Right. It's turtles humans all the way down. And if you spend enough time on freelance job boards, you realize that everyone in this sector is trying to find "experts" willing to train models to approximate what they do. Hey, if someone has to do that to make a quick buck to feed their family or whatever, well OK, but boy is it gross. 🤢

    It isn't human intelligence. It isn't any kind of intelligence... it's an input-output machine that drags your query through the fecal sediment of reddit/youtube/4chan/etc comments and presents you with what sticks.

    It's like a toaster: untoasted bread goes in, lever gets pushed, machine does its thing, toasted bread comes out. Toasters aren't intelligent... or stupid, or any other measure of thought processing, because they don't think. They just do.

    Except instead of bread, it's a question or image or w/e, and instead of toastiness it's shit.

    Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

    I'll never pay for AI. I'd much rather not have access to information than give these giant corps money. I've lived this long without it, I'll live the rest of my life without it.

    Can someone make this with the funny biker style skeleton with a smoking gun and sometimes with cigarettes?

    It's not human intelligence, it's human knowledge, and LLMs are running fancy autocomplete on prompts using that vast sum of knowledge.

    Ffs. Human intelligence might not be all that much, but at least it's intelligence, unlike LLMs.

    No it's not. It's just a pattern recognition algorithm; a lager version of a smartphone word suggestion tool.

    It contains no intelligence. Unfortunately, you can say the same thing about some people, too. Same difference. 🤷‍♂️

    It’s just a magic 8 ball that tells you what you want to hear.

    There’s also the argument by pro AIers who say “well it passed the Turing test, so it’s intelligent!”

    What they consistently forget is that the LLMs cheated by being built with the entirety of the internet’s data, with at least some of it being guides on how to complete said Turing test.

    Once an AI passes the Turing test without the entirety of the internet’s data being fed to it, then maybe it’s intelligent, who knows.

    I think the better way to word the Turing thing isn't that the LLMbeciles passed it but rather that humanity failed it.

    Great way to put it. Education is pretty shit in most places, and after people leave all forms of education, well, you can’t change the fact that some will stay (or worse, become,) stupid.

    This is why it’s such a low blow by the AI companies to position as worker replacement tech, it’s so easy too.

    LLM's what? LLM's code? LLM's murders? That's a possessive apostrophe, you're supposed to put a noun after it.

    Yes. That was the important point. The apostrophe. Because nobody could possibly figure out what the message was without it. Even though spoken it would be the same with or without it and readily understandable.

    Because pedantry is an extremely attractive trait that is in no way, shape, or form obnoxiously pointless.

    "AI" is like Frankenstein's monster but put together from lifeless thoughts

    Sub...scription? What are you on about?

    That's the model every LLMbecile vendor wants and offers. The free chatbots are the loss leader. (With "loss" holding up a lot of lost dollars!) The intent is to have you convert into the paid subscriptions.

    Which almost nobody is doing.
