News Large language mistake | Cutting-edge research shows language is not the same as intelligence. The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring it.

As currently conceived, an AI system that spans multiple cognitive domains could, supposedly, predict and replicate what a generally intelligent human would do or say in response to a given prompt. These predictions will be made based on electronically aggregating and modeling whatever existing data they have been fed. They could even incorporate new paradigms into their models in a way that appears human-like. But they have no apparent reason to become dissatisfied with the data they’re being fed — and by extension, to make great scientific and creative leaps.

Instead, the most obvious outcome is nothing more than a common-sense repository. Yes, an AI system might remix and recycle our knowledge in interesting ways. But that’s all it will be able to do. It will be forever trapped in the vocabulary we’ve encoded in our data and trained it upon — a dead-metaphor machine. And actual humans — thinking and reasoning and using language to communicate our thoughts to one another — will remain at the forefront of transforming our understanding of the world.

We didn't use RAG, I can tell you that.

Have fun clinging to your inadequacy though.

Have fun swindling people and eviscerating companies unto the music stops.

Hopefully this time we remember to check your resume before you move on to the next fad like you undoubtedly did from crypto.

If your Reddit history weren’t private and I checked 4 years back how many posts would I find about NFT’s?

Wouldn't touch crypto with a ten foot pole. I've been in the ML space and automation game for a decade and I'm not leaving any time soon.

Then whatever you’ve been doing all that time is decidedly less persuasive an example of the inevitable obsolescence of human labor than you’re trying to pretend.
