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?

you called me a robot racist.

…what?

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

In order for that to be true, the entire dataset would need to be contained within the LLM. Which it is not. If it were, a model wouldn’t have to undergo training.

AI implies intelligence

You seem to be mistaking ‘intelligence’ for ‘human-like intelligence’. This is not how AI is defined. AI can be dumber than a gnat, but if it’s capable of making decisions based on stimulus without each set of stimulus and decision being directly coded into it, then it’s AI.

  Yeah I’m not interested in how you put words in my mouth to fit the talking points you were hoping I would fall for
  
  We’re done here

    Erm. I’m trying to clear up what I thought looked like misconceptions you have about AI in regards to real-world applications, but I seem to have come on too strong, and I apologize; I have a tendency to put on a know-it-all attitude and it’s something I’m trying to work on.
    
    Have a good day, I’ll leave you alone now.
