    AI is a deep learning algorithm used for information retrieval with dubious accuracy.

    It doesn’t think. It has no awareness or understanding. It’s not intelligent. It certainly can’t come up with something new or creative like an intelligent person can.

    These types of people don’t know the difference between having an answer and understanding. It’s why when AI solves a long running math problem, it’s practically useless to us.

    ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is, and always has been since the term was conjured in 1956, a marketing term for a pseudoscience.

    Anyone who is impressed by the function, or output, of a LLM, to the level they believe it is in any way adjacent to intelligence, must be quarantined from the decision making processes of systems which affect anyone not similarly cognitively impaired.

    Now, lately. Specifically? Recently. Totally particularly, it happened on a certain date.

    Much wow

    Proper headline for anytime Altman and Musk make some statement: “Sociopath with too much money makes ridiculous claim.”

    Ah yes, the “AIs” that are still basically glorified text prediction are definitely “smarter”.

    I have always associated smart to a persons accumulated knowledge. But intelligent to how well you reason. So sure, AI is smarter. But that just means it can win at jeopardy.

    If it’s so smart, maybe they should ask it to come up with a viable business strategy, because he sure as hell hasn’t figured it out, lol.

    Is it because he thinks he is the brightest human scientist, but it turns out he’s actually pretty stupid?

    Funny how AI has supposedly surpassed the greatest scientists, yet the greatest scientific discovery here is always announced by the guy selling subscriptions. If it really is that smart, perhaps it could explain to Sam the difference between a peer reviewed breakthrough and a product launch.
