AI doesn't think, it is just a fancy madlibs engine.

Isn't AI probabalistic, to what exent is thinking also probabalistic?

Please take a break from posting this dumb crap and actually think about the issue for half a minute. This repeated crap is just a rehash of "Machines can never do X better than people so why worry", well, because shit gets shaken up when machines do X better, faster, and cheaper.

  Would you mind making your point in civilized language? Apart from that, I think everyone has heard your argument as well as the one you are responding to very often by now.

  Generative AI, by definition, produces statisticially average output. Humans produce wildly different output, including lots of statistical outliers on both tails of the distribution. From an economic point of view, all the value creation happens precisely at the tails, where generative AI can't function.

    Is that why it’s acing all the standardized tests with 90th percentiles? Because it’s average? Should be 50% no?

      Bottom 90% doesn't count as human in top brain communities like this

      > Because it’s average? Yes. > Should be 50% no? No. It's giving the statistically average correct answer, which it already knows because it has been trained on answer books for these standardized tests.

      LLMs are way above 50, and that's not even looking at ideas behind specialized networks that are focused on particular training. A world where 9 out of 10 people aren't ever going to catch up to the AI specialist submodule is going to have a lot of problems distributing wealth.

    Why would an adversarial network be bound to the average? From an economic point of view your ideas where a few people make a trillion dollars and the rest struggle to find a means to eat are not valuable, unless you're selling the implements of war and strife. You just end up with a crapsack planet where the rich tell the poor the socialism is bad.

      Any neural network is just maximizing a likelihood function under the hood.
