There's a sort of existential dread once man has created a machine that can perform on par with man himself. We don't want to face the truth so we move the goal posts and definitions.
To reason is now a human behavior. We moved the goal posts so we don't have to face the truth that AI crossed a barrier with the creation of LLMs. It doesn't really matter, there's no turning back now.

- cess11 2y agoWe can create beings "on par with man himself". If you ask around where you live someone will likely be able to show you some small ones and might perhaps introduce you to the activity that brings them to life.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoRight, obviously man/child is on par with man himself. I’m obviously talking about something on par with man himself but isn’t a man or even human. It is something else.
- cess11 2y agoA non-human that can eat and gossip and make babies? What is this something?
- ninetyninenine 2y agoA non human that is more intelligent than you and can outthink you and understand you better than you. That’s where the trendline is pointing.
