you called me a robot racist.

…what?

Looking up the most common answer isn’t intelligence, there is no understanding of cause and effect going on inside the algorithm

In order for that to be true, the entire dataset would need to be contained within the LLM. Which it is not. If it were, a model wouldn’t have to undergo training.

AI implies intelligence

You seem to be mistaking ‘intelligence’ for ‘human-like intelligence’. This is not how AI is defined. AI can be dumber than a gnat, but if it’s capable of making decisions based on stimulus without each set of stimulus and decision being directly coded into it, then it’s AI. It’s the difference between what is ACTUALLY called AI, and when a sci-fi show or novel talks about AI.

Okay, what is your definition of AI then, if nothing burned onto silicon can count?

If LLMs aren’t AI, then absolutely nothing up to this point probably counts either.

It’s not, but it felt like further than that when I was 7 years old.

Ahhhh yeah, that would do it. :/

If a seagull is stealing chips from someone, odds are there are plenty of other seagulls around to witness their compatriot getting merked.

Seagulls understand that stealing from humans is risky - that’s why they generally do it very quickly. The ones who fail suffer consequences for their failure, same as stealing food from any other creature. It’s the risk/reward calculation any scavenger has to make.

Sometimes they calculate incorrectly. They get forcibly removed from the gene pool.

Of course, it’s also illegal in a lot of countries to harm seagulls, so in that sense, he was in the wrong anyways.

The train station is unmanned and largely un-maintained. It’s just a dirt platform. The only thing the train has to do that it wasn’t already doing anyways is stop and start again, which consumes fewer resources than a separate EV driving all the way to the next nearest stop.

Overpopulation combined with the inefficient resource consumption of modern society. If our resource usage per person reduced at the same rate that population increased, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Also that graph is ridiculous. If there was one less child born per person alive, there would be zero children being born in most developed countries (it takes two people to have a child, which would mean two less children per couple). Of COURSE that would result in a drastically reduced carbon footprint, because we’d die out.

Is there at least a stop within walking distance? I had to hoof it two blocks all through elementary school to catch the bus. It was through low-traffic residential streets, but still.

There is significantly higher pressure to conform to societal norms there, including misogynistic views on a woman’s role and a more stratified social hierarchy - but there’s also a belief that government exists to support society instead of existing to support moneyed interests.

No. Artificial Intelligence has to be imitating intelligent behavior - such as the ghosts imitating how, ostensibly, a ghost trapped in a maze and hungry for yellow circular flesh would behave, and how CS1.6 bots imitate the behavior of intelligent players. They artificially reproduce intelligent behavior.

Which means LLMs are very much AI. They are not, however, AGI.
