For fucks sake, quit making up shit I didnt say because you failed to find a gotcha against the things I say.
Do you think the existence of calculators makes machine thought impossible? No? Then why would you make up that I think so?
Chatgpt and its program families arent trying to be real AI. A salesman just wants you to think they are so you spend money on it.
They are language calculators. They were built with the intent of being language calculators. Their creators all understand they are just language calculators.
The handful of programmers who fell for the marketing, like that poor google idiot, all get fired. Why? Because their bosses now know that they dont understand the project.
An equation cannot think. That doesnt mean a machine cant, ever. It means that a machine who thinks will not be an equation calculator.
We can look at chatgpts code. We can see that it is only an equation. So long as it is only an equation, it isnt capable of thinking. Attempts at real AI may use some equations within the machine brain. But it cannot be a brain while the entire thing is only an equation.
