I find it bizarre that people find these obvious cases to prove the tech is worthless. Like saying cars are worthless because they can't go under water.
Not bizarre at all.
The point isn't "they can't do word games therefore they're useless", it's "if this thing is so easily tripped up on the most trivial shit that a 6-year-old can figure out, don't be going round claiming it has PhD level expertise", or even "don't be feeding its unreliable bullshit to me at the top of every search result".
I don't want to defend ai again, but it's a technology, it can do some things and can't do others. By now this should be obvious to everyone. Except to the people that believe everything commercials tell them.
How many people do you think know that AIs are "trained on tokens", and understand what that means? It's clearly not obvious to those who don't, which are roughly everyone.
You don't have to know about tokens to see what ai can and cannot do.
Go to an art museum and somebody will say 'my 6 year old can make this too', in my view this is a similar fallacy.
That makes no sense. That has nothing to do with it. What are you on about.
That's like watching tv and not knowing how it works. You still know what to get out of it.
