[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.

    This could also be a community dedicated to blind hate.

    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.
