Comment on YSK that "AI" in itself is highly unspecific term
EvilEdgelord@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoIt’s not really solving problems or learning patterns now, is it? I don’t see it getting past any captchas or answering health questions accurately, so we’re definitely not there.

If you’re talking about LLMs, then you’re judging the tool by the wrong metric. They’re not designed to solve problems or pass captchas - they’re designed to generate coherent, natural-sounding text. That’s the task they’re trained for, and that’s where their narrow intelligence lies.
The fact that people expect factual accuracy or problem-solving ability is a mismatch between expectations and design - not a failure of the system itself. You’re blaming the hammer for not turning screws.

Fair point 😅
