This is one of the most well-written explanations of certain kinds of AI errors I’ve seen to date. (The whole article is great too.)

If you ask a schoolteacher why an animal does something, one often gets an answer based on what we observe to be the result of an action as if a lizard can think
It's not a human and is flawed. It isn't just stats any more though.
Yeah, statistics, probability and people is not a good combo and very misunderstood.
Well, I added the probability side of things.
That lets you see if you're the first person to make something too.
Dude actually understood what llama was and used it correctly.
And why I seemed to have learned a lot about asking the right question first, not just a search for information.
That they have started to build contextual reasoning systems does make it more interesting but I’m still not holding my breath for any real smarts.
Because the fundamentally hard problems from the 70s seems to have been ignored.
Nice article.
Even if you went to the town, how would you find out it was Burundi, if not by taking notice of what 'most people' say?
Like I say, this distinction is a lot less clear than it seems at first. You get Cogito Ergo Sum for free, everything else is Training Data.
Any language is at least a kind of consensus (if not multiple).
& I'm pretty sure 'cogito ergo sum' will be part of the training data.
I’m not impressed that AI isn’t trained to do that.
And yes, reality is a thing, and yes we can know things about it. But saying we as human agents have some special access to it that e.g. LLMs don't is a pretty shaky position. That's all I'm saying.
There is no cogito involved with the LLM.
Plagiarised Information Synthesis System.
YOU COULD DO THIS SHIT SINCE THE 90s, FUCK YOU, trying to make it seem like we have to accept it cause its already integrated.
So it's predicting what a person like that would say.
A helpful honest knowledgeable person will give the correct answer.
So it's predicting the correct answer.
Need to dig into this stuff.
My gut whenever I see any of it is very..... superficiality I guess. It gives the impression of, but is truthfully a car park puddle. A very oily one at that.
Saving this article, thank you.
Anyone else getting the vibe of Her?
Spike Jonze from 2013 odd. Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Scarlett Johansson.
Because the last part really reads as Her on a few levels.
Very interesting so far.
Crowd sourcing
The model doesn't have access to the training data after it's done training
But, yeah chatgpt is basically just a very advanced auto-complete
It's a story about a man whose most meaningful relationship was with a chatbot which he migrated from platform to platform. And it's being sold as a "AI can be great friends!"
Wow.
