Machine Learning Systems are doing some amazing things, in some specialised or specific contexts. They're also doing some dreadful things. Of course, those things were amazing or dreadful before researchers started applying MLS to them.Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Sun Dec 07, 2025 5:32 amI trust the experts that these ChatGPT things aren’t all that intelligent. I just imagine there are probably a lot of smaller problems ai will solve, and at least some of them will be significantly profitable and transformative.
On the issue of real intelligence I still haven’t read anything more interesting on the subject (admittedly I don’t spend a lot of time on it) than Dennett’s essay on the frame problem: https://folk.idi.ntnu.no/gamback/teachi ... nett84.pdf Someone, or many someones have claimed to have solved it…

Re: Artificial Intelligence
anyway, AI is a fricking bubble... there's a Nobel prize out there wailing that the tech we use (I'm not sure whether he means the chips or the Large Language Model based programming) is totally the wrong one.
To boot, the CEO of IBM has demonstrated that the economic model just doesn't work, the investments have been so massive there's just no way to make the thing profitable, ever.
there's also been many people dissing the LLM type of 'intelligence', because it will never be really intelligent, even if it can fool laypeople.
