When I heard that line I was like "Yeah, sure. We'll never have AI in my lifespan" and you know what? I was right.
What I wasn't expecting was for a bunch of tech bros to create an advanced chatbot and announce "Behold! We have created AI, let's have it do all of our thinking for us!" while the chatbot spits out buggy code and suggests mixing glue into your pizza sauce.
I genuinely do not understand these very obviously biased comments. By the very definition of AI, we have had it for decades, and suddenly people say we don't have it? I don't get it. Do you hate LLMs so much you want to change the entire definition for AI (and move it under AGI or something)? This feels unhinged, disconnected from reality, biases so strong it looks like delusions
What is delusional is calling a token generator intelligent. These programs don't know what the input is, nor do they understand what they put out. They "know" that after this sequence of tokens, what a likely successive token is based on previously supplied data.
They understand nothing. They generate nothing new. They don't think. They are not intelligent.
They are very cool, very impressive and quite useful. But intelligent? Pffffffh
Hey, real quick, what has the thing controlling the enemies in video games been called for 50 years and would you equally call that delusional, or are you just specifically butthurt at LLMs?
I always called them bots when doing bot matches in GRAW, Unreal Tournament, etc. All my friends did, too. Actually not sure I've ever heard PvE nor bots called "AI," if that's what you meant. Maybe now but I don't game anymore so I wouldn't know.
What controls the bots? The term used by the people making the games, the thing that controls what the bots do?
Literally always has been called AI, because that's exactly what it is: faked smarts
Code.
Which is called....? I get what you're trying to do but it makes you look dumb
C++
Alright, so you're willingly an idiot, gotcha
No u
Relax. Language isn't going to change overnight.
"AI" can have different meanings to different people in different contexts. That's how words work.
The important things we can agree on is that AI scientists are doing interesting and dangerous work, and tech bro snake oil salesmen suck.
