Me? How can I move goalposts in a single sentence? We’ve had no previous conversation… And I’m not agreeing with the previous poster either…

I was going to add a note about the exception of video games but decided I’m digressing
LLMs reproduce the form of language without any meaning being transmitted. That’s called parroting.
Even if (and that’s a big if) an AGI is going to be achieved at some point, there will be people calling it parroting by that definition. That’s the Chinese room argument.
AI hasn’t been redefined. For people familiar with the field it has always been a broad term meaning code that learns (and subdivided in many types of AI), and for people unfamiliar with the field it has always been a term synonymous with AGI. So when people in the former category put out a product and label it as AI, people in the latter category then run with it using their own definition.
For a long time ML had been the popular buzzword in tech and people outside the field didn’t care about it. But then Google and OpenAI started calling ML and LLMs simply “AI” and that became the popular buzzword. And when everyone is talking about AI, and most people conflate that with AGI, the results are funny and scary at the same time.
You use toilet paper to dry off? Why not a towel?
Isn’t his skull adamantium? Can it be sliced in half?
Why remake movies that are already good?
The US was doing it in the Philippines. Russia was doing it in the US. It’s the circle of life.
Isn’t that Batman?
I was confused why a package manager would need to import posts from a social network.
Why name a new product the same as a very popular existing product?
And the cover was mostly to keep the phone form getting dirty when not in use, not to protect it when dropped.
I was hitchhiking in Turkey with my now wife many years ago and we got picked up by a bunch of truckers. They passed our destination and kept going, pretending they don’t understand what we’re saying when we kept calling “stop.” Only when I pulled out my phone did they stop. Luckily they didn’t notice my phone was dead.
Our version only had 5 layers:
The jar stayed out for a week before we finally cleaned it up and in that time only the dish soap and water mixed (which happened within the first hour)
It’s not. If you’re really into pop culture and you frequently make such references then someone who is not will have a hard time communicating with you.
It’s not about internet culture being bad, it’s about the communication gap between people with very different cultural references.
kill way less people
I believe the danger axis is about danger to the passengers, not others
I just did that last week for my son (he found it in a science book). The dish soap and water slowly mixed together into a single layer.
I always thought it was for lighters
Not likely a real person, or an edit that was reverted.
And the argument was if there’s meaning behind what they generate. That argument applies to AGIs too. It’s a deeply debated philosophical question. What is meaning? Is our own thought pattern deterministic, and if it is, how do we know there’s any meaning behind our own actions?
