@undergrowthfeed The hubris is with the people who genuinely believe that they are creating something they're not.

I'm not rooted in religious ideas about how special humans are. I'm not saying what's possible, I'm saying what the current system is programmed to do.

It's not open-ended. It's not a strange loop. It's not a genetic algorithm or any kind of self-modifying algorithm. It's built for the specific purpose of predicting what a plausible next line in a conversation would be, based on the text form alone.

But don't trust me, listen to experts like https://dair-community.social/@timnitGebru and https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender (I'm not mention-spamming them).

I highly recommend listening to headgum.com/factually-with-ada… and headgum.com/factually-with-ada… .
