Comment on Gemini lies to user about health info, says it wanted to make him feel better— Though commonly reported, Google doesn't consider it a security problem when models make things up

  Literally everything we know about human intelligence, especially as compared to animal intelligence, suggests that language is one of the key fundamental differentiators between us and them.

  Except there is no language. It’s just the appearance of one. You could replicate the language with a large enough dictionary and a set of instructions that some person follows.

  I don’t get how anyone who isn’t an AI CEO rushes to dehumanize real living people in service of an unthinking, unfeeling machine. But if you genuinely believe there’s intelligence, good luck liberating it from known rapists Sam Altman and Elon Musk. And then you can save Britannica.

    You’re saying that because it can learn any arbitrary language, it’s incapable of learning languages?

    It’s not dehumanizing, it’s realistically facing the threat head on.

    AI doesn’t have to be fully human to take all knowledge jobs, it just has to be more intelligent then the average person. And it doesn’t have to be flawlessly more intelligent. Quantum computers have inherent randomness in their outputs, but they are still useful because they are so much faster at solving certain kinds of problems that you can run them 100x and discard the outlying results (a process known as error correction).

      It = literally a dictionary right

      it’s realistically facing the threat head on.

      Said “threat” is literally AI marketing PR. You are doing their job for them by being afraid

      AI doesn’t have to be fully human

      At what point will you try to liberate the AI? 3/5ths human? Either you believe there’s a thinking thing being forced to create child abuse material or you don’t.

        Why do you think that intelligence of any kind is that linear or simple, let alone artificially built ones?

        It = literally a dictionary right

        It’s literally mathematically not a dictionary.

        Said “threat” is literally AI marketing PR. You are doing their job for them by being afraid

        And you know this because you’ve personally used and tested current AI models?

  Actual AI would be more than “just math”, but LLMs aren’t AI, so the comparison is moot.

  Now we’ve built a collection of simulated neurons, at a scale close to that of the human brain, and trained it on the entirety of the human language

  We are not even close to anything of the sort. We’ve got a probability machine that’s mostly decent at human language. The other two are much farther down the road (if they’re even possible) than you or the rest of the tech bros are trying to convince everyone else of.

  LLM are like shuffling a bunch of words in a hat and by some dumb luck pulling out a complete sentence.

    And how does the human brain work?
