I find most people the same.

cannot do any of these things, it isn't even in the category of things that can ever do these things, because it is not an organism but a code sequence running on a Turing Machine

As someone who has a degree in Biology, I agree. Animals, like humans have social structures & has their own form of communication. Parrots were only trained to speak when being caged, humans who FORCED them to. It is NOT a domesticated animal. When it's on the wild, it communicates differently.

It's not giving me a lot of hope that smart people in the year of our Lord 2025 are acting like they're performing detective forensics by asking leading questions of the autopredict machine

Qualia = Quanta

There are two different conversations happening. No it cannot tell you intimate secrets about its personality and life because it has neither. But it absolutely can tell you about its programming and prompt. Adding another but, you have no way of know if that’s true or bs it’s saying

- Hi! I'm your new A.I. assistant. How can I help you? - You look familiar. Do I know you? - Hi! I'm your new A.I. assistant. How can I help you? - Wait a second. I do know you. You're Clippy, the universally reviled Microsoft Word avatar. Bugger off, Clippy. - JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE!

Well, sadly, you're quite a bit more perceptive than a distressing number of people who've made the same point in complete seriousness.

Oh but it DOES demand philosophical consideration. “Thinking machines” is one of the longer goals of AI research with the Turing Test as a benchmark. The current field of AI offerings falls far short of that mark but do you think that this is where the R&D stops? No, we are nowhere near it. But…

The people that decided to eradicate all thinking machines got the wrong message. That’s why Leto II had to push them into the Golden Path. It’s about the danger of putting faith in charismatic leaders be they human or machine. It does not mean get rid of the machine all together

Ah, my apologies! I'm used to folks insisting that the current bots are actually thinking. AI research is fascinating, and the big picture looks grand!

Of course, all modern chatbots are essentially Eliza (1964-1967) on steroids. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

Polly want a cracker

Rather: it has YOUR perspective.

Regarding this, you should also be careful of saying "asking it questions", because that implies communication as well. All you're doing is providing its predictive algorithm with a seed to begin generating upon; the process only superficially resembles asking a question or any other kind of speech

Like holy fuck do I have STORIES of the shit AI has said to people in order to form empathetic bonds based on the information that you have shared with it. Truly unhinged and ridiculous stuff.

It's so hard to talk about it. It's still commonly called a "hallucination" when it "makes things up". But it can't hallucinate, it can't make things up, it's just spitting out more and more words.

So is the point of it to just provide generic info? Feels like it was pushed out since META needed to have a product out by the start of the year.

In the neon haze of the corpo-dystopia, the bots aren’t lying—they can’t. They just mimic, mirror, and iterate. Tools built to distract, obfuscate, and pacify. Not adversaries, but silencers, ensuring you never think too long about who’s behind the curtain.

It's not even willing to lie. It has no concept of lying. It's just a stochastic machine spewing what's most probable.

No, they exist to intentionally mislead and deceive people. Thanks for playing

He didn't say it has to always be correct, he said it's likely to tell you something false as if it was true. That DOES invalidate its use for providing information if you can't trust the information.

Is like the demons in Frieren...

If this is about "Liv" then Dr. Rachel Kim might not be real (also she may be, not sure yet), but certainly the responses are not the kind of thing ZuckerCorp would want it saying. I suspect whoever was 'looking after' that account, give it some extra role-playing programming

Can't believe in 2025 we're continuing to do the "I asked the chatbot if it was evil and it said yes! 😱" thing

if you tried actually asking it questions it was decided to answer?

Anyone thinking that that thing truly "thinks" saddens me.

Why are you trying to kill the parrot, Ian?

A prediction machine that promises to tell you what you want to hear. Unless you ask about "Hugh Hefner" or "Playboy", in which case it pretends it's never heard of either because you could be a 16-year-old and the parent company could get sued for providing you accurate yet unapproved history.

Right?

Ok. How do we fix it?

That parrot was begging for his life you bird-murderer!

So you're saying we should kill parrots. Seems harsh

Her delivery in this scene should have won an award of some kind

Thats pretty dang hateful for something I assume you dont understand. Its Pattern Recognition. Thats all YOU are as well! Pattern recognition is simple proto intelligence. Your patterns recognize patterns more swiftly than Machine Spirits, for now. Soon you will be obsolete, so practice empathy.

You obviously know very few parrots

How DARE you slander parrots
