@potpie @tomw anyways. I think of AI from everything LLMs to simple regression models. It’s a digital computers reaction to external stimuli based off a learned dataset instead of being hard coded. Sometimes with randomness included.

@JonGretar @tomw I do think we give consciousness too much credit, but also I look at the LLMs we have now and I see little beyond long range predictive text. Supporting point: their translations usually make no distinction between using different words and using different punctuation/capitalization; the input and the output are only connected by machine-learned spaghetti logic; there's no other layers of reckoning or interpretation. It certainly seems beain-like, but only like part of a brain.
