> Simulated intelligence is now known, thanks to LLMs, to be indistinguishable from real intelligence.

Oooff, that's quite the claim. Why don't you try to back it up? Cite some research.

Last time I checked it was still very possible to distinguish "reasoning" LLMs from Real People.

The fact that you don't know whether you're talking to an LLM or a human right now is good enough for me.

The "last time you checked" was evidently 2023 or so. I suggest checking again.

Uh huh. So you have no evidence, and can't prove shit. That's what I figured.

LLMs are nothing but a shallow mirror of human thought, they don't hold up to any serious examination and the only people who think they do are typically narcissists who can't form deep connections with real people. The superficiality of LLMs is not apparent to these fans, because they have never managed to connect with the depth and inner world of another human.

You hate to see it. It's like watching somebody about to be hit by a bus. You scream, you wave your arms, but they either don't see you, or they think you're some kind of nut and ignore you.

Then, the next thing that goes through their mind -- the last thing -- is a chrome hood ornament shaped like a greyhound.

Oh so you do get it! All these idiots running around acting like a calculator can think. The bus is really going to hurt when they hit 40 and realize they outsourced all their humanity to a machine. Art, writing, even reading - these dorks hand it all over to chatGPT. Then they go online and act like they’re more productive than ever, when all they can produce is a dribbling stream of liquid shit.
