I'd just like to highlight that there still seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of AI on Breaking Points. I'm not an AI expert but I'm pretty deep into tech. One of those things of how you never quite realize how much the media gets wrong until they start talking about a subject you know more about than average. That author that was on recently, making some pretty apocalyptic statements about the future of AI, said something that was pretty illustrative of his misunderstanding. He gave an example of AI seemingly misbehaving, and said that we didn't know if the AI was "playacting" or not. Playacting would suggest that AI can make choices but it absolutely can not. ChatGPT and other LLMs are entirely deterministic. There's some variables including RNGs (Random Number Generators) that make the statistics under the hood feel more human. But given the same RNG values and other inputs, the LLM will produce identical output. Every. Single. Time. Hoping to get this message to ...
