Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent
stephen01king@lemmy.zip 2 weeks agoIs 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.

Show your proof, then. I’ve already said what I need to say about this topic.
We have no idea how humans think, yet you’re so confident that LLMs don’t and never will be similar? Are you the Techbro now, because you’re speaking so confidently on something that I don’t think can be proven at this moment. I typically associate that with Techbros trying to sell their products. Also, why are you talking about disposing humanity? Your insecurity level is really concerning.
Understanding how the human brain works is a wonderful thing that will let us unlock better treatment for mental health issues. Being able to understand them fully means we should also be able to replicate them to a certain extent. None of this involves disposing humans.
This is just more of you projecting your insecurity onto me and accusing me of doing things you fear. All I’ve said was that humans thoughts are also probabilistic based on the little we know of them. The fact that your mind wander so far off into thoughts about me justifying a robot army takeover of the world is just you letting your fear run wild into the realm of conspiracy theory. Take a deep breathe and maybe take your own advice and go touch some grass.
