A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is artificial pseudointelligence, not a person. It doesn't learn about or transform anything.

Im not the one anthropomorphising the technology here.

To take those statements seriously, you will need to:

define and describe in detail the processes by which "a person" learns
define and describe in detail how "a person" transforms anything
define and describe in detail what is "intelligence"
define and describe in detail what these "artificial paeudointelligences" are doing
define and describe in detail the differences between the latter and the previous points

Otherwise, I'll claim that "a person" is running exactly the same processes (neural networks, LLMs, hallucinations), and that calling these AIs "artificial paeudointelligences" is nothing else than dehumanizing a minority just because you feel threatened by them.
