What’s really annoying is so-called Artificial Intelligence (AI)tool called Large Language Model(LLM) being discussed & declared as “sentient”, in it’s current form is ONLY amazing word pattern-matcher. It’s never been nor ever be “sentient” as it doesn’t reason, it pattern matches.See recent paper-arxiv.org/pdf/2410.05229

But because “Nobel prize winner” says it’s “sentient”, then it must be “true” & ignore everyone else, including experts.

It a sales technique no more no less.

The company that designed and manuafactured the Segway descibed it as "a device that would completely revolutionize human transport"; typical American massive oversell and exageration!

Of course, after a brief flurry of success, it flopped and the company went bust with the founders no doubt walking away very rich indeed and the investors very out of pocket indeed!
