@mudri@mathstodon.xyz @lmorchard@masto.hackers.town it’s not inductive at all though. It’s just parroting the patterns it sees in its training data. If it wasn’t common to see exchanges like that, the response would be utter nonsense.
People misunderstand what “training” is. It’s modeling the input. Humans develop the rules for how to model that input. Emergent properties of that process can easily *seem* like thinking or reason, but it’s an illusion.

@calcifer@masto.hackers.town @lmorchard@masto.hackers.town What is parroting patterns if not inducing a pattern and then applying that pattern to new inputs?
