I mean... it's not human intelligence no matter how many people continue the trend of inaccurately calling it that. It's a biological neural network. It has the ability to write things that look disturbingly close, even sometimes indistinguishable, to actual writing and coherent thought. There's no good reason to mistake that for actual intelligence or rationality.
woosh!
Sorry, my jaded sense of humor can be a bit subtle at times.
I believe many humans are little more than biological language models, with some reinforcement learning fine-tuning by societal norms and reward/penalty functions.
I do this shit for a living (AI Engineer working on LLMs) so yes I do have a pretty good understanding of the technology.
Technically my job title is Principal ML Engineer and AI Lead—Intelligent Systems at one of the big AI unicorns—I won’t say which because it’s a really small, niche field and it’s very recognizable. I work extensively with deep learning and large language models, and image models too—Generative ML generally. Satisfied?
But AI is definitely a field. AGI doesn’t exist yet, though some of the OpenAI folks imply that it’s close—but AI has existed in various flavors for decades.
I probably know more about this field than you. And if that’s not the case, then we’ve probably met at a conference or two. Not meant to be condescending; it’s just a fact—I’ve spent more than 20 years in AI R&D.
Philosophic?
