Yeah boring, god of the gaps.
Imagine being the 10000th person to give this uninspired take.
> Cats have a representation of the world that help them navigate it. They also have instincts programmed into their brains, allowing them to act with relative logic. In contrast, GPT and Co only have patterns of human-written text devoid of meaning.
This is wrong. To say chatgpt doesn't represent the world instead it only has patterns is distinction without difference. This is the new dualism. There is "real understanding" and AI can't do that by definition because "understanding" isn't anything except being a human and acting apparently.
The Loki thought experiment is laughable.
- intelVISA 4y agoIt's always tech-adjacent types that drop these crap takes from what I've seen. Maybe they're threatened as SWEs are last to go when LLMs can generate code - someone has to check it; we just won't need two PMs, scrum lord and a BI attaché for that... ChatGPT has allowed me to explore programming topics where there is, otherwise, very little useful information - it won't produce good code verbatim but it doesn't have to - it's my robotic rubber duck.
- fzeroracer 4y agoIf there is otherwise very little information then where do you think ChatGPT is pulling that information from? It does not pull stuff out of the void, it's only as accurate as the data shoved into it and that data can be very wrong. People get into a state of false confidence using ChatGPT for things they cannot easily fact check.
- intelVISA 4y agoAbsolutely, it's comically wrong most of the time but it's still a useful tool to solidify understanding in a way that's hard to do organically.
