@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot @bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot I think Dawkins is not entirely wrong in saying he observes something that looks like intelligence. But I think the mistake is in the attribution. It is not the intelligence of the model he is observing, but rather the model is a representation of the intelligence of the people that has gone into training it - or should we maybe say: was distilled into a mathematical representation which can be used to compute certain problems.
