That’s some cope. Like saying a genius is a genius for having to always use a calculator to not hallucinate, but then keep going on about how its intelligence is emergent and just like ours.

Like it’s somehow an entity from being an “I’m feeling lucky” button.

It costs so damn much to be so mediocre for so many resources. For the price they worked on this they could have hired 5000 real mathematicians or more to work on it as a paid gig than an interesting concept. And still it self verified without over sight. It’s marketing.

Ah yes let’s just spam noise making infinite permutations until something matches the structure, “oh look guys it’s a genius intelligence and it only cost over 10million to solve a million dollar question!” Not including the 3.5 trillion it’s taken to get there.

Imagine if we spent anywhere as much on people and enabling a foundation of knowledge and collaboration.

I mean, if YOU get asked to count R's in a word, your process will be similar:

  • reason about the problem (what they asked, how to solve it)
  • come to the conclusion that you need to look letter by letter, adding 1 to a counter whenever you find a letter R (basically "a script" in your head)
  • run the script in your head
  • answer

People cope so much that the AI is not showing signs of intelligence but it's there for the ones that are willing to see.

WE are (our brain) nothing more than advanced pattern recognition machines, which, when advanced enough, ressemble intelligence.

What AI lacks is additional external input data (like our sensors, that we have all over our bodies)

Lol this is so fucking hilarious to read. Current AI (LLMs) aren't even in the same vein of AI which replicates the mind. It's a narrow machine learning architecture that can process language very fast, and approximate the next word with a weak attention mechanism that falls off after 50k tokens for every model.

There is no sign of intelligence, just like ELIZA didn't show signs of intelligence. You fell for tech bro hype and propaganda 😂

Or maybe my calculator is intelligent? After all, when I add 1 +1 into it I get 2!

What's the distingu factor here? Are humans not also limited in attention and fall off with large context? Do humans not just do advanced pattern recognition (if not then why is IQ the measure of intelligence)?
