"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Calling it a fancy autocomplete might not be correct but it isn't that far off.
You give it a large amount of data. It then trains on it, figuring out the likelihood on which words (well, tokens) will follow. The only real difference is that it can look at it across long chains of words and infer if words can follow when something changes in the chain.
Don't get me wrong; it is very interesting and I do understand that we should research it. But it's not intelligent. It can't think. It's just going over the data again and again to recognize patterns.
Despite what tech bros think, we do know how it works. We just don't know specifically how it arrived there - it's like finding a difficult bug by just looking at the code. If you use the same seed, and don't change anything you say, you'll always get the same result.
