All of it lacks any connection to senses, emotions and particularly, motor cortexes. Ie, there’s no syntactical flow. It has no essence. No drop offs, it’s a kind of grammatical static and that includes the imagery. How engineers thought this was a good idea is perplexing.
- brokensegue 11mo agoI know what you're saying. But what you are describing isn't "AI". It isn't even "LLMs". It's one particular use of that technology. I was trying to zoom in on exactly what people don't like.
- Marshferm 11mo agoRemember, there are no algorithms in nature. The binary has a different relationship to data in and of itself (data is analog). When we speak of syntactical essence, we’re speaking more than simply AI, I’m including the binary cauterization. The sterile solutionism that tears away the syntax from operation is a massive hole, a void that segregates animal thought from machine. Know what you are really talking about. That engineers do not recognize the toyness, the cheap practicality of remaining at the binary at the expense of syntax-analog says an immense amount of where we are and how bad things are. What's so shocking I think is how comp sci programs separated fromeven basic principles of engineering to craft software. Engineers at least had to adhere to resonances and structural loads and geologic principles. Software has no tether to reality except as A/B tested cog-sci intuition, which has nothing to do with neuroscience or even psychology. The only rules of software is to get the audience using it and extracting value "within reason" which is dictated by Wall Street. Software is in a sense, where animal life goes to die. Try seeing AI as the symptom humanity can finally recognize about how badly the last 50 years have been of the PC age.
- brokensegue 11mo agosounds like you agree that when people say "AI" they aren't referring to the concept in a narrow sense.
- Marshferm 11mo agoThere is no narrow sense, it's a paradoxical phrase, like conduit metaphor. Intelligence can never be artificial. Math is never a model that reaches sentience. Software is neither engineering nor is it science. It inhabits some bizarre overlap with reality that is pretext simula. AI is software's achille's heel giveaway. It was a bad idea from the beginning, Von Neumann, Shannon, McCullough got it entirely wrong (though Shannon admitted as such late in career).
