I studied Artificial Intelligence for four years, and I am not touching LLM AIs with a ten-foot pole.

It's not really about the insane electricity demands, the water usage, tho that's a good reason. It's not even, if I'm honest, about the disastrous effect on the sum of all human art and knowledge.

It's because a) I've studied enough AI to know it's a trick, a sort of linguistic illusion, and b) I've studied enough everything else to understand that I'm not immune to such illusions.

¢. It turns out this whole time that the Turing
Test was the wrong way to think of it.
Thinking a chatbot is alive is not a test of
how good the chatbot is, but of your own
ability to think of other human beings as real
and complete people

"I heard some professor put googly eyes on
a pencil and waved it at his class saying "HI!
I'm Tim the pencil! | love helping children
with their homework but my favorite is
drawing pictures!"
Then, without warning, he snapped the pencil
in half.

When half his college students gasped,
he said "THAT'S where all this Al
hype comes from. We're not good at
programming consciousness. But we're
GREAT at imagining non-concious things
are people.”
