>It shows the Singularity as it happens. It really does. I cannot think of anything in the film (or novel by D. F. Jones, of which it is a very faithful adaptation, and I think superior) that would contradict Colossus being a large language model. There is even a scene in the novel (I can't remember if it's also in the film) which is, basically, a word for word duplicate of the endless "Write a ______, in the style of ______" prompts overrunning social media since the public gained access to GPT and its cousins. Colossus is a * large language model, * given access to all known human data,[1] * including video and audio, * which displays unexpected emergent behavior including initiative and creativity, * and whose creators admit before said emergence that its complexity exceeds human understanding. [1 The novel explains how this includes things like Shakespeare's sonnets that would seem irrelevant to its military defense purpose, because its creators don't know whether it could be useful.
