MODERATORS
It wouldn't, a simple finite state machine that any intelligent entity could emulate would be enough.
But people have completely deluded themselves into thinking that (what CEOs and marketers call) "AI" is actually intelligent, and this case study shows how preposterous that fantasy actually is.
I really hope people are starting to catch on, large language models aren't "intelligent", they're multidimensional maps of human language use and querying them is just tracing a vector "forward" through language-space from the starting point of a prompt.
It's the reification fallacy writ so large it's eclipsing entire national economies. Human intelligence isn't in language, language is a product of human intelligence. The map is not the territory.
And yeah, it is pretty cool that we have the processing power to map out language-space well enough to draw some vectors that remain coherent over thousands of tokens, but using a billion-parameter model to do what could be accomplished with probably-already-existing management software and a few seconds of CPU time per week is as wasteful as it is misguided.
