I’m not willing to go into that level of “pedantry”. I like to assume I’m talking with people that have relevant context so we don’t have to go into stupid detail and assume random data generated by a freaking random number generator constitutes as knowledge.

Are you unwilling or unable? This really feels like a vibes based definition. Is "knowledge" like pornography, you know it when you see it? How does it differ from information? How do we know it's novel? The term implies that the AI "knows" something, which is a big claim to make, and I don't think it can be in any way considered to be self evident.

I get it, you like AI, so much so that you're willing to throw out personal attacks to defend it, but it's important to be critical or it's easy to be suckered.

Totally able. But totally unwilling. Let’s be clear. I’m not engaging with the rest of your pedantry.

I don’t love AI. I hate it. But im not deluded for what it is.
