Artificial? Yes. Intelligent? Not So Much. 0

At Psychology Today Blogs, Ian MacRae suggests that observing how AI Chatbots and LLM’s deal with humor can tell us a lot about just how “intelligent” they are. He notes that “(a)Apparently, large language models have a Rickrolling problem,” and goes on to make four main points (emphasis added):

  • LLMs struggle to fully grasp the deeply embedded trends and language patterns of internet culture.
  • Rickrolling, a classic internet prank, reveals the limitations of machine intelligence in understanding.
  • Machine intelligence mimics human communication but lacks true understanding, especially in humor.
  • We don’t yet fully understand the impact of training machine intelligence on vast datasets of online language.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
