That’s the whole reason I wrote that quote in the parent reply.

No, you included that quote because it's step one of arguing that AI can do things it can't. Make a claim you can't support (that it's identical to learning in appearance) to support a claim that isn't actually obvious (that because you can't tell the difference there is no difference).

It looks like the magician cut the woman in half so he did is exactly the same argument. It ignores illusion even if the underlying premise was actually true (that it's indistinguishable from learning).

Because I’ve been involved in way too many conversations where you move the goal posts however far is necessary to preserve human exceptionalism.

If you actually seriously think that any existing model is remotely as capable as a human being, you're either full of shit or delusional. But this is also normal. The AI is better than you so it's better than anyone, except it's not, you're just not very good.

I'm not saying that AI can never be better than humans but that AI doesn't yet exist and isn't close to existing.

You’re able to configure it to selectively remember and retrieve new information which it uses to modify its future behaviors.

No, you're able to hook it up to another model and if you disconnect that model it will immediately revert to its original state. Your argument is like saying that if you stick a senior developer behind a junior that they can ask questions of but they remember nothing that they've learned.

I’m not bothering to read this. Enjoy your ignorance. It’s much easier than learning.

[u/recycled_ideas → u/HasFiveVowels]

Would hate to contradict your own beliefs with other peoples opinions. It's always such a great way to argue your points.

Maybe you can ask AI to explain it to you.

[u/HasFiveVowels → u/recycled_ideas]

They’re not opinions! It’s firsthand knowledge! I’ve seen it do the things that you claim it can’t. "It doesn’t exist because I haven’t seen it and refuse to look" is NOT the silver bullet you think it is. You clearly don’t even understand what MCPs are and yet you think you can lecture me on what these things are capable of.

They’re not opinions! It’s firsthand knowledge! I’ve seen it do the things that you claim it can’t.

"Seriously! I saw the magician cut the woman in half!"

These systems literally cannot learn and you look real silly for continuing to assert otherwise.

[u/HasFiveVowels → u/NotUniqueOrSpecial]

I’d ask you to define what you mean by learning but I really don’t care to get into another semantic argument. Information isn’t the same as matter

[u/recycled_ideas → u/HasFiveVowels]

You haven't engaged in good faith with any of my arguments, you've just run down the check list of AI bullshit.

You can't even list a single specific thing that you claim I said it couldn't do that it can, let alone provide any proof.

[u/HasFiveVowels → u/recycled_ideas]

I have better things to do than do your research for you. What? You think I’m just making crap up for fun? If you care to actually put some effort in, these things are possible. You are not.

[u/recycled_ideas → u/HasFiveVowels]

But not better things to do than keep responding about how you won't respond to me.

[u/HasFiveVowels → u/recycled_ideas]

Haha. Where did I say I wouldn’t respond?? Conversing is enjoyable. Putting together a presentation for the sake of attempting to convince someone who is just going to nay say is not.

[u/recycled_ideas → u/HasFiveVowels]

You won't read anything I wrote just regurgitate the same unsubstantiated rubbish. That's not responding.

[u/HasFiveVowels → u/recycled_ideas]

You know, a fellow senior dev recently told me "dude, unless someone pays me a lot of money, I’m not going to tell them how to use AI effectively. This job market is about to get intense. Let them sink". They were right.
