Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent
aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoDude chatbots lie about their “internal reasoning process” because they don’t really have one.
Writing is an offshoot of verbal language, which during construction for people often has more to do with sound and personal style than the popularity of words. It’s not uncommon to bump into individuals that have a near singular personal grammar and vocabulary and that speak and write completely differently with a distinct style of their own.
But you know, you have to leave your house, touch grass, and actually listen to some people speak that aren’t talking heads on television in order to discover that truth.

Is that why you love saying touch grass so much? Because it’s your own personal style and not because you think it’s a popular thing to say?
Or is it because you learned the fucking concept and not because it’s been expressed too commonly in your “training data”? Honestly, it just sounds like you’ve heard too many people use that insult successfully and now you can’t help but probabilistically express it after each comment lol.
Maybe stop parroting other people and projecting that onto me and maybe you’d sound more convincing.

In this discussion, it’s a personal style thing combined with a desire to irritate you and your fellow “people are chatbot” dorks and based upon the downvotes I’d say it’s working.
And that irritation you feel is a step on the path to enlightenment. I know why I’m irritated with your arguments: they’re reductive and dehumanizing. Do you know why you’re so irritated with mine? Could it maybe be because it causes you to doubt your techbro pitch line bullshit a little?

Who’s a techbro, the fact that you can’t even have a discussion without resorting to repeating a meme two comments in a row and accusing someone with a label so you can stop thinking critically is really funny.
Is it techbro of me to think that pushing AI into every product is stupid? Is it tech bro of me to not assume immediately that humans are so much more special than simply organic thinking machines? You say I’m being reductive, degrading, and dehumanising, but that’s all simply based on your insecurity.
I was simply being realistic based on the little we know of the human brain and how it works, it is pretty much that until we discover this special something that makes you think we’re better than other neural networks. Without this discovery, your insistence is based on nothing more than your own desire to feel special.

Yep, that’s a bingo!
Humans are absolutely more special than organic thinking machines. I’ll go a step further and say all living creatures are more special than that.
There’s a much more interesting discussion to be had than “humans are basically chatbot” but it’s this line of thinking that I find irritating.
If humans are simply thought processes or our productive output then once you have a machine capable of thinking similarly to them (btw chatbots aren’t that and likely never will be) then you can feel free to dispose of humanity. It’s a nice precursor to damning humanity to die so that you can have your robot army take over the world.
