To elaborate a little:
Since many people are unable to tell the difference between a “real human” and an AI, they have been documented “going rogue” and acting outside of parameters, they can lie, they can compose stories and pictures based on the training received. I can’t see AI as less than human at this point because of those points.
When I think about this, I think about that being the reason as to why we cannot create so called “AGI” because we have no proper example or understanding to create it and thus created what we knew. Us.
The “hallucinating” is interesting to me specifically because that seems what is different between the AI of the past, and modern models that acts like our own brains.
I think we really don’t want to accept what we have already accomplished because we don’t like looking into that mirror and seeing how simple our logical process’ are mechanically speaking.
Isn’t that sorta what humans do? Picking words based on the ones used before, taking into consideration the context of the conversation?
Not really. When asked a question, a human would think about the answer, and construct a sentence to try and express that point. An LLM doesn’t know what the answer is ahead of time, it’s not working towards a point, it’s just statistically guessing the next couple of letters over and over again. The human equivalent would just be making random mouth noises and hoping the other person interprets them as words
Only if, like I said, you’re a hardcore fatalist.
