"Furthermore, they will contest, there is no “magic”. As Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, posted on X in 2023, “Everything ‘creative’ is a remix of things that happened in the past, plus epsilon and times the quality of the feedback loop and the number of iterations”"
Wow first time Ive read this. The hubris of Silicon Valley couldnt come crash down any sooner.
- nic_du 1y agoI agree. I would love to see AI come up with novel theories like quantum mechanics or the theory of relativity. They don't feel like a remix of previous things that happened in the past to me... He could test that theory himself by training an AI model with data that predates these theories and ask the AI to come up with a theory explaining the results observed during a double slit experiment.
