Been noodling a lot about AI stuff lately, and just keep SMH about how willing so many people seem to be to trust this technology.

My problem w/ the idea of AI chat bots being asked to do anything consequential is that we seem to want them to be ever-more human, while at the same time expecting them not to make mistakes.

Probably what we really want is for them to also learn from their mistakes. But that requires admitting when you're wrong -- changing your mind, if you will -- and letting others impacted know that you were in the wrong. On some levels, that seems incompatible with what many expect out of AI today.

@briankrebs What I keep saying is that this round is not artificial intelligence. It is simulated intelligence. It’s brute forcing tons of words to present a more or less convincing appearance of intelligence, which falls somewhere between amusing and interesting to us, but it doesn’t actually “know” things, which is why it makes stuff up. Maybe it is part of the path to artificial intelligence, either a waypoint or an ingredient, but I’m just not convinced it is the destination.

@abosio so we're in the fake-till-you-make-it stage?

@briankrebs possibly. Or fake it until the vc money dries up and moves on to the next thing.
