When you ask the AI a question, it has no understanding of the question. It has a set of words, and it runs those words in that pattern through a series of neural weights - which point it to what it needs to generate a similar looking answer. At no point did it Google anything, nor did it look up a database, all it did was go through training data to generate a similar looking sentence. It is the literal equivalent of having a monkey bash a keyboard until you get a novel

Can the monkey write a novel, given an infinite amount of time and stamina! Yeah it can, it'll write the best novel ever. It will also have literally no understanding of the novel or what it did because we just rolled the dice enough times to get the 0.00001% chance of a full on novel.
the only difference with AI is that the probability of a correct looking response is higher then the probability of the monkey typing the novel

Also when I say incapable - I mean they're getting tricked. Like this is clearly tapping into the part of people that tries to anthropomorphize things into our own image. We see something that makes things that look like sentences so we as humans are naturally inclined to try to think of it as another human.

@karolherbst yeah we really aren't ready for AI as a society. I'm more scared of the brain drain this is going to cause from all of the people who now think that they can genuinely have a career completely handled by ChatGPT, or the educators who apparently don't understand the issue isn't plagiarism - the issue is using AI in scientific endeavors at all

Lyude OP , vor 2 Monaten

really what are they even training a model for like I know we ask this question every time but I'm really scratching my head trying to figure out what on earth slack's imaginary AI offering is going to be
an AI companion for lonely executives???
what service does it provide

someone said "productivity insights" which is a nothing statement but at the same time is definitely 100% what they're probably going to be offering
