Pet peeve of the day: all the people talking about how ChatGPT is not “conscious” and how it does not “understand” what it is saying, but just putting likely-sounding words together into likely-sounding sentences.
Extra bonus points for using an example of a math problem as a way to show how these AI chat-bots talk about things they don’t really understand.
@skobkin@torvalds absolutely, it also takes them forever to figure out how many fingers are in a hand or if hair can spontaneously sprout from of clothes
@skobkin@torvalds Always loved that argument. It's like you realize thats how humans generally learn right. That principle software engineer didn't exit college able to do what they do, they learned it over years by looking at code and mistakes and not all of it they got permission to look at.
