"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.

Not everything AI researchers develop is suddenly AI. That's my point, and they know that. What you're implying is that as soon as the field developed AI existed, and not before. It being made by AI researchers is not the definition of AI.
Its also not an issue with it not being full human intelligence. It isn't intelligent at all. It doesn't think about what it outputs. It's just a statistical model. It's a very advanced statistical model that creates the appearance of intelligence, but it isn't intelligent.
Then what is AI? Or do you think there's no intermediate steps between Turning Machine and full intelligence?
There are many intermediate steps. That's what the field of AI work has been doing. This is but one of many steps. It is not intelligent though, so it isn't AI. It is just a step. A basic Turing Machine is also just a step, and you wouldn't call it AI, would you?
