    Parlor trick is a perfect description.

    People don’t get that these things aren’t anymore intelligent than their smartphones predicting the next word. The main difference is instead of a couple words it has thousands to choose from.

    Half of the trick is how it uses the prompt to decided what words to start with.

      That is not how it works. Your smartphone has all the dictionary available, same as LLM. It is simply something very different. People super confidently discussing about AI on lemmy are the real hallucinating parrots

        There is an inverse relationship between the intelligence of a person and their amazement at what these large language models can produce.

          People who aren’t amazed at what LLMs produces have no clue how complicated it is to generate plausible language in the first place. Dunning–Kruger and all that.

            The ability to generate plausible language was a lack of compute power. The actual programs running the LLM is not complicate.

            The model that is produced is complex.

            Its training required compute power that was not previously available but the math/code behind these systems is not complex. They are resource intensive. There is a difference that a layperson often cannot comprehend.

          I heard the same for people who downvote on lemmy when notified about being an exemplification of the dunning Kruger effect

      Have you ever even bothered to play around with any of the LLMs or are you just parroting what you heard in badly written articles?

      The fact that the LLM predicts the next word does in no way shape or form limits its intelligence. That’s after all the same thing you do while writing your post.

      These idiotic claims about AI not being intelligent really make me questions if humans are.
