Oh is it? Maybe you can tell us then how you'd get the models home without the internet? On a DVD? Or interact with a server that runs the model for you? Or how we'd even be having this discussion?

People said similar delusions about Second Life back in the day.

'delusions' and your first thing is second life?

GitHub copilot and sit.ilar will become defacto standard.

Image generation is already here.

School systems already have to act on this due to pupil using it for essays etc.

AI literally creates a new ara for us: it's the first time we structure or learn on data to have a knowledge agent.

Something can depend on another thing and still be "bigger" than it. (as woolly as that definition is)

I don't actually agree with the point you're contesting with but your reasoning here is flawed. Also - you might want to check your tone for future posts. It's slighty combative.

Apologies, I'm new here.

How would you express your angle regarding the contested point?

[andybak]

You're making a logical connection betweeen x depending on y and x being (bigger/more important/more significant) than y.

That implies that nothing can be more important than all of the things that were neccesary for it to come to pass. And there are a huge number of neccesary preconditions for most things. Your definition would result in a very counterintuitive definition of importance.

I understood your criticism of my post. What I was asking for as how you would have expressed the criticism of the post I was criticising, since you mentioned that you also don't agreee with it, just like me.

I just would have made my wording less harsh and less sounding like a personal attack.
