Artificial Intelligence (AI) "is an imitation of human thinking, not a substitute for it"


"AI can offer a lot of value. But it is an imitation of human thinking, not a substitute for it. AI depends on human-generated material, and even if it not legally required to do, it will have to find a way to direct a portion of its revenues to renew the basic resource it depends on: human writers, artists, and other creators."

    LLMs aren't even, strictly speaking, an imitation of human thinking.

    As much as it *is* a useful tool, an LLM is as Jamie Zawinski called it, "spicy autocomplete".

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
