this is not language mate, it's pr. if you don't understand the difference between rich being used to mean plentiful and intelligence being used to mean glorified autocorrect that doesn't even know what it's saying that's a problem with your understanding of language.

also my problem isn't about doing math. doing math is a skill, it's not intelligence. if you don't teach someone about math they're most likely not going to invent the whole concept from scratch no matter how intelligent they may be. my problem is that it can't analyze and solve problems. this is not a skill, it's basic intelligence you find in most animals.

also it doesn't even deal with meaning, and doesn't even know what it says means, and doesn't even know whether it knows something or not, and it's called a "language model". the whole thing is a joke.

Again you're confused, it's the same difficulty people have with the word 'fruit' because in botany we use it very specifically but colloquially it means a sweet tasting enable bit of a plant regardless of what role it plays in reproduction. Colloquially you'd be correct to say that corn grain is not fruit but scientifically you'd be very wrong. Ever eaten an Almond and said 'what a tasty fruit?' probably not unless your a droll biology teacher making a point to your class.

Likewise in biology no one expects a slug or worms or similar to analyze and solve problems but if you look up scientific papers about slug intelligence you'll find plenty, though a lot will also be about simulating their intelligence using various coding methods because that's a popular phd thesis recently - computer science and biology merge in such interesting ways.

The term AI is a scientific term used in computer science and derives its terminology from definitions used in the science of biology.

What you're thinking of is when your mate down the pub says 'yeah he's really intelligent, went to Yale and stuff'

They are different languages, the words mean different things and yes that's confusing when terms normally only used in textbooks and academic papers get used by your mates in the pub but you can probably understand that almonds are fruit, peanuts are legumes but both will likely be found in a bag of mixed nuts - and there probably won't be a strawberry in with them unless it was mixed by the pedantic biology teacher we met before...

Language is complex, AI is a scientific term not your friend at the bar telling you about his kid that's getting good grades.

are you AI? you don't seem to follow the conversation at all

[–] orenishii@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Definitely sounds like ai yeah

You're objectively wrong and I've clearly demonstrated that so you're calling me ai? Ok buddy, continue looking stupid then I guess

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

going by what you think constitutes "intelligence", I'll consider that a compliment.

Yeah you have intelligence in the scientific definition but I certainly wouldn't use the word colloquially to describe you...
