Trying to attribute intelligent intent when there is none. Human brains are just an amalgamation of 20 amino acids and other organic molecules that some bunch of DNA produced to copy themselves. Or: Human brains are ultimately just particles following the unavoidable rules of Quantum Mechanics.
My point being, we are the result of a bunch of DNA molecules selected to make more copies of itself. Our neurons, whatever their internal structure, still reduce to just chemical and physical processes. Yet, here we are. Reductionism is not the way to dismiss emergent phenomena like intelligence, sentience or consciousness.
- mrguyorama 3y agoThe problem is that the scale of "computing" going on in that particle soup is EXPONENTIALLY more than what even the largest "neural net" projects can hope to achieve. Internal chemical and signalling gradients are probably an important part of brain functioning.
- drowsspa 3y agoThat's not the original point. The original point is it can't possibly be intelligent because it's just trained on predicting tokens.
