I'm Sarah. I'm a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can't do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

Stop calling language models “artificial intelligence” 2023. Intelligence requires reasoning. These things don’t reason. Language is neither sufficient, nor required for intelligence.

Just stop it.

I was reading about a computer that had been "trained" to filter out background noise in a sound recording process. My first thought was "no it hasn't, it's been programmed to filter out background noise"

I find it so reassuring to see this expressed so well! Of course, it also means there’s probably no intelligence in those who’ve fallen in love with language models, either.

Given how utterly comically badly LLMs fall on their arse if you go slightly off piste, I’m going with “not at all”.
