Isn't chatGPT just a beefed up predictive text engine?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes. Honestly it's crazy how much people read into ChatGPT, when in practice it's effectively just a dice roller that depends in incredibly big dataset to guess what's the most likely word to come next.

There's been some research about this, the fact that people are assigning intelligence into things that ML does. Because it doesn't compute for us that something can appear to make sense without actually having any intelligence. To humans, the appearance of the intelligence is enough to assume intelligence - even if it's just a result of a complicated dice roller.
