Maybe she'll just date a nice AI....

That sounds more and more likely with China putting out its cheap new open source AI that is very resource conserving! Maybe we will all have our personal AI assistants or whatever all the time.

I think AI is going to get weird.

I think you are right. I think it will get more than just a little weird but the whole barrel full of weird, especially if AI gets into humanoid robots.

Yea, LLMs are already starting to get crazy and they aren't even real AI.

LLMs are just statistical aligners of words. Anybody thinking there is intelligence there is loopy, IMHO. They can put sentences and ideas together, but is there any originality to any of it? Maybe only what is put into the training by the human trainers and, so far, it is nicely biased.

The human brain is a neural network. Digital AI is a similar neural network.

Wet-wear vs hard-ware.

Why wouldn't they be "real" intelligence sense they're literally modeled after our own brains?

Humans themselves are just LLM's which take 10-20 years to train up to the point of "intelligence". By training, I mean just living and learning and going to school. New humans don't even start forming full sentences until they're over a year old at least.

You are not taking into consideration other aspects of being human. It is not all circuits and models that make sentience or, if you like, intelligence. There is much more to us than just “wet-ware”. I don’t think that machines will ever have those parts that exist apart from the “wet-ware”. When you make the argument that A=B and B=C, therefore A=C, you have to make sure that, indeed, A=B and B=C.

I believe it is 100% circuits and models that make sentience and intelligence.

There is more to being human, I agree. But there is not more to sentience and/or intelligence.

Would love to see some evidence to the contrary, though, if you've got any.

There's definitely not intelligence there, but it's getting to the point where you can believe that AI will have an understanding of language years from now.

It won’t understand anything, it is just a collection of lines of code. No intelligence, only what the programmer tells it to do, even if the programmer is itself.

I mean, there's going to be AI girls too if that's what you're worried about....
