Artificial Intelligence
The Fallacy of Common-Sense in AI
Artificial Intelligence is getting really good at doing lots of things.
I’ve seen it analyse data super fast, make calculations better than any human, and even have decent conversations — sometimes.
But there’s still a problem that keeps coming up: AI has no common sense.
AI is supposed to handle social situations that should be easy for most of us. It knows the words and can calculate the odds, but it still completely misses the point.
Is it logical? Sure. But socially, it’s a total disaster.
The AI isn’t trying to be mean or make anyone uncomfortable — it just doesn’t understand. Sure, it can sort through tons of data, notice patterns in my shopping habits, or solve a really hard puzzle in seconds.
But put it in a room full of people, and it gets really awkward.
Without understanding things like social cues, cultural differences, or basic feelings, it ends up being the awkward person in the corner — or worse, the one making everything weird.
