Recently I learned that plenty of people around me are also anti AI. I cried, felt like I was alone the whole time.
Congrats, how did you do it OP?
It’s so weird. It’s a thing that talks but doesn’t have thoughts. That’s a fucking cryptid, right there. Nevermind that the people who own them are mentally unstable enemies of society.
I’m currently taking a beginners python course and one of the chapter project examples breaks down basic sentence structure based on parts like nouns, prepositions, etc. The idea is to make several dictionaries based on these sentence parts with different words associated with them and then randomly pick words from them in the right order to make a cohesive (although not always intelligible) sentence. I figure most LLMs use a much bigger version of that with even more defined dictionaries to better encapsulate certain responses based on the topic.
There’s nothing in that kind of program structure that would even come close to implying it’s alive. LLMs are just a fancy version of Mad Libs.
I recommend trying to make your own Markov chain based chatbot. You can produce grammaticality correct nonsense just by using raw probability and without even attempting to categorize words as nouns or verbs. All you need is a dataset to build your probabilistic model… Sounds familiar?
I’m not a CS major and I don’t know exactly how LLMs work but I think you will find Markov chains interesting and highly relevant.
The sad part is how easily people are blinded. The emperors new clothes is really the best story there is.
Even worse if it’s malicious of course, weaponizing this.
It’s alive! It fighting for survival! It’s doing things on its own! Sigh
We have had better games doing this.
Until they send you funny christmas slop comics
This is meeeee
I’ve successfully convinced my boomer MAGA parents that Gen AI is evil af. Which is honestly such a surprise and a relief, as I watch other friends with boomer parents who are addicted to talking to chatbots.
