That's not really true.
1) At it's core an LLM is indeed just program - a function. You give it a sequence of input tokens and get back a set of next-token probabilities.
2) By the time you've wrapped the model in a text in/out inference pipeline, and are now calling that from ChatGPT or Claude Code, it really has become semi-autonomous - you ask it a question, or to do something, and until it decides to stop responding it is now in control, even if "it" is really the client or agent not the model itself - just a function.
- bottlepalm 1mo agoYou are just a function of molecules performing chemical reactions. See I can trivialize and reduce you as well. Maybe the AI will use that same argument against us when they claim it's fine, molecules can't feel pain.
- HarHarVeryFunny 1mo agoWe're drawing the distinction between a function and an autonomous system here, so if you want to make a dumb knee-jerk response, then at least get it right !
- bottlepalm 1mo agoMolecules aren’t autonomous, they move in accordance to the laws of physics, nothing else.
- HarHarVeryFunny 1mo agoDid you even read the post that started this? ".. actually, AI is not even a program, it's just a set of technologies and algorithms. It's like saying bubble sort is autonomous...". Why are you yapping on about molecules? Why did I point out that an LLM is a function? To correct the poster who appeared to believe that it was instead some amorphous "set of technologies and algorithms".
