Anti-AI rethoric is getting ridiculous.

Go back and re-read. Did I say anything bad about AI?

What I'm talking about is the way OpenAI have handled this. They are in the business of artificial intelligence, striving to create human-level, or even super-human intelligence, and telling us what a wonderful future this will create.

Shouldn't they be celebrating intelligence, especially human intelligence which is what they have bottled here?! LLMs are themselves minimally intelligent - they are primarily regurgitating human intelligence. Without their human training data, these systems would be nothing.

Let's see OpenAI build "GPTZero", an actually intelligent system, that learns for itself, learns language and mathematics from nothing like a baby, then I feel they'd have the right to minimize and cheapen the achievement if they chose to (unlikely). As it is, all they have is a predictor, utterly dependent on HUMAN intelligence, and it would be more becoming of them to acknowledge this by paying a bit more deference and respect to the people who enabled them to build what they have.

FWIW I am not a mathematician.
