Artificial? Yes. Intelligent? Not So Much. 0
Under the pretext of a quibble over terminology, psychology professor Gregg Henriques takes a deep dive into why and how AI Chatbots and LLMs get so much so wrong so often. Here’s a tiny bit from his article (emphasis added):
Where do hallucinations like these come from? LLMs like ChatGPT are a type of artificial intelligence that run algorithms that decode content on massive data sets to make predictions about text to generate content. Although the results are often remarkable, it also is the case that LLMs do not really understand the material, at least not like a normal person understand things. This should not surprise us. After all, it is not a person, but a computer that is running a complicated statistical program.
