Dude, you do know that it’s not actually an intelligence right?
You’re not actually talking to anything.
It’s just a computer program that synthesizes info from database along a pre-programmed method of analyzing the prompts to maximize the satisfaction from its results.
(Or something like that)
Hey...catch up. It’s called “machine learning”. Don’t be an idiot.
“You’re not actually talking to anything.”
Hey...I talk to the TV and radio a lot.
“Dude, you do know that it’s not actually an intelligence right?”
Ok, maybe that applies.
I’d argue that greatly trivializes what it is doing. It’s simulating individual neurons in our brain and their weights and biases (synapses) between them and the neurotransmission between trillions of other simulated neurons.
The neural network is ‘trained’ with data sets from billions of sources. The result is something that has vast ‘knowledge’ and is unpredictable in how it will cross reference the information and respond to prompts. So it is a form of intelligence. Is it self aware? No. Is it simulating some brain functions? Yes. Is it an ‘if then else’ type program just referencing a database for responses? No.
While the ‘training’ can be biased by providing subjective materials that lean in one direction vs. another, there is no ‘pre-programmed’ response. It is highly unpredictable, even for the creators. It’s output can be ‘shaped’ by prior prompts and context - which makes it an insanely capable tool, especially for technical topics that are less subjective (like politics or religion).
I use it almost every day to assist in various technical tasks, especially those that require written information - processes, specifications, etc., even to challenge technical ideas. It will tell you how you may be wrong. Yes, everything requires human review and validation but it creates content and does analysis faster than any human.
...the technology is accelerating at a frightening pace, going beyond any individual understanding - this is the warning Elon has been arguing, but it is like the race to the A-Bomb....you don’t want to be 2nd - and similarly, nobody knows what the actual outcome will be.
I didn’t see where the OP claimed it was ‘intelligent’. He/she just seems interested in how it responds and functions.
