LLMs generate theses kind of graph by writing a python program that plot a real dataset.

Assuming it even correctly does that. And why is that even necessary? People were able to make graphs before AI. It isn’t hard to do, and the piddling amount of data on display hardly needs a custom python program to plot it.

that's also the nature of humans.

Thoughts are more than statistical associations, and anyone telling you that you can make a humanlike consciousness through a glorified autocorrect is a scam artist.

People were able to make graphs before AI.

The times, and skill level required to make this graph dropped significantly.
Before, you may not even had this graph.

Thoughts are more than statistical associations

Do you even know -how- you think ? Anyone telling you they know how thought process works in the brain is a scam artist, you can't make any comparison between how work the two because we don't know how both operate to produce the output.

PS:

a humanlike consciousness

Does consciousness exists at all ? I can argue it's an illusion born from the ability of self reflection.

Does conscipusness exist at all?

Yes. The entire physical world may be an illusion for all I know, but the only thing I can be truly certain of is my conscious experience of it. There is simply no way for me to doubt my own consciousness as such, but I can doubt what I am conscious of.

So you are saying, since you see the illusion, it must be real ?

[–] jonion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'm saying that no matter what I see, illusory or not, I cannot doubt that I am seeing it.
