Even a couple of years ago, the idea that artificial intelligence might be conscious and capable of subjective experience seemed like pure science fiction.

And it still is.

This is not AI.

There is no such thing as AI.

There probably never will be any such thing as AI.

For the love of humanity, embrace reality.

Having had certain experiences with ChatGPT, I not only think it is not AI... it is not even a great Natural Language Model processor.

[Robert DeLong]

You are absolutely correct. It's artificial, but it is not intelligence. For it can only spit out input provided to it, along with algorithms that instruct it how to conduct its search for the data and algorithms that instruct it how to format the data.

I can erase all the input ChatGPT uses, reload false data and it would do the same thing. Difference being, it wouldn't recognize that what it spit out yesterday is different from what it spit out today, or that the data was correct yesterday, but way off base today.

The same would occur if the algorithms were altered.

The advantage of the machine vs. human is the speed at which the machine can collect the data needed, is so much quicker than most humans are capable of doing.

There is a reason programmers say; garbage in, garbage out. Insert a bug in the instruction set and unpredictable results will occur. Put a bug in it that needs certain conditions to occur before the bug is activated and it may take some time to figure out how the bug is being activated, or even what the bug is. 🤣
