The half serious jokes about sentient AI, made by dumb animals on reddit are no closer to the mark than an attempt to piss on the sun. AI can’t be advancing at a pace greater than we think, unless we think it’s not advancing at all. There is no god damn AI. It’s a language model that uses a stochastic calculation to print out the next word each time. It barely holds on to a few variables at a time, it’s got no grasp on anything, no comprehension, let alone a promise of sentience.
There are plenty of stuff and people that get to me, but few are as good at it as idiot tech bros, their delusions and their extremely warped perspective.
Exactly. It’s just statistics, it’s not really useful beyond what it has been trained on, but people seem to think that it’s something it’s not. I guess that is the fault of the advertising push by these corporations to market these statistical algorithms as “AI”

Some believe (in this thread included) that by denigrating living human beings and calling them “meat computers” that the LLMs seem that much closer to being sapient, and they thusly provide a false dichotomy choice between agreeing with that take or else you’re a faith healing crystal touching New Age mystic.
