      It’s a simulation of intelligence. It has no understanding of what it is saying and cannot reason. It’s just a fancy set of predetermined answers to your prompts.

        Not quite how it works. It is a human simulator, yes, and it’s thinking process is actually not that far off from how our brains work - as it’s all centered around neuron layers.

        However, AI is not thinking per se - it’s predicting how a human’s response would look like. Those are two extremely important keywords in the whole process.

        There’s no predefined set of questions to answers, you may be confusing it with system prompt, so a set of human-readable instructions that are merged with user prompt behind the hood, and that’s what makes Grok a nazi.

          This is so far off the truth it’s not even wrong. You’ve done the intellectual equivalent of dumping a bunch of random mechanical parts on the floor and saying “this is just like a car”.

          Those “neurons” in artificial “intelligence” bear little to zero resemblance to real neurons in real brains. The naming is purest marketing; the people who invented them way back in … I want to say the '70s? … knew damned well they had no relationship to an actual neuron, but you got more grant money if you made it sound like you were simulating a brain.

          It’s “thinking” is, as a result absolutely nothing like how our brains work.

            It’s nice of you to stomp on me for how wrong I am, but unfortunately I’m just gonna keep on spreading misinformation provided to me by the previous source of information I encountered, because you didn’t even bother to actually correct my thinking.

                No, it’s not that. I may be wrong, and that’s absolutely on me. But nobody’s helping anybody by just punishing it and not actually providing correct informatiom so we can all learn from it.

                  This is blaming someone else for the fact that you’re wrong. They have no obligation to correct your thinking.

                    Building a better society by jumping at eachother’s throats, is that how it’s done?

                    Sorry man, but if someone is misinformed and all you do about that is kick him in the balls instead of actually teaching him, then you’re a dickhead in my book.

                    You’re not encouraging anybody to get to know the topic better. You’re just a bully.

        Only if you buy into a very restrictive definition of AI that isn’t reflective of how the research field evolved. Most of the evolution happened long before capitalism turned it into the worst bubble yet.

        LLM is a type of AI.

        Solving Wumpus World is also a type of AI.

        An algorithm to find the shortest path between two point is a type of AI.

        The bots you play against in a computer game is a type of AI.

        Yourr robotic vacuum cleaner is a type of AI.

        Neither of these are AGI, though. AGI is still Sci-fi.
