If, in fact, AI output does lack all meaning, then that should provide a major competitive advantage to humans. After all, isn't the search for meaning one our basest motivations?
- polynomial 5y agoRight, and because we are so completely caught up in the search for the meaningful, we don't have a complete idea of what it is. There isn't a scientific test for whether something is meaningful. (Only how much information something conveys; Shannon literally discarded meaning to formalize information measure.) Thus not knowing exactly what it is, it's not terribly surprising when we are fooled by our own attempts to produce its facsimile.
