a lot about the nonsensical lust for 'ai' will be solved, once people realize it's not literal human 'intelligence', it's just a collage of data based on statistical analysis of past data and a prompt.

right, thats why some moves by alphago were called beautiful and deeply creative by human go masters?

idk know why this keeps getting repeated, it is NOT a statistical analysis of past data and a prompt. It is not just pattern matching. It is building models to predict patterns, which is a very different statement. And the fact of the matter is, is that is mostly still an unknown blackbox. It is an area of active research to understand the mechanisms of this blackbox.

And therefore it's "intelligent"? eye roll AI as we know it is nothing more than marketing. At least in the gaming sense everyone knows there are no actual smarts.
That's not what the parent claimed. For the love of the holy flying fuck!
On closer examination it appears that you are correct. Sorry, I think I am mainly weary of all the "AI" hype so it's easy to have a knee jerk reaction.
> once people realize it's not literal human 'intelligence'

I suspect that our brains are so profoundly hardwired to recognize certain signal patterns as proof of conscious intent that soon, even experts who should know better are doomed to be fooled. The layman has no chance.

Careful, it’s possible you just described human intelligence ;)
