Speech Genie is magic for Language Learning
Why is human brain function helpful for language learning?
"The Next Generation of "Language Learning" comes from helping our brain to learn, not by teaching it. The benefits to AI will follow from systems like this that facilitate human learning"

Next Generation AI: exploiting RRG Linguistics
John Ball presented at the bi-annual linguistics conference at Kobe University in Japan.
There wealth of knowledge from linguist researchers and scientists studying the world's languages is a marvel. It also is what is missing from today's AI. Next generation language AI will be enabled by it.

The title is apt. The Leaderboard Illusion is one of the fundamental flawed assumption. If a technology incrementally 'improves' on a score of an irrelevant benchmark isn't that like building a taller ladder to the moon?

New adventures in AI hype: “Our language models are so ‘conscious’ we need to give them rights”
The return of nonsense on stilts, three years later
New adventures in #AIhype
"I suspect the real move here is simply, as it so often is, to hype the product — basically by saying, hey, look at how smart our product is, it’s so smart we need to give it rights." ~ @garymarcus.bsky.social

Dogs that know English
Animals are much better than today's AI at key tasks
Safer, accurate and energy efficient technology exists when we look past today's generative AI to brain emulation of language and vision comprehension.
Cognitive scientist John Ball shows the world the benefits of that next generation tech.

Why AI is **NOT** Progressing
in the opinion of experts
My first post for a while because John Ball and I have been sharing the message out there to universities the value of emulating the brain for its language and vision comprehension.
Why is this so urgent now? The cracks forming for generative AI are wider than the Grand Canyon.....

Language Learning Needs Brain Science
so we can acquire a new language easily and naturally
The perceived difficulty of learning languages has been superficially helped by language learning apps but not effectively. Rich cognitive sciences + new natural language understanding technology show a path forward for brain-like learning for the world's languages.

For those interested in following the path John Ball wrote about last week to bring his technology to life, you might be wondering how enabling language comprehension for machines helps language learners. At the core of his system, is a linguistic framework connecting brains and machines.

Language Learning Needs Brain Science
so we can acquire a new language easily and naturally
When you solve 'comprehension' for machines of our language an unexpected benefit occurs. It becomes a virtuous circle between implementation on a machine and brain theory. One informs the other - continuously......

Or Filip, we can benefit from recent breakthroughs in new linguistics and theoretical neuro-science to create an 'understanding' capability which has the energy efficiency of the 12watt brain.

Watching a kid learn to ride a bike. Always fascinating. Show me a humanoid robot able to spontaneously learn to control a machine like that, with minimal supervision and instruction and do it in a few hours. We don’t need fancy benchmarks to understand we are nowhere near AGI.
