One of the stupidest things I've heard.

I also would like to attach the bluesky repost I found this from:

@leyawn.bsky.social‬ says: “is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me” https://bsky.app/profile/leyawn.bsky.social/post/3lnldekgtik27

I wish ads felt pain when I skipped them

What kind of fluff "journalism" is this?

[-] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

thanks. my first thought was, "are you fucking kidding me?"

but this is what all the money wants us to think about "AI", which is definitely not intelligence. they want everyone to accept that pattern recognition is indistinguishable from intelligence.

edit - alcohol makes me talk in cicles

It sucks but they do have an audience. I have older family members who swear ChatGPT has a “personality” because it will reply when they thank it.

The pride of cancelling my 20 year subscription continues to swell.

Can our AI fall in love with a human? Scientists laughed at me when I asked them but I found this weird billionaire to pay me to have sex with his robot.

Does my phone feel pain when I drop it?

I don't see any reason why this can't be discussed. I think people here are just extremely anti AI. It is almost like forcing AI on people was a bad idea.

i don't even understand why it's worth discussing in the first place. "can autocomplete feel?" "should compilers form unions?" "should i let numpy rest on weekends?"

wake me up when what the marketers call "ai" becomes more than just matrix multiplication in a loop.

Gemini in it's current form? No, but it is a fair question to ask for the future

Yeah, twenty years from now at the very least.

Yeah, but it's like fusion. It's always 20 years away for the last 60 years.

Realistically, as a dev who watched AI develop from cheap parlor tricks to very expensive and ecosystem crunching fancy parlor tricks that mangers think will replace all of their expensive staff who actually know how to design and create:

Modern "AI" is fundamentally incapable of actual thought. They are very advanced and impressive statistical engines, but the technology is incapable of thinking at a fundamental level.
