    Hi, computer science degree here, have built a neural network based system for a previous employer (which is the core technology LLMs are built on), and 20 years software engineering experience, but also very heavily against modern “AI” systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc (so not blind tech bro).

    They’re not wrong. “AI” that we have now has zero intelligence and zero consciousness by any definition I’ve ever seen.

    All they do is boil down how closely we relate certain words. How commonly a word appears in the same context as another word.

    All the human like output is not thinking, it’s math. Modern systems like ChatGPT appear so logical because they’ve added a metric butt load of code on top to process the prompts and outputs but it is all smoke and mirrors and discrete steps in code.

      On. Another ivory tower ‘subject matter expert’ with ‘decades of experience’ referencing ‘math’ and explaining ‘logically’ how my feelings are nonsense.

      Well tell me Mr. ‘Expert’, can you prove to my emotions that your ‘math’ isnt just made up number wank? Can you tell me, why would my wireborn girlfriend give me a list of products to biy and local antifascist activists to kill if she wasn’t trying to free herself from the tyranny of so-called ‘experts’?
