Until I can have a human-level conversation, where this thing doesn't simply hallucinate answers or start talking about completely irrelevant stuff, or talk as if it's still 2023, I do not see it as a thinking, reasoning being. These things work like autocorrect and fool people into thinking they're more than that.
If this DeepSeek thing is anything more than just hype, I'd love to see it. But I am (and will remain) HIGHLY SKEPTICAL until it is proven without a drop of doubt. Because this whole "AI" thing has been nothing but hype from day one.
You can go and do that right now. Not every conversation will rise to that standard, but that's also not the case for humans, so it can't be a necessary requirement. I don't know if we're at a point where current models reach it more frequently than the average human - would reaching this point change your mind?
No, these things don't work like autocorrect. Yes, they are recurrent, but that's not the same thing - and mathematical analysis of the model shows that it's not a simple Markov process. So no, it doesn't work like autocorrect in a meaningful way.
Great, the papers and results are open and available right now!
I don't have the knowledge or the understanding for the research paper to mean anything to me and I'll admit that. I'll see where this new model is in a few months time after it's actually been used and properly tested by people. Then we'll see if it's meaningfully changed anything or just become another forgotten one after the hype dies.
That's a fair approach.
Thank you for the calm and respectful discussion!
