Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent
aesthelete@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIf you don’t think humans can conceive of new ideas wholesale, then how do you think we ever invented anything?
Also, you’re the one with the burden of proof in this exchange, btw. It’s a pretty hefty claim to say that humans are unable to conceive of new ideas and are simply chatbots with organs given that* we created the freaking chat bot* you are convinced we all are.

Haha coming in hot I see. Seems like I’ve touched a nerve. You don’t know anything about me or whether I’m creative in any way.
All ideas have basis in something we have experienced or learned. There is no completely original idea. All music was influenced by something that came before it, all art by something the artist saw or experienced. This doesn’t make it bad and it doesn’t mean an AI could have done it

What language was the first language based upon?

You seem to think that one day somebody invented the first language, or made the first song?
There was no “first language” and no “first song”. These things would have evolved from something that was not quite a full language, or not quite a full song.
Animals influenced the first cave painters, that seems pretty obvious.

Yeah dude at one point there was no languages and no songs. You can get into “what counts as a language” but at one point there was none. Same with songs.
