@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.

@jadedtwin@corteximplant.com @WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social If you don’t believe everything can be expressed in numbers then consequently you must believe there is some “magic” in which numbers are meaningless. That simply isn’t the case. From the count of neurons firing, to their relations and positions: every “emotion” can be described with numbers. Magic or numbers. That’s the choice. Thus: language is math (numbers encoded).

@jadedtwin@corteximplant.com @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social This demonstration is for others, not for people who already know what is colloquially known as AI is actually doing.

That is a little annoying Go to DeepSeek 's web page, https://chat.deepseek.com/, turn on the "deep think" toggle, enter a query and watch it's internal process laid out explicitly The LLMs and Transformers at the core are implementing a "stochastic parrot" (but what am I. What are you?) but the end result is ( machine) intelligence. That is the best term for it.

@jadedtwin@corteximplant.com @WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social the most hilarious thing is techbros expecting "emergence" of actual intelligence from this gobbelygook.

@jadedtwin@corteximplant.com @WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social I mean.... the definition of what 'AI' is seems to change over time. Partially because the 'original AI problems' like chess were solved with clever math rather than 'retrofuturism-like-artificial-intelligence' but still. Unfortunately it means the term is now kind of meaningless.
