"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

A counter-example is not sealioning. Otherwise you could claim the earth is flat and win all debates by calling all counter-arguments sealioning.
You never gave any counter examples, you have only been spending your time in this thread JAQing off.
That's not a counterexample, thats JAQing Off and your JAQoff is a false dichotomy. The form information takes and the information itself are not the same. If I make a video about how G is Grab in Blender, and then write an article about how G is Grab in Blender, and then make an audio recording about how G is Grab in Blender, and then I make a pictogram about how G is Grab in Blender, and then create an interpretive dance about how G is Grab in Blender, they all look different but are communicating the same piece of information: that G is Grab in Blender.
The forms are different, the information is the same. AI doesn't do that. It predicts tokens of what is most likely without any understanding of the concept.
Like that dance, your imagination is also a representation and not the information itself, which makes it subject to the random processes that happen in your brain.
My imagination has nothing to do with the reality that G is Grab in Blender. Maybe reality is a collective hallucination, but that doesn't matter because we don't behave like it is. Knock off the pseudoprofound sophistry.
Your imagination about the Blender G comes from biological processes that have stored an imperfect representation of the fact in your mind. Those processes are not the same as the ones AI uses but they are also random. Randomness itself shouldn't be a reason to distrust an AI.
