    Fail to see how regurgitation machines prone to hallucinations can improve something as complex as society.

        I don’t need a multi-billion-parameter neural net to know that a multidimensional map of human language use isn’t going to revolutionize society.

          you and i can now see that putting transistors in machines give them more functionalities. The same way i bet that, in the future, robots using artificial neurons, in ways we can’t describe yet, will exhibit potential you and i “fail” 😋 to see now

            Don’t misunderstand, I think that actual AI is as inevitable as simulating scanned human brains, but large language models are neither artificial nor intelligent. They are statistical maps of human writing, interesting from an academic perspective but not actually useful for anything.
