D&D General D&D AI Fail

I guess I don’t have to worry about my job going away quite yet. This is what Twitter’s AI thingy thinks is currently happening in the industry I work in.

And if a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its butt when it hopped.

You're a little behind. These GPTs have already taken a few things off my plate at work, and I don't even know what I'm doing. I mostly use it to kill writers block, and to answer emails requesting information that I've already provided. Some people would rather request information rather than read it.

The way generative AI can imitate human creativity while being completely braindead challenges my assumptions of what human intelligence really is.

I mean, it can't? It doesn't? It's just copying humans, that's why it looks like humans. A machine is putting words in the same order humans put them. That doesn't challenge anything about human creativity - there's no creativity because there's no thought, just randomization, and thought isn't that (well, not for most people lol). It's also insanely wasteful power-wise and incapable of real growth.

The only thing interesting about generative AI is how similar some elements of generative AI are to non-lucid dreaming.

No, he's not. You're misunderstanding what he's saying if you think he is.

His statement is completely correct. What you're describing isn't something that could develop from current AI. It would require a fundamentally different approach to AI.

No, I'm not. You're using a hyped-up text chat suggestion window to do extremely mundane tasks.

At the moment, AI is mostly hype. It's advancing extremely quickly, but it's important to not confuse what someone looking for VC funding is promising is about to happen any second now and what it can actually do.

I mean, BBEGs are evil. Of course they're going to ban wheelchair accessibility to their dungeons and lairs.

The truly evil ones close it down after you are already there.

I'm more worried about AI replacing me in my job without having any real understanding of it. Not only would that leave me with no income, it would also leave me wondering if all the time I spent on my career was in any way worthwhile if it can be done by a glorified calculator.

I'm not sure of it's better or worse to say that it's not even doing your job and is just being a catspaw for someone to either cut corners or to proudly show investors that they 'saved money' by not paying you fairly for your work.

The way generative AI can imitate human creativity while being completely braindead challenges my assumptions of what human intelligence really is.

Again, it can't. At least not in the sense of LLMs or Generative 'AI' in general: It's just humans lying to humans for money.

Look, I'm just saying that myself and millions of other people are using GPTs to save time and be more productive.

And if they're so random and unintelligent, then what does that say about human intelligence?

And I agree, they're advancing really quickly. Everyday it is getting harder and harder to tell the difference between random poo-poo robot writers and human writers.

I'm aware.

And if they're so random and unintelligent, then what does that say about human intelligence?

Absolutely nothing. They say a lot about generic mid-grade commercial writing (which includes emails).

And if they're so random and unintelligent, then what does that say about human intelligence?

that they like money and will sell unfinished products with no viable use case to people who keep saying they don't want it to get said money?

I think it suggests that human intelligence as expressed through the written word is very predictable. Indeed I think we all have felt the treadmill of people rehashing old ideas over and over again with the same phrases and word patterns. Now, I'm not saying that novel ideas never arise from human intelligence, but I'm open to that idea. Sometimes new ideas arise from combining old ideas, but sometimes they come from novel observations of the world.
