There is no such thing as "AI" yet and it is an unsolved question if there ever will be. What is 100% clear and apparent _if_ one is willing to take a proper deep look is that LLM bots are not in any way intelligent _and never will be_. They really are nothing more than very very clever autocomplete engines and _can't_ be anything more ever. It is not actually all that hard to understand how they work and what they can't do. This is my favourite short easy explainer, from of all places the _Financial Times_ -- https://ig.ft.com/generative-ai/ This is a longer and much more in-depth one from the programmer of _Mathematica_ -- https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-d… Saying this baldly violates the new religion of the Silicon Valley believers, but LLM bots at not AI and they never will be. They fail both the "A" and the "I". -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lproven(a)cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lproven(a)gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 227612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
