Perhaps you missed the headlines when the ICC called out Facebook for actively, deliberately obstructing the ICC genocide investigation into the Rohingya genocide.

I would prefer to send all of them to dig graves for the victims of various genocides and conflicts.

Cut the balls, don’t just dust them.

I have already suggested it. Trolley problems etc. Ask it to tell you its reasoning. It always becomes preposterous sooner or later.

My point here is that remembering the correct answer or performing a mathematical calculation are not a measure of understanding.

What we are looking for that sets apart INTELLIGENCE is an ability to genuinely understand. LLMs don’t have that, any more than older autocorrects did.

LLMs are an autocorrect.

Let’s use a standard definition like “intelligence is the ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.”

It can acquire (learn) and use (access, output) data but it lacks the ability to understand it.

This is why we have AI telling people to use glue on pizza or drink bleach.

I suggest you sit down with an AI some time and put a few versions of the Trolley Problem to it. You will likely see what is missing.

I think you might know some really stupid or perhaps just uneducated people. I would expect 100% of people to know how many Rs there are in “strawberry” without looking at it.

Nevertheless, spelling is memory and memory is not intelligence.

Good to know, thanks.

Kind of regret not trudging up the steep learning curve of that hellscape GUI earlier now that sounds like it’s finally useable, but better late than never.

If it’s non destructive now I might try to learn it.

Memory isn’t intelligence.

Probably not that much different tbh.

I think you can understand something without embracing it or condoning it. I did a few bad things, it’s understandable that kids with that age and upbringing will, as long as you own what you did, put right what you can and atone for the rest, there’s no need to hate yourself.

Henry Ford was a huge nazi as well.

Take it from an old man, at a certain point you will grow beyond having to feel “embarassed” by your former self, because your ego won’t be tied to it.
