Yeah Fuck AI!!
From words and phrases like “kill chain,” “assault the objective,” “warfighter” and “moving of ammo” to questions about weapon systems, the models don’t “like any of it,” Saltsman said. “They’re so overly sensitive that they just won’t be helpful.”
Oh what the god damn hell am I in a fucking satire!?
They’re not conscious. It’s an autocorrect with the a phone thebsize of a city, that’s it. It’s complicated enough to fool stupid people, which in the United states especially is a lot of people.
There’s a credible argument that we’re just strongly overestimating what consciousness is.
I don’t think AI is conscious. But it processes information and comes up with an output that’s often dumb, obvious or not really on topic and then rarely kinda cool - just like humans do. It doesn’t have a will, but most experts agree that free will is scientifically impossible, even if many think we should just pretend that it’s real. AI doesn’t have the feeling of subjective experience, but that’s not really very important - we could still see a red light, understand what it means and execute appropriate bevahiour if we lacked the subjective experience of seeing the color red.
AI is not conscious, similarly to how a ventilator is not human lungs. It’s not, but it’s still doing mostly the same thing.
Except that it absolutely is not. It is not doing remotely the same thing that an actual brain does.
They mean the output is similar, just like in their example.
I understand what he is saying. Neither the output or the operational mechanism resemble organic thought.
I worked in a phone room of a large drug company. By early 2021 we had AI agents making phone calls to insurance companies to confirm basic insurance coverage details. They only handled the “no surprises” kind of plans - so a limited set of expected answers. They would encounter something unexpected and pass off to a human maybe 10-15% of the time.
But within their limits, they did what a human did. It was recognizably AI to most listeners, but vocal tone, probing for clarity, getting all the info - the output was like listening to the output an experienced human agent.
