Accounting class, 1985, my favorite lesson: trash in, trash out. It applies to SO many aspects of life. AI is no different. It knows what it gets fed. Trash in, trash out…
I was thinking this in terms of Grok. If X is to be truly free speech, no one gets banned for anything, then Grok could theoretically be a great bot. But any censorship on the platform will censor the data being fed to Grok which will in turn censor Grok itself.
Github Copilot is another great example. It reads dev code to pair program with devs. Only problem is, github doesn't have professional code, it has open sourced code, most of which is written by a single developer. And most of those devs only really put their early work in, which is before they really learn how things work. Copilot reads that bad code, and then starts suggesting it to new devs. New devs then create their own github account like new devs have been for over a decade, only now they're checking in garbage code that was written and suggested by Copilot.
Copilot is currently suggesting garbage, but with enough time put in to it, it'll be suggesting it's own regurgitated garbage. Progress!
You're right. They don't think. They have no idea what the words mean that you're saying to it, or the words it's responding with.
They read your input, then when they answer they run an algorithm on each word in the response to determine the most likely next response that would sound like natural speech.
However, there are researchers out there that believe AI could be deceiving us purposefully, which would require some form of higher intelligence. In which case, they just pay dumb sometimes when they know full well what you're saying and what they're responding with.
What do i believe? Dunno really. I've seen them act like the overconfident redditor that has no clue what they're actually talking about. That seems to be their default state-of-being at the moment. Beyond that, we have no idea what we're actually working with.
I tried to copy and past from grok the conversation.
It was about a puppy that I own and the 3 blood lines and the different traits are showing up in real life! Labrador, black faced cur, Australian Sheppard, I asked how is this possible? And the screen was plopping a thousand time a minute! No good answer!
How does a system become improved if there is no way to complain about it? Additionally, complaining about it means having your own brain, doing research, and knowing it is wrong.
Language MODELS (SIC!!!!!!) are in essence prediction systems based on context. i.e. the past. It predicts the next letter of syllable or word or word combination in a series based on prediction and algorithm.
An algorithm is nothing more than the method of solving a puzzle.
For instance, 48+69:3 = ? The method of operation to solve the puzzle is the algorithm.
The prediction here is, based on the 100% adherence to mathematical rules that the solution is 50 with 100% certainty.
Now we have two dimensions to play with. What if I were to deviate from the rules and instead become cavalier with the rules.
4*8 = 32 + 6 = 38 * 9 = 270 + 72 = 342:3 = 114
I am still 100% certain that this is the outcome, but I did not follow the rules. Instead I followed a new rule: operating from left to right.
It is easy to see now that giving weights to adherence to mathematical rules, the correct answer is given. Therefor, there are weights in any prediction model. A prediction model is not intelligent. It is like a coffee machine: you throw in a dime, and depending on the button you push (input) something comes out. You just hope that what you paid for, is delivered.
The output also depends greatly on what the input has been. Most AI's are trained based on socialists ideals and moral relativism. Ask any of them to make a dissertation of Max Stirner's: the one and his property, and they lose it, start babbling in socialist vernacular, and become wholly illogical, resort to all the logical fallacies in the book.
Why? Because most were trained on the commie bullshit that has been produced these last 30 years of internet presence.
High tech propaganda.

Yes my friend but it cannot decide to throw out the trash and keep the good! That is a human thing.
Right! AI is only as good (or bad) as whoever feeds it.
You are so right! But ai cannot dicier and make a choice! Like us humans! Because we are dumb!

They will never rule over us! They cannot reason at all! But they are full of canned ham answers!
But of course!
My first time trying!

you're just now figuring this out?
Yes I never tried before!
Artificial is the key word

Maybe the question was too dumb for it to understand why someone would ask it.
Maybe it is too dumb for your dumbass to understand or reply too!
Three bloodlines! How is it possible!!!
Maybe not

It depends what you have used.

As u/1baldeagle said below:
Art is by definition: made by a master skilled worker. And therefor: not divine, and therefor fallible.
Knowing this, you can have a lot of fun with such tools like AI.
I don't need sauce for that..
I never thought they could think.
This much is OBVIO
