   @GeofCox @ChrisMayLA6 On top of this, the stuff currently called "AI" (LLMs etc) is necessarily, functionally, about optimal simulation to deceive that the output is intelligent. Functionally, what it's doing, is choosing the sequence of tokens most likely, based on statistics derived from existing human written works (and now also existing AI slop 🙃), to be perceived as possibly having come from that corpus, conditioned on a partial token sequence.

     You know, that looks EXACTLY what AI slop would generate 😂

     @n_dimension @GeofCox @ChrisMayLA6 I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a meme or what, but it does not look at all like that in form.

     @Pionir @GeofCox @ChrisMayLA6 It's not even complex code. It's just stupidly simple code at billionaire VC scale.

     @dalias @GeofCox @ChrisMayLA6 as my friends are sick of me saying, AI isn't intelligent, it's just complex code
