Vote for 🗽 & 👩⚖️ -No New Inquisition!Here we have a classic example of the difference between causation and correlation.
This article is titled: Could the iPhone be to blame for America's plunging birth rate?
Ummm, no.
You know what else happened in 2007, right? The economic crash that saw millions of people lose their homes, their cars, their good paying jobs, and their future, essentially.
Of course they don't want kids. The economy has never really recovered.

acemaxxA look at prices in the context of commercial inventories shows there is a clear pattern. The 2 variables have a very high inverse #correlation, and May’s average Brent crude oil price fit the historical trend, chart @HakyungKim @financialtimes.com https://www.ft.com/content/c9b5b0d3-e9f8-489f-b85a-835ded2837a6

I am sure people will be reassured that 4 out of 5 had not been reported for domestic abuse. And while reported does not mean convicted, not being reported is not a guarantee that they have not been yet.

Richard Michael Blaber"Taking #population sizes into account, the trend line through the #data points shows that there is there’s a strong, clear #negative #correlation between Trump-leaning #orientation & low #life #expectancy at the #State #level. Deep red #states like #Alabama & #WestVirginia have #lifeexpectancy comparable to, say, #Kazakhstan."

Phil GreerUltimately, any "intelligence" we perceive in these models is projected by us. The model only understands the mathematical links between variables and outcomes. As George Box famously noted: "All models are wrong, but some are useful."
This tread is about generative AI and AGI in general and Large Language Models in particular.
