@deriamis@mstdn.social @ngaylinn@tech.lgbt The "AI" label is misleading, but I'm pretty confident that we will never get to true Artificial General Intelligence - this is only a mirage of being close. It might well be that it could be enhanced to parse questions & redirect queries to best tools & use its LLM to make it sound smooth & chatty, or something like that- so that you'd have a generally useful & accurate research assistant, but not artificial intelligence. We may be stuck with the label however.

@DrewKadel@social.coop @ngaylinn@tech.lgbt I suppose I should clarify that I think there exist strong and weak definitions of AI. The strong definition is the one to which you refer, and even if we somehow achieve it, there are moral and ethical concerns surrounding employing it as a tool. The weak definition is just ever more sophisticated ML with no sapience. AI is a “close enough” label where the distinction makes no difference. My point is that it clearly does for how ChatGPT is often being used.
