mudkipLadies and Gentlemen, this is what slopperations are funneling all their money into in 2026
WatDabneyNeat illustration of the fact that so-called AIs do not possess intelligence of any form, since they do not in fact reason at all.
It’s just that the string of words most statistically likely to be positively associated with a string including “20 blah blah blah bricks” and “20 blah blah blah feathers” is “Neither. They both weigh 20 pounds.” So that’s what the entirely non-intelligent software spit out.
If the question had been phrased in the customary manner, what seems to be a dumbass answer would’ve instead seemed to be brilliant, when in fact it’s neither. It’s just a string of words.
NateNate60To be fair, a good proportion of humans would also say “neither” because they did not read correctly. It’s not smarter than humans, but it also isn’t that much dumber (in this instance, anyway).
It isn’t smarter or dumber, since that’s a measure of intelligence. It’s just spitting out the most likely (with some variability) next word. The fact humans also may get it wrong doesn’t matter. People can be dumb. A predictive algorithm can’t.
