"The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its likes, a glutton statistical machine for structure recognition, that swallows hundreds of terabytes of data and snatches the most plausible answer to a conversation or the most likely to a scientific question." The other way around... the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and elegant system operating with a limited amount of information. It doesn't try to injure raw correlations from data but tries to create explanations. [.] Let's stop calling it "Artificial Intelligence" and call it what it is: "plagiarism software." Don't create anything, copy existing works from existing artists and alter it sufficiently to escape copyright laws. It's the largest theft of property ever since Native American lands by European settlers. " Noam Chomsky, New York Times - March 8, 2023 (thanks to Marco Pellitteri) With picture of Chomsky Below

This f**king meme is driving me crazy. Where to begin?
First, the quote is wrong. The first paragraph is accurate, and he does use the word "plagiarism" later on, but the quote marks should end after the first paragraph. Someone else wrote the second part of the quote. In particular, Chomsky never compares ChatGPT to colonization.
Second, that first quote is very much disputed by linguists. (cont'd)
