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.

I don't even think necessarily that they've lost their mind. We built a machine that is incapable of thought or consciousness, yes, but is fine tuned to regurgitate an approximation of it. We built a sentience-mirror, and are somehow surprised that people think the reflection is its own person.
I'd always thought that philosophical zombies were a fiction. Now we've built them.
Even more than a sentence mirror, it will lead you into a fantasy realm based on the novels it's trained on, which often include... AI becoming sentient. It'll play the part if you ask it.
