    Everything is fine. It will become god and fix all our problems any second now, and if you say that’s mathematically impossible you’re just a hater.

      I mean, nitpick, but if you blamed mathematics you actually would be. The observation that AI/LLMs are highly unreliable and don’t appear to be getting any better is empirical.

            No but Turing was involved, and the guy who wrote ELIZA

            The tech isn’t new. That’s all the effort I’m willing to put in for this trash.

              And that paper’s name? Albert Einstein. I can’t find anything on Weizenbaum and Turing authoring together. Weizenbaum seems to have written mostly prose and code, even - he’s not really thought of for his mathematical innovations, although obviously math was his original field.

              Back in the 50’s people thought conventional algorithms, like everybody here has worked with, were going to reach human intelligence. They could play chess, and chess is smart guy stuff, so obviously recognising a bird should be easy, right? Well, they figured out that wasn’t right, and so began the first AI winter.

              The tech of deep neural nets is in fact fairly new. Like, arguably it didn’t become a thing until the Cold War was ending, although there were a lot of precursors, and it kind of arrived gradually.
