- immibis 10mo agoNobody knows what thinking is. A real human brain can be simulated with matrix multiplications.
- Eisenstein 10mo agoWhat could an AI do that would convince you that it is able to think?
- bawolff 10mo agoWin a (properly conducted) Turing test
- greekrich92 10mo agoAI or an LLM? LLMs are matrix multiplication word guessing machines, so nothing. AI doesn't exist yet.
- Eisenstein 10mo agoThat's an interesting difference to make. You are defining an AI based on a result (that it displays intelligence) yet dismissing another thing based on method (how it works). By that logic it would have to work by a method which you already define as intelligent in order to display intelligence. Isn't that circular? Let's remove AI or LLM from this question and ask if there is anything any non-biological system could do to convince you that it was thinking?
- rcxdude 10mo ago"think" is not sufficiently defined to assign an objective truth value to that statement.
