"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.

This is actually the reason why it will never actually become general AI. Because they're not training it with logic they're training it with gobbledy goop from the internet.
It can't understand logic anyway. It can only regurgitate its training material. No amount of training will make an LLM sapient.
Based on what?
Math, physics, the fundamental programming limitations of LLMs in general. If we're ever gonna actually develop an AGI, it'll come about along a completely different pathway than LLMs and algorithmic generative "AI".
Based on what LLMs are. They predict token (usually word) probability. They can't think, they can't understand, they can't question things. If you ask one for a seahorse emoji, it has a seizure instead of just telling you that no such emoji exists.
