Funny how triggering it is for some people when anyone acknowledges humans are just evolved primates doing the same pattern matching.
It’s not that institutionalized people don’t follow “set” pattern matches. That’s why you’re getting downvotes.
Some of those humans can operate with the same brain rules alright. They may even be more efficient at it than you and I may. The higher level functions is a different thing.
That’s absolutely what it is. It’s a pattern on here. Any acknowledgment of humans being animals or less than superior gets hit with pushback.
I didn’t say we aren’t animals or that we don’t follow physics rules.
But what you’re saying is the equivalent of “everything that goes up will eventually go down - that’s how physics works and you don’t see that, you’re in denial!!!11!!!1”
Humans are animals. But an LLM is not an animal and has no reasoning abilities.
It’s built by animals, and it reflects them. That’s impressive on its own. Doesn’t need to be exaggerating.
I appreciate your telling the truth. No downvotes from me. See you at the loony bin, amigo.

We actually have sentience, though, and are capable of creating new things and having realizations. AI isn’t real and LLMs and dispersion models are simply reiterating algorithmic patterns, no LLM or dispersion model can create anything original or expressive.
Also, we aren’t “evolved primates.” We are just primates, the thing is, primates are the most socially and cognitively evolved species on the planet, so that’s not a denigrating sentiment unless your a pompous condescending little shit.

The denigration of simulated thought processes, paired with aggrandizing of wetware processing, is exactly my point. The same self-serving narcissism that’s colored so many biased arguments in biological philosophy putting humans on a pedestal above all other animals.
It’s also hysterical and ironic that you insist on your own level of higher thinking, as you regurgitate an argument so unoriginal that a bot could’ve easily written it. Just absolutely no self-awareness.

It’s not higher thinking, it’s just actual thinking. Computers are not capable of that and never will be. It’s not a level of fighting progress, or whatever you are trying to get at, it’s just a realistic understanding of computers and technology. You’re jerking off a pipe dream, you don’t even understand how the technology you’re talking about works, and calling a brain “wetware” perfectly outlines that. You’re working on a script writers level of understanding how computers, hardware, and software work. You lack the grasp to even know what you’re talking about, this isn’t Johnny Mnemonic.

I call the brain “wetware” because there are companies already working with living neurons to be integrated into AI processing, and it’s an actual industry term.
That you so confidently declare machines will never be capable of processes we haven’t even been able to clearly define ourselves, paired with your almost religious fervor in opposition to its existence, really speaks to where you’re coming from on this. This isn’t coming from an academic perspective. This is clearly personal for you.
