Of course, you know exactly what you’re talking about and you are a very smart person. Completely my fault for never having even read a paragraph blurb on how they work.
Hi, computer science degree here, have built a neural network based system for a previous employer (which is the core technology LLMs are built on), and 20 years software engineering experience, but also very heavily against modern “AI” systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc (so not blind tech bro).
They’re not wrong. “AI” that we have now has zero intelligence and zero consciousness by any definition I’ve ever seen.
All they do is boil down how closely we relate certain words. How commonly a word appears in the same context as another word.
All the human like output is not thinking, it’s math. Modern systems like ChatGPT appear so logical because they’ve added a metric butt load of code on top to process the prompts and outputs but it is all smoke and mirrors and discrete steps in code.
You’re welcome to present a counter argument, I don’t want to speak in vague terms. If you think there’s some other factor we should be considering that make them more like a very alien life than a bunch of math, I’m happy to hear the argument. I don’t know if I’ll agree with it, but if you have an argument that goes beyond conspiracy theories about rich evil people (who don’t need conspiracy theories to be rich or evil), I’d honestly prefer to be enlightened.
