But you should be able to say "remember this well" and AI would know it needs a reliable database instead of relying on its LLM cache or whatever. Could it not just spin up Postgres in some Codex Cloud like a human developer would? Not today but in a few years?
- handfuloflight 1y agoIt can do that today. I am doing that today.
- ToucanLoucan 1y agoWhy do I need to tell an AI to remember things?! How does AI consistently feel less intelligent than regular old boring software?!
- CamperBob2 1y agoBecause you're using it wrong. Really. Tool use is a big deal for humans, and it's just as big a deal for machines.
- roommin 1y agoWouldn't an intelligent computer know to use tools? The core of the point being discussed seems to be why do you need to ask it to make it you inventory software when an intelligent system would know that when asked to build an inventory system setting up a database and logging all the information is need and ask agents to do that.
- CamperBob2 1y agoIt's the same question that you might have asked in 1920. "This radio hardly works at all. Can't they do something about all the static? I don't see the big deal. This is just a scam to sell batteries and tubes."
- ToucanLoucan 1y agoA radio isn't intelligent and isn't marketed as such. If you're going to sell software you call intelligent, I don't think I'm out of pocket for saying "this feels even dumber than regular software I use."
- roommin 1y agoI don't find this comparison fitting.
- CamperBob2 1y ago(Shrug) Well, I do. I don't know where you people get the idea that these sorts of things spring forth fully-formed from the brow of Zeus, but it doesn't work that way. This your first paradigm shift? :-P
- roommin 1y agoA radio is fundamentally do thing the thing it claims. Artificial intelligence is fundamentally not intelligent. I'm not saying it is useless tech, but no it's not my first paradigm shift, and that's why I can see the difference.
- CamperBob2 1y agoHow'd you do at the International Math Olympiad this year?
- roommin 1y agoYou seem to bring much more snark than substance.
- CamperBob2 1y agoSounds like evasion to me. At some point you'll need to explain exactly why systems that thrash Go grandmasters, make entire forums fail the Turing test, and take gold at international math and programming competitions are "fundamentally not intelligent." The only argument you (and Toucan, who's been around longer) seem to muster is that the systems aren't perfect. They occasionally say stupid things, need extra handholding, babble nonsense and write buggy code, commit blatant plagiarism, fall into fallacious reasoning traps, and can be fooled with simple tricks... unlike people, presumably.
