It’s hard not to say “AI” when everybody else does too, but technically calling it AI is buying into the marketing. There is no intelligence there, and it’s not going to become sentient. It’s just statistics, and the danger they pose is primarily through the false sense of skill or fitness for purpose that people ascribe to them.

@Gargron As usual, rms is telling the truth and nobody listens ;-)

"I can't foretell the future, but it is important to realize that ChatGPT is not artificial intelligence. It has no intelligence; it doesn't know anything and doesn't understand anything. It plays games with words to make plausible-sounding English text, but any statements made in it are liable to be false. It can't avoid that because it doesn't know what the words _mean_."

@ilgaz @Gargron wow, that sounds surprisingly similar to the average human. You only have to look at recent election results in just about every western democratic nation to see proof of that.

It’s so reductive to talk about AI as snake oil but at the same time attribute intelligence to human beings who are generally showing nothing of the sort 😂

@daan @ilgaz @Gargron Whenever someone tells me “this or that is not _real_ intelligence”, I ask what intelligence is;

So far in 100% of those replies the definition will exclude large portions of humankind.
