#AI is a scam.

@IvoGatzinski A.I. is often unable to answer my simplest questions too:

"In the 14th century, the value of a cottage in England was not typically measured in terms of the number of eels."

I am disappointed.

@IvoGatzinski lol, but why?
@dangeratio it is the simplest possible: the name is a lie.
@IvoGatzinski are you saying the intelligence is not artificial or something artificial cannot be intelligence? I must know :)
@dangeratio the simplest possible: there is nothing intelligent about it. It is by definition as dumb as a light switch.
@IvoGatzinski I guess that depends on how you define intelligence, it’s smarter than some people, and better at some things than all people
@dangeratio #AI is as intelligent as a TI-82 calculator, because #AI is literally made of electric switches. autocomplete (chatgpt) is not intelligence.
@IvoGatzinski that’s like saying a human is as smart as a worm because they are made of the same stuff, I think perspective is lost with that reductionism
@dangeratio i didn’t say this; look up how chatgpt works and what it does
@IvoGatzinski its a simile the reductionism you mentioned was a calculator is a bunch of switches, you could compare that to a human and a worm both made of cells, the key difference that makes intelligence possible is the scale of the switches or the cells.
@dangeratio would you call a calculator β€œsmart”?
@IvoGatzinski for the things it does better than people, sure
@dangeratio such as?
@IvoGatzinski tons of things. I don't know a human who can summarize a large document in seconds, that is one thing of many that ChatGPT can do.
