  • So… not intelligent. In the sense that when someone without enough knowledge of computers and/or LLMs hears “LLM is intelligent” and sees “an LLM tells me X”, they will be likely to believe that X is true, and not without a reason. Exactly this is my main reason against all the use of intelligence-related terms. When spoken by knowledgeable people who do know the difference - yeah, I am all for that. But first we need to cut the crap of advertisement and hype











  • Well, if we are not looking at all the disaster the hype is doing on so many levels (which is fine in the sense that technology and fools are different things), I draw the line at… intelligence, not simulation of hardware. I care lot less if something before me runs on carbon, metal or, say, sulfur than I care if it is intelligent

    And as someone has already pointed out, even defining intelligence is damn hard, and different intelligence works differently (someone who is great at moving their body, like dancers or martial artists, is definitely more intelligent than me in quite a few areas, even if I know math or computers better than them). So… “artificial intelligence” as a bunch of algorithms (including LLM) etc - no problem with me, “artificial intelligence” as “this thing is thinking” or “this thing is just as good as a human artist/doctor/lawyer” - nah, bullshit


  • Wow, do I wholeheartedly thank you for this. Yes, we need something better, and I want to see more of “I think this will work better than what we have, because…”, and not “I think capitalism is bad”. Me personally would have started not with the system but people, buut as long as every aspect of life is going to eventually taken care of, bottom-up or top-down way of getting there does not really matter
