The quotes are because "AI" doesn't exist. There are many programs and algorithms being used in a variety of way. But none of them are "intelligent".

There is literally no intelligence in a climate model. It's just data + statistics + compute. Please stop participating in the pseudo-scientific grift.

And this is where you show your ignorance. You're using the colloquial definition for intelligence and applying incorrectly.

By definition, a worm has intelligence. The academic, or biological, definition of intelligence is the ability to make decisions based on a set of available information. It doesn't mean that something is "smart", which is how you're using it.

"Artificial Intelligence" is a specific definition we typically apply to an algorithm that's been modelled after the real world structure and behaviour of neurons and how they process signals. We take large amounts of data to train it and it "learns" and "remembers" those specific things. Then when we ask it to process new data it can make an "intelligent" decision on what comes next. That's how you use the word correctly.

Your ignorance didn't make you right.

Except the Neural Net model doesn't actually reproduce everything real, living neurons do. A mathematician in the 70s said, "hey what if this is how brains work?" He didn't actually study brains, he just put forward a model. It's a useful model. But it's also an extreme misrepresentation to say it approximates actual neurons.

lol ok buddy you definitely know more than me

FWIW I think you're conflating AGI with AI, maybe learn up a little

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The term AGI had to be coined because the things they called AI weren't actually AI. Artificial Intelligence originates from science fiction. It has no strict definition in computer science!

Maybe you learn up a little. Go read Isaac Asimov

We have the term AGI because we sometimes want to communicate something more specific, and AI is too broad of a term.

lol Again, you definitely know more than me

I always get such a kick reading comments from extremely overly confident people who know nothing about a topic that I'm an expert in, it's really just peak social media entertainment

Please tell me you don't actually think "AGI" is possible.
