[OpenAI CEO Sam] Altman brags about ChatGPT-4.5’s improved “emotional intelligence,” which he says makes users feel like they’re “talking to a thoughtful person.” Dario Amodei, the CEO of the AI company Anthropic, argued last year that the next generation of artificial intelligence will be “smarter than a Nobel Prize winner.” Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google’s DeepMind, said the goal is to create “models that are able to understand the world around us.” These statements betray a conceptual error: Large language models do not, cannot, and will not “understand” anything at all. They are not emotionally intelligent or smart in any meaningful or recognizably human sense of the word. LLMs are impressive probability gadgets that have been fed nearly the entire internet, and produce writing not by thinking but by making statistically informed guesses about which lexical item is likely to follow another.

How “rational” is it to come into a community called, literally, “Fuck AI” and expect pro-AI messaging to be desired and engaged with?
Is “rational” now a synonym for its opposite, like how “literally” now means both itself and “figuratively”?
They said rational. Not pro-AI. And I mean why not? This is a community dedicated to talking about AI, so you could expect people having a basic understanding of what they’re talking about. This could also be a community dedicated to blind hate. I’m not sure. But what I’m sure about is, there are some people with some level of insight, maybe even from the field or who have this as a hobby, who say “fuck AI” for the impact on society and climate it has, or for it being used against the people in some way or another… So yeah. I’m opposed to the blind hate. I’d rather hate it for the facts. And that’s the reason I also advocate for “rational”.
Which part of “Fuck AI” was unclear? There’s only two words there (well, a word and an initialization if you want to get picky). Which one of those was unclear?

Interesting. I had the same advice in mind for you. Amazing how that works.
Buh-bye idiot guy.
The “AI” part seems to be unclear to some people. That’s why we’re having this argument. And I think I have a rough understanding, but the “fuck” part is unclear to me, because I have nuance when I f***… There are different ways of doing it, not just one. So I’d say it’s both words.
