Fuck AI

I feel you're wasting your time here. Some people seem to be under the impression it's the year 1990 or 1950 and we're talking about markov chain chatbots. The stochastic parrot argument would certainly apply there. But we're talking about something else here.

And it's also a fairly common misconception that AI somehow has to be intelligent in the same way a human is. And by using the same methods. But it really doesn't work that way. That's why we put the word "Artificial" in front of "Intelligence".

But this take gets repeated over and over again and I don't really know why we need to argue about how maths and statistics are a part of our world, how language and perception work and who is dehumanizing themselves... The scientific approach is to define intelligence, come up with some means of measuring it, and then do it... And that's what we've done. We can get rid of the perception part of language. We can measure how "intelligent" entities can memorize and recall facts, combine them, transfer and apply knowledge... That's not really a secret... I mean obviously it seems to be misunderstood or hyped or whatever by lots of people. But we also (in theory) know some of the facts about AI and what it can and can not do and how that relates to the vague concept of intelligence.
