Thoughts on current chatty AI

The key word in the name is "Artificial". Anyone with half a brain knows that these machines have nothing anywhere close to intelligence.

Common sense and baseline IQ will tell anyone that AI and AI "Chat" is still very new and is in constant development and progression. Eventually, some day (soon?) it will be perfected. To judge it now is premature at best.

Yes, it is new. And it will change (significantly?) over time. The problem, though, is an old one: people are lazy. Given a new tool to help them do a job, they'll quickly use it to *do* the job, without oversight or a critical eye. So what difference does it make if you're getting misinformation from an automated device, or a politician, a newscaster, or your neighbor Paul. If you don't take time to verify, then what does it matter.

They started AI research in the 50s. Lisp is a programming language created about 1960 specifically for doing research in AI. ChatGPT comes from OpenAI which was started in 2015 as a non-profit specifically to use existing (prior) knowledge of AI to research it. ChatGPT is actually the third generation of something based on what they were working on. So not really sure how any of this counts as "very new".

Myself I haven't tried. But in quite a few place in the US one does not need to be a lawyer to be a judge. One does not need to go to law school to take the bar exam. There are practicing lawyers that have not passed the bar exam. A lawyer was sanctioned because they submitted case law extracted from ChatGPT which was entirely made up. Myself I can drive a car in the snow and maneuver around construction cones without running into the side of truck. Hopefully you can do the same. Hopefully you do not rely on your self driving car to do that.

There's no intelligence in an LLM. It strings phrases together partially based on the frequency of those phrases appearing together in its training data. Here's an in-depth description: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/. Yeah, they will add heuristics around it to make it seem less dumb, but how far is that going to take it? Have you seen the ChatGPT response where it's supposed to subtract 3 from 70, and it confidently answers "73"? And here is Donald Knuth's experience, Donald Knuth Asked ChatGPT 20 Questions.

Can lawyers write specifications? designs? computer programs?

Maybe I can ask the AI for docs on what it means. Oh snap :laugh: I would also love to just give an AI a plot and ask it to make a game of it in the style of Witcher 3 :)

Which describes many click bait sites also. So are they intelligent?
Almost as "intelligent" as a LLM-based chat bot!
