Merged Artificial Intelligence

From what I have heard from Francois Chollet (inventor(?) of the ARC-AGI test) many of the types of cognitive errors that get discovered in these LLMs are corrected by hard-coding it into the LLM in the same way that some of the guardrails are. If that's the case, and it only learns about 3 R's in strawberry because someone has literally written it in rather than it deducing it from large amounts of texts then it really is a very dumb "intelligence".
 
Undoubtedly true for some cases but there are the more general cases like which is the larger number 8.8 or 8.18. I suppose it depends on why they repeatedly get the same thing wrong.
 
During my life I have also had teachers hard-coding knowledge in me that I didn’t understand. Today, there is probably still something left that I don’t know I don’t understand.
 
It's almost as if they don't think but play a game of "does this random string of words sound like a human response" until the answer is yes.

In English schools they still teach kids (or did 10 years ago) a so-called spelling aid "i before e, except after c ", and then over the next 10 years hardcode into you all the exceptions to that "aid".

Hmm.. tried again today and got the right answer (3) but using the same tablet as I used yesterday. Then I tried on my phone and got: :p

But it seems like a ludicrously inefficient way for an AI to learn especially if one of the goals is to be able to get these things to be able to learn patterns from training data that it can then reliably use to answer questions that it hasn’t been trained on.

I mean... There are two Rs in strawberry.

And there are there are twenty people in Greenland. But it’s a bit of an outrageous violation of Gricean maxims to answer someone in such a weird way that if a human was doing this on the regular you would assume they were totally ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ with you.

How long have you’ve been posting here? :D
 
I just found out you can get voice-activated AI now and literally "talk to" your AI (think Siri on steroids). Management here is off the deep end about it, I mean really a bit scary. I think we're headed for what used to be sci fi territory sooner vs later and not in a good way.

AI is like the ability to split the atom: Man has discovered it a long,long time before he is really ready to handle it.

Man isn't anywhere close to discovering AI. And clearly our grasp of the atom and its power hasn't stopped us from making great leaps forward. And it's not like humanity is actually on a path to moral apotheosis, after which transformation all things will be permitted to our holy perfect selves.
