Pet peeve of the day: all the people talking about how ChatGPT is not “conscious” and how it does not “understand” what it is saying, but just putting likely-sounding words together into likely-sounding sentences.
Extra bonus points for using an example of a math problem as a way to show how these AI chat-bots talk about things they don’t really understand.
The irony. The lack of self-awareness. It burns.
@Inginsub that’s not what I claim. I claim that the people talking about “understanding” do not themselves have the very understanding that they are taking about.
They are literally just doing the same thing they talk about ChatGPT doing: putting likely words into sentences that sound good.
Smarter people than me and you have gone down crazy rabbit holes in this area for centuries.
@torvalds @Inginsub maybe would be good for technicians, engineers and computer scientists to just do and talk about what they know, instead of pontificating about every other aspect of knowledge. Please, write your code and let philosopher, psychologist and neuroscientist do their job. You do not simply have knowledge to manage this kind of subject. Mind, consciousness are not things amongst things. Human beings are not machines. Stop say all kind of bullshit.
