Interestingly enough I think calling large language models a.i. is doing too much to humanize them. Because of how scifi literature has built up a.i. as living beings with actual working thought processes deserving of the classification of person (bicentennial man etc) a lot of people want to view a.i. as entities. And corporations pushing a.i. can take advantage of your soft feelings toward it like that. But LLMs are nowhere close to that, and tbh I don't even feel the way they learn approaches it. Word order guessing machines can logic the way to a regular sounding sentence but thats not anything approaching having a conversation with a person. Remembering what you said is just storing the information you are typing into it, its not any kind of indication of existence. And yet, so many people online are acting like when my grandma was convinced siri was actually a lady living in her phone. I think we need to start calling Large Language Models "LLMs" and not giving the corps pushing them more of an in with the general public. Its marketing spin, stop falling for it.

#ai #llms #chatgpt #character ai #the fic ive seen written with it is also so sad and bland #even leaving the ethical qualms behind in the fact its trained off uncompensated work stolen off the internet and then used to make #commercial work outside the fic sphere #it also does a bad job #please read more quality stuff so you can recognize this #edit: in the og post I used the term language learning models instead of large language models because of the ways nueral networks were #described to me in the past but large language models is the correct terminology so I edited the post #this has zero effect on the actual post messaging because large language models are indeed the same ones I was describing #advanced mad libs machines are not sentient and nothing about them approaches a mode of becoming sentient #stop talking to word calculators and absolutely never put them in a management situation
