#if you MESSAGE me thinking that convergent processing structures b/w ai and brains is a GOTCHA

[chaoticfoolish]

also, consider that these things are trained on posts and comments, not human cognition or even human language (speech, sign language, etc — text is actually a kind of speech surrogate).

when someone gets accused of lying/being wrong on the internet, what do they do? they double-down and antagonize. most people dont intend to demonstrate how a commercially viable ai might interact w an end user

machine learning methods are wildly good mimics. they also confront us w really difficult questions like what do we mean by intelligence, knowledge, etc? but people make crazy fucking cakes that look like A/C units. just bc something looks right from a bunch of different angles ≠ its the same in every meaningful way.

not to be pedantic but it annoys me so much when people talk abt how chatgpt is "lying" or "making things up". or esp when people say it "refuses to admit" to lying. like girl that is a toaster oven
