the AI thing is nothing but hype. as many people here have commented already in other threads — it’s like your super smart friend who knows tons of information, but it a complete retard when it comes to social interactions and functions.

I somehow got a chatbot installed on my phone (it just appeared there) I asked it “why do minority youth like to eat fried chicken” and it refused to answer. maybe I need to pay for the smarter version!

The AI thing the public has access to is nothing like what is being tested in the lab.

And even ChatGPT is only as smart as the user.

Ask dumb questions, get dumb answers.

I asked ChatGPT to write me a program in Visual Basics for Applications (VBA) to replace some complicated routines that I use on Excel spreadsheets for analyzing and comparing stock performance and it did so in about 10 seconds.

It took me about 30 minutes to develop the question correctly though.

From what I understand, it is not an AI in the standard sense. It isn’t examining the actual meanings of words, it is just looking at statistical correlations between the words a user types in and the words on its vast database of Reddit posts, Wikipedia articles, New York times articles, etc.

You could ask it to explain Einstein’s theory of relativity using modern knowledge, but if you gave it the information available to Einstein in his time only it could not “figure it out” on its own.
