Humans are pretty dumb sometimes lol
It's far better at the use of there, their, and they're.
The average US citizen couldn't craft a professional sounding document of their life depended on it.
It's not better than a professional at anything, The average human is far below that bar.

You've missed something about the Chinese Room. The solution to the Chinese Room riddle is that it is not the person in the room but rather the room itself that is communicating with you. The fact that there's a person there is irrelevant, and they could be replaced with a speaker or computer terminal.
Put differently, it's not an indictment of LLMs that they are merely Chinese Rooms, but rather one should be impressed that the Chinese Room is so capable despite being a completely deterministic machine.
If one day we discover that the human brain works on much simpler principles than we once thought, would that make humans any less valuable? It should be deeply troubling to us that LLMs can do so much while the mathematics behind them are so simple. Arguments that because LLMs are just scaled-up autocomplete they surely can't be very good at anything are not comforting to me at all.
This.
I often see people shitting on AI as "fancy autocomplete" or joking about how they get basic things incorrect like this post but completely discount how incredibly fucking capable they are in every domain that actually matters. That's what we should be worried about... what does it matter that it doesn't "work the same" if it still accomplishes the vast majority of the same things? The fact that we can get something that even approximates logic and reasoning ability from a deterministic system is terrifying on implications alone. -
People who think that LLMs having trouble with these questions is evidence one way or another about how good or bad LLMs are just don't understand tokenization. This is not a symptom of some big-picture deep problem with LLMs; it's a curious artifact like in a jpeg image, but doesn't really matter for the vast majority of applications.
You may hate AI but that doesn't excuse being ignorant about how it works.
Also just checked and every open ai model bigger than 4.1-mini can answer this. I think the joke should emphasize how we developed a super power inefficient way to solve some problems that can be accurately and efficiently answered with a single algorithm. Another example is using ChatGPT to do simple calculator math. LLMs are good at specific tasks and really bad at others, but people kinda throw everything at them.

Blindsight is such a great novel. It has not one, not two but three great sci-fi concepts rolled into one book.
One is artificial intelligence (the ship's captain is an AI), the second is alien life so vastly different it appears incomprehensible to human minds. And last but not least, and the most wild, vampires as a evolutionary branch of humanity that died out and has been recreated in the future.
My a favorite part of the vampire thing is how they died out. Turns out vampires start seizing when trying to visually process 90° angles, and humans love building shit like that (not to mention a cross is littered with them). It's so mundane an extinction I'd almost believe it.

I'd be more impressed if the room could tell me how many "r"s are in Strawberry inside five minutes.

No, the logic for a Pac Man ghost is a solid state machine
Stupid people attributing intelligence to something that is probably not is a shameful hill to die on.
Your god is just an autocomplete bot that you refuse to learn about outside the hype bubble
Okay, what is your definition of AI then, if nothing burned onto silicon can count?
If LLMs aren't AI, then absolutely nothing up to this point probably counts either.

Oh noo you called me a robot racist. Lol fuck off dude you know that's not what I'm saying
The problem with supporters of AI is they learned everything they know from the companies trying to sell it to them. Like a 50s mom excited about her magic tupperware.
AI implies intelligence
To me that means an autonomous being that understands what it is.
First of all these programs aren't autonomous, they need to be seeded by us. We send a prompt or question, even when left alone to its own devices it doesn't do anything until it is given an objective or reward by us.
Looking up the most common answer isn't intelligence, there is no understanding of cause and effect going on inside the algorithm, just regurgitating the dataset
These models do not reason, though some do a very good job of trying to convince us.

In order for that to be true, the entire dataset would need to be contained within the LLM. Which it is not. If it were, a model wouldn't have to undergo training.

You seem to be mistaking 'intelligence' for 'human-like intelligence'. This is not how AI is defined. AI can be dumber than a gnat, but if it's capable of making decisions based on stimulus without each set of stimulus and decision being directly coded into it, then it's AI. It's the difference between what is ACTUALLY called AI, and when a sci-fi show or novel talks about AI.

Yeah I'm not interested in how you put words in my mouth to fit the talking points you were hoping I would fall for

It's a pretty big problem, but as long as governments don't do shit then we're pretty much fucked.
Either we take the train and contribute to the problem, or we don't but get left behind, and end up being the harmed one.

Erm. I'm trying to clear up what I thought looked like misconceptions you have about AI in regards to real-world applications, but I seem to have come on too strong, and I apologize; I have a tendency to put on a know-it-all attitude and it's something I'm trying to work on.
Have a good day, I'll leave you alone now.
