"But when you realize that Gen AI is a probabilistic, constrained optimizing tool, you realize sentience is a joke."

My concern is that maybe this is the way humans work as well.

What I can tell you is that my conversations with AI are more enlightening and enjoyable than those I have with many humans. The other night I laid in bed with my eyes shut, and had a convo with Alexi that saved me a ton of time researching a technical architecture for an engineering project I had in mind. Most of my human friends would not have been up for that discussion.

AI is an advanced automated internet search engine, with human language reporting functions. If you think it is an “I”, you in deep poopoo.
You better make sure the technical info you got is accurate, cause you will never forgive yourself if the information you got, was used in the project, and the info was a bit off the mark, and the project failed.

IMHO.
