It’s hard not to say “AI” when everybody else does too, but technically calling it AI is buying into the marketing. There is no intelligence there, and it’s not going to become sentient. It’s just statistics, and the danger they pose is primarily through the false sense of skill or fitness for purpose that people ascribe to them.
@Gargron come now! This overstates our current knowledge of the nature of intelligence. LLMs are adaptive, they have memory, they use language to communicate, and they integrate disparate experiences to solve problems. They have many of the hallmarks of what we call intelligence. They have more such characteristics than, say, dolphins or chimps. Us knowing how they work is not a disqualifier for them being intelligent.

@evan @Gargron there are very specific critiques of that article. https://peertube.dair-institute.org/w/gn7Lycfbm684NEi7xok2gf
@KevinMarks @Gargron can you summarize?
@KevinMarks @Gargron yeah, I'm not going to do that. Send me some written critiques though!
@KevinMarks @Gargron I deleted my recommendation of this paper.
