I find it really useful to shut down discussions where no one is budging and are just overall a big waste of time. As an example, if I've been trying to convince someone that the earth is round for 10 minutes and they clearly don't have any interest in changing their view, I'll just spare me the trouble and say it. If they still refuse to let it go, I start blindly agreeing with them, that usually does the trick.

I'd put it as "you won't actually perceive the damage"

It is true that newer models that have ingested more training data are better at this kind of thing, but it is not because they are using logic, but because they are copying and following examples they already learnt, if that makes sense. I got the question from a test passed to kids ages 12-13, so arguably it wasn't really that challenging. If you want to you can try out the more advanced problems from the same place I got it from, although it's in Spanish, so pass it through Google Translate first.

If you turn to programmers they'll tell you that AI usually makes mistakes no human would normally make such as inventing variables that don't exist and that kind of thing. It is because in the examples it learnt from they have mostly existed.

What I mean to say is, if you give an AI a problem that is not in its training data and can only be solved using logic (so, you can't apply what is used in other problems) it will be incapable of solving it. The Internet is so vast that almost everything has been written about so AIs will seem to know how to solve any problem, but it is no more than an illusion.

HOWEVER, if we manage to integrate AIs and normal, mathematical computation really closely so that they function as one, that problem might be solved. It will probably also have its caveats, though.

There have been some theories on this phenomenon, with the most prevalent being the tendency for Wikipedia pages to move up a "classification chain". According to this theory, the Wikipedia Manual of Style guidelines on how to write the lead section of an article recommend that articles begin by defining the topic of the article. A consequence of this style is that the first sentence of an article is almost always a definitional statement, a direct answer to the question "what is [the subject]?"

Couldn't have said it better myself

Jesus Christ hated rich people; his whole mantra was about sharing and helping the poor. In fact, the church used to help the sick and the poor at first.

Honestly it's time christians actually started following the teachings of christ again.

In the Spanish empire IIRC they were all given citicenship, so yes it could have been handled better, even in that era. In fact, the latino ethnicity is the result of the mix between the natives and the colonizers, which happened because they were integrated.

Have you checked if they have that stuff on archive.org? I'm sure plenty of people would appreciate them.
