I’d say they can see patterns that humans can not when given large data sets, but I don’t believe they are “learning” in the human sense. They have a large computational advantage over our abilities, but it is not intelligence.

ChatGPT is largely just repeating what it reads. It’s generally not doing the problem solving or analysis itself. In the example of the mock draft, it isn’t analyzing the players or the team needs itself. It’s reading what people say about a player, what people are saying about the teams, and also using other mock drafts it finds online. It’s pattern matching.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” People (who are intelligent) can use AI as a very powerful tool. The AI itself is not intelligent.

The principle of “garbage in, garbage out” is definitely a concern with AI. And the internet is full of garbage. It’s not inherently intelligent on its own so it can’t necessarily judge the quality of its sources for itself. It has no way to judge the quality of bongo’s posts about the Titans. It doesn’t know whether the medical journal’s study of vaccines is any more correct than a crackpot blog written by an antivaxer. That’s why the most useful AIs probably need to be specifically targeted and limited rather than generalistic. Maybe it’s that legal GPT. Or maybe it’s a tool studying health results based on patients’ DNA. Or a system that can read medical imaging and spot red flags that human doctors aren’t able to see.

I have a bunch of files stored on my PC that are accessible to it. Does that make my PC intelligent? Google has indexed the entire web for its search engine. Is Google search intelligent? The sheer amount of data that AI models have ingested make them incredibly useful and computationally powerful, but still not “intelligent”. Hell, a custom GPT targeted to just a limited set of materials (all US law texts, or the works of JRR Tolkien, or a set of technical manuals for example) is an incredibly useful tool for users. But it’s still just a tool, not an intelligence of its own.

Is memorizing facts and figures intelligence? The better the model the better the results, but so far it’s not intelligence in any human sense.

They can largely win those now based on sheer processing power and advantages in reaction time. But it’s a matter of computational advantage and not human-like intelligence.

I’m not saying that pattern matching isn’t important, it’s just not inherently a sign of intelligence. It can string words together sensibly based what it ingests, but it doesn’t necessary understand or learn on a complex level.

I mean, he probably tore an ACL playing pickup basketball or hurt himself working out or broke a leg in a car wreck or something relatively mundane but that’s all it takes

What did he do to himself?

https://tribuneonlineng.com/trade-war-china-completely-stops-buying-liquefied-gas-from-the-us/ China has halted all imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States for more than ten weeks According to the Financial Times, shipping data revealed that no LNG shipments have taken place between the two nations since a 69,000-tonne tanker from Corpus Christi, Texas, arrived in China’s Fujian province on 6 February. A second vessel destined for China was redirected to Bangladesh after it failed to arrive before Beijing imposed a 15 per cent tariff on US LNG on 10 February. The tariff has now been raised to 49 per cent, effectively pricing US gas out of the Chinese market.
