Chat GPT, and the many other similar systems, are unable to conceive of something new or original, merely imitate what has already come before.
Students who use it to write essays are shooting themselves in the foot, because, chances are, they can't think for themselves either.
I think of Chat GPT like a sometimes-inaccurate-calculator. There may be some legitimate uses for the technology, but it's still nice to know how to multiply numbers without it.
This. God do i hate that LLMs are called generative ai
They are generative in the sense of generating output, nothing more. With the "intelligence" part of the AI we got a fluke, should've called it something else until it gets to the real intelligence level (that is now dubbed AGI)
Except they can absolutely come up with new things; their responses aren't just cut and pasted bites of previous text snippets. They are generated based on a neural network's idea of what the most likely next token is, and tokens are often fragments of words. There's a reason you can have it do arbitrary things with text- Because it's doing slightly deeper things than just imitation.
So it does what grade school teachers expect of their students?
Most people can't do that and generative AI, no matter how limited is still better than the average shlub.
Or you could just learn how to use a tool to do better with instead of bitching about progress. Hur dur calculators can't do math, they need unique input. No fucking shit Sherlock, lern2technology you fucking boomer.
Or you could grow the fuck up and actually be an adult instead of justifying using corporate controlled software to do your thinking and living for you.
Learn to read and write. Learn to think for yourself. Accept that effort, humility and willingness to learn and achieve are to be expected from you and learn to try to meet those expectations instead of getting angry that anything, literally anything, is asked of you to engage with other people.
Live life.
Was this comment generated by AI?
I'm sure the prompt was something like "write a response to this comment while sounding like I enjoy eating crayons in my free time."
My experience with AI, and the absolute fucking dorks that talk endlessly about it, is that neither are capable of original thought.
It's not the technology I don't like, it's the users.
Also, why so angery?
Lol.
