A common argument from AI stans is basically mysticism: “we don’t really know how it works therefore it must be alive and have a soul”.

Dude, first of all we know how it works, human beings created every step of LLMs, and the didn’t imbue it with life like a golem, it’s just applied statistics.

Secondly just because you personally find it mysterious and unknowable doesn’t mean it’s magic.

@thomasfuchs the world would be a better place if people stopped imbuing complex subjects with a sense of curiosity-terminating unknowable mysticism.

it's fine to joke about it now and again, but we do ourselves a disservice when we slip into actually believing it.
