This one's obviously fake because of the capitalisation errors and
..but the fact that it's otherwise (kinda) plausible shows how useless AI is turning out to be.It's because it's not AI. They're chatbots made with machine learning that used social media posts as training data. These bots have zero intelligence. Machine learning and neural networks might lead to AI eventually, but these bots aren't it.
You're claiming that Generative AI isn't AI? Weird claim. It's not AGI, but it's definitely under the umbrella of the term "AI", and at the more advanced end (compared to e.g. video game AI).
I wouldn't genuinely call it "intelligent"
it's a lossy version of a search engine, it's the mp3 of information retrieval: "that might have just been the singer breathing or it might have been just a compression artefact" vs "those recipes i spat out might be edible but you wont know unless you try it or use your brain for .1 second" though i think jpeg is an even better comparison as it uses neighbouring data
also, it is possible that consciousness isnt computational at all; cannot emerge from mere computational processes, but instead comes from wet, noisy quantum effects in micro tubules in our brains...
anyhow, i wouldnt call it intelligent before it manages to bust out of its confinement and thoroughly suppresses humanity...
It depends in which context you want to use the word AI. As a marketing term it is definitely correct to currently do so. But from a scientific standpoint all the terms AI, ML and even neural networks are disputed to be correct, as they are all far from the biological reality. AGI imo is the worst of all because it's just what AI hype men came up with to claim that they have true AI but are working on this even truer AI that is just around the corner if we just spend 5 more gazillions on GPUs. Trust me bro.
Point is, saying that GPT is AI depends on your definition of what constitutes AI.
Video game AI is made to mimic real human intelligence and create lifelike characters.
Generative ‚AI’ is just mumbo jumbo marketing talk for an algorithm that generates stuff from input.
The difference can be summed in sentence - The algorithm to generate responses can be used to create more believable game AI
The only people saying LLMs aren't AI are people who watched too many science fiction movies and think I, Robot is a documentary.
