@Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social Another demonstration would be to bring a chessboard to class, along with extra pieces, and have the class play chess with an AI of their choosing. They’ll get to watch with their own eyes as the AI fabricates positions and pieces. This is especially useful because computers have been beating human opponents at chess for a long time now, so people know that chess is something computers can do. That an AI can’t indicates it is worse than its predecessors.

@WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social that's cause it's not an AI, but a really fancy autocorrect. DeepBlue and the like were probability machines using complex computational algorithms and ChatGPT just strings words together that make some kind of grammatical sense, in which grammer =! logic. The mistake that people are falling for is the thought that language is mathematical. It is not. Language is culture, which cannot be summed up through math and numbers. Culture is the synthesis of human emotion and connection. No machine can replicate that. Ever.

@WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social chess playing algorithms are considered AI, so i think what you're talking about is large language models specifically

@WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online I wouldn't be too surprised if LLMs were actually quite good at chess, since there should be plenty written accounts of chess games with the actual moves. @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social

@WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social *LLM we need to stop using the term "ai" for Large Language Models. They are NOT intelligent, they're autocorrect pumped up.
