    They hooked some scientists up to some electrodes, picked the ones that glowed the brightest, and then made them take an IQ test. The AI scored higher. Some have suggested the scientists may have scored higher if they were removed from the electrodes first.

    AI is a deep learning algorithm used for information retrieval with dubious accuracy.

    It doesn’t think. It has no awareness or understanding. It’s not intelligent. It certainly can’t come up with something new or creative like an intelligent person can.

    These types of people don’t know the difference between having an answer and understanding. It’s why when AI solves a long running math problem, it’s practically useless to us.

    ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is, and always has been since the term was conjured in 1956, a marketing term for a pseudoscience.

    Anyone who is impressed by the function, or output, of a LLM, to the level they believe it is in any way adjacent to intelligence, must be quarantined from the decision making processes of systems which affect anyone not similarly cognitively impaired.

    If Sam believes that, will he replace himself with AI and retire already? Pretty please? … It’s so easy to catch the ultra-rich in their lies; they simply can’t be bothered to speak believably.

    Are we in “Altman says” for the next five years?

    Proper headline for anytime Altman and Musk make some statement: “Sociopath with too much money makes ridiculous claim.”

    I have always associated smart to a persons accumulated knowledge. But intelligent to how well you reason. So sure, AI is smarter. But that just means it can win at jeopardy.

    If it’s so smart, maybe they should ask it to come up with a viable business strategy, because he sure as hell hasn’t figured it out, lol.

      “We have no current plans to make revenue. We have no idea how we may one day generate revenue. We have made a soft promise to investors that once we’ve built this sort of generally intelligent system, basically we will ask it to figure out a way to generate an investment return for you.” - Sam Altman

    Is it because he thinks he is the brightest human scientist, but it turns out he’s actually pretty stupid?

      You can tell how competent someone is at something by how good they think an LLM is at that thing.

        Ai is pretty good at sucking proverbial and metaphorical dick.

        Also generating subtitles for my mother’s foreign films I guess?

        It’s painfully just ok at most tasks. It’s a someone useful tool at a local level with small models doing extremely narrow tasks.

        But anyone who thinks these giant models are remotely beyond just a glorified over priced hobby toy is… Questionably sane.

        They are fun to play with in the same sorta way playing with explosives is.
