The emergent behavior in huge models where it can “reason” instead of simply predicting the next token is fascinating. Artificial “neurons” built on statistics and linear algebra emerge to create something that legitimately has artificial intelligence. ANNs were conceived in the 1940s, building on centuries of development in statistical modeling and only now do we have the compute power to make this vision a reality.
Yes, the “intelligence” has significant limitations and won’t be replacing human intelligence anytime soon, but it can actually be a useful tool if its limitations are kept in mind.
The problem is of course the tech bros turning centuries of innovation they had no part in developing into a massive Ponzi scheme for their own profit.
