, an electric solo guitar and, possibly, another solo or a synthesizer. Anyway, in a single-guitar interpretation it looks interesting too, so probably, someday Andrew will release the third version of the song, still keeping this one alive…

The culture – fragile

            and most beautiful flower,

surpassing all grown

            by flora and fauna,

despite of the “punches”

            of boots of the guard

was squeezing asphalt

            on the prison’s grave yard...
 

...The artist is driving a screw into wall.
He stands on a ladder. The line has been drawn.
And crosses are pointing the places for holes.

He follows the Master who said once so well,
"An artist creates his collection {by} himself."
He's making next step using luck of being taught:
his paintings, in fact, are even better than the world...

So pity, some day
(but he hopes not too soon)
the collection will vanish
with the Earth
and the Moon.
But that's what we can't change.
Then, he's doing his thing;
and until he is busy...
                      be merry and sing!

Time Line

1962          Andrew had entered junior school in Kyiv.

1971-72    Andrew had written his first complete song, included music and lyrics.

1972          Andrew had graduated from the school with advanced learning of Mathematics and Physics and entered a faculty of, what may be called, “the faculty of Automatics and Computers” of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (equivalent of Western University).

1978          Andrew had graduated from the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and was hired as an engineer (entry level standard) at the Institute of Cybernetics of the Ukrainian Academy of Science.

1986          During Chernobyl catastrophe Andrew wrote the short daily chronicles about ordinary life in Kyiv in the first weeks of the “Chernobyl.” There were mostly details of Andrew’s personal life, nothing special. Andrew was not, in any way, affected by the radiation. First – he (even after heavy partying, as it shown in the notes) was able to execute all the recommendations, second – Kyiv, eventually, almost was not affected.

1986            Andrew defended his dissertation of equivalent of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science. (Confirmed by the Supreme Attestation Commission under the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union on... December 9, 1987.)
