Comment on New study sheds light on ChatGPT’s alarming interactions with teens

  What does history have to do with it? We’re talking about the definition of terms - and a machine learning system like an LLM clearly falls within the category of Artificial Intelligence. It’s a system capable of performing a cognitive task that’s normally done by humans: generating language.

    Everything. As we as humanity learn more we recognize errors or wisdom with standing the test of time.

    We could go into the definition of intelligence, but it’s just not worth it.

    We can just disagree and that’s fine.

      I’ve had this discussion countless times, and more often than not, people argue that an LLM isn’t intelligent because it hallucinates, confidently makes incorrect statements, or fails at basic logic. But that’s not a failure on the LLM’s part - it’s a mismatch between what the system is and what the user expects it to be.

      An LLM isn’t an AGI. It’s a narrowly intelligent system, just like a chess engine. It can perform a task that typically requires human intelligence, but it can only do that one task, and its intelligence doesn’t generalize across multiple independent domains. A chess engine plays chess. An LLM generates natural-sounding language. Both are AI systems and both are intelligent - just not generally intelligent.

        Sorry, no. It’s not intelligent at all. It just responds with statistical accuracy. There’s also no objective discussion about it because that’s how neural networks work.

        I was hesitant to answer because we’re clearly both convinced. So out of respect let’s just close by saying we have different opinions.
