    You know it’s funny how many times I’ve heard that “it’s just predictive text algorithms!” As a dismissal that I’m beginning to think we’re just predictive text algorithms.

      Yep. All the reasons cited could pretty much apply to a person as well. GPT-4 is pretty damn smart by every reasonable measure.

      We are prediction machines, but nothing like chatgpt. Current AI has no ability to learn, adapt, or even consider the future.

        BS. The first two are all a neural net does.

          Once. They do not have the ability to learn or adapt on their own. They are created by humans through “deep learning”, but that is fundamentally different from continuously learning based on one’s own actions and experiences.

            Yeah, once they’re out of training, that’s true. It’s almost like we grow this semi-intelligence, and then run it in something like a deep coma.

            I wouldn’t quite say it’s a one-time thing, though. It’s not only possible but typical to put it back in training to finetune it.
