AI oh my

LinkedIn seems to be on fire about how AI is going to… whatever something bullshit.

Come on. It may be cool. The tools may be able to produce convincing babbling. Even more than that.

I’ve tried it. It could implement a generic binary search algorithm in Java. That is cool.

But it is not intelligence. It creates lots of bulgur. I wrote bulgur because this autocorrect cannot write bullshit. This “AI” is the same.

It. Is. Not. Artificial. Intelligence. It is a tool to create convincing talk. Not necessarily even factual or true. That’s it. Nothing more. It is a language model with machine learning.

There is no facts. There is no argumentation. There is no truth. There is no real dialogue.

Maybe in the future there is. But not now.
