ChatGPT transcends human knowledge
Might as well start with the authors largest leap first. Kissinger and the AI stooges attach themselves quickly to popular ideas that engineers and creators behind ChatGPT simply don’t understand how it works. Sure, engineers can and have explained that the system is a large language model utilizing vast troves of online data to try and understand a user’s prompt and predict possible answers, but that’s not good enough for the AI Stooges, who say there’s still some underlying mystery behind the system’s supposed “knowledge.” That knowledge transcends human understanding.
“By what process the learning machine stores its knowledge, distills it and retrieves it remains similarly unknown,” Kissinger and the Stooges write. Whether that process will ever be discovered, the mystery associated with machine learning will challenge human cognition for the indefinite future.”
“Looking to the future, the Stooges predict ChatGPT style AIs, when mixed with humans, “stands to be a more powerful means of discovery than human reason alone.” “Learning from the changing outputs of generative AI, rather than exclusively from human written text, may distort today’s conventional human knowledge,” they write.
