"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

You think you are saying things which proves you are knowledgeable on this topic, but you are not.
The human brain is not a computer. And any comparisons between the two are wildly simplistic and likely to introduce more error than meaning into the discourse.
The human brain is exactly like an organic highly parallel computer system using convolution system just like ai models. It's just way more complex. We know how synapses work. We know the form of grey matter. It's too complex for us to model it all artificially at this point, but there's nothing indicating it requires a magical function to make it work.
What is this whole "human beings are special and have a soul?". You happen to experience things you "feel", that's it. Everything else is just like a specialized computer, shapped by nature to act in a certain way.
If you think you can hand-wave consciousness, self-awareness, sentience, and qualia away in a tossed-off social media post, good luck with that. 🤣
I don't possess conscious experience and even I think this whole thread is crap.
