I never asserted that a human mind could do computation

Ebola works too

The real danger is the pollution, energy costs, and the fact that everyone who uses the technology rapidly atrophies their cognitive abilities. It’s also dangerous that this automated hacking software is being unleashed without proper monitoring by the extremely negligent and cognitively atrophied humans who built it.

That’s phenomenally depressing

I’d be more convinced if they intentionally contracted AIDS because they were confident in their slop machine.

… I still wouldn’t use their products, but I’d believe that they believe the word guesser machine might cure cancer

Jail then

They have not comprehended anything to date, as they don’t actually understand anything, or have an intellect with which to do so. They are probabilistic next word guessing machines, that is what is happening behind the smoke and mirrors, not “thought”.

I don’t accept the computer as intelligent or a being, and I love my computer (it’s objectively an inanimate object tho).

I know you’re not a fan of the dictionary, but they are the authority on words and their meanings.

Before you get too excited about definition 3 I suggest you familiarize yourself with what it means to “compute” https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/compute you’ll notice repeated use of the word “determine”. LLMs are by nature “non-deterministic” or in other words “incapable of determining / incapable of making a determination”.

A computer is deterministic

An LLM is a probabilistic next-word-guessing machine / software as a service

Words have meanings, and you don’t get to change them in order to strengthen a weak argument.

I’m sorry that those meanings aren’t convenient for your untenable position.

The medium of delivery also shifts the scale.

You’re also putting 100% of the responsibility for the communication being received as intended onto the receiver. The conveyer also has a (arguably larger) role to play in the successful conveyance of said sarcasm.

People don’t always understand poorly constructed jokes or satire, and that’s not a reflection of their intelligence (or lack thereof).

He doesn’t need to read, the LLM does the reading

/s (kind of)

Ahh, buckle up for the rest of the comment thread lmao

I didn’t quote it, I sent you the entry in the hopes that you might read it yourself and learn something

An important variable of the Turing Test that is never spoken about is the intelligence (or gullibility) of the user.

Whelp, time to smoke a blunt and rewatch Face/Off

It’s “when”

The ability to accomplish tasks is not in and of itself an indicator of intelligence, and “intelligence” in the context of AI is a misnomer.

It’s what you don’t posses about the workings of LLMs (or basic English).

It’s free because they intend to steal your project if you’re dumb enough to let them scan it
