  AI implies intelligence

  To me that means an autonomous being that understands what it is.

  First of all these programs aren’t autonomous, they need to be seeded by us. We send a prompt or question, even when left alone to its own devices it doesn’t do anything until it is given an objective or reward by us.

  Looking up the most common answer isn’t intelligence, there is no understanding of cause and effect going on inside the algorithm, just regurgitating the dataset

  These models do not reason, though some do a very good job of trying to convince us.

    A little thought experiment: How would you determine whether another human being understands what it is? What would that look like in a machine?
