> It is likely that Here's the real problem: We're on a forum in which most of the participants are in at least the top 0.1% of technical ability, and yet here we are waving our hands and speculating on "what AIs think" and how "they probably/likely compute" things. Last week I met with a director of a new "AI" research group, chuffed to the nines with a massive research grant he just landed. I'm happy for him, with only one little concern - that he knows nothing whatsoever about machine learning or mathematics and outspokenly doesn't believe that "knowledge is that important in the new reality". Copyright infringement is an inconvenience for people who worry about that sort of stuff. Sure. But don't you all see a much more serious issue? It's bad enough that code is already so precariously bloated and over-complex nobody bothers to debug critical applications any more. Now we want to add "assistance" from tools that nobody understands.
