[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9021140, member: 7035894"] Yes, I know that this was pretty well understood by people in fields of neuro-science; I teach Theory of Knowledge. But not by most people. I think most folks see thought and, by extension, writing and art as highly individualized, and the result of a sort of creative spark, a uniquely human phenomenon. For that matter most human beings claim belief in a sort of divine soul of some sort. What these sorts of AI confront everyday people with is evidence that a lot of the stuff most thought made us unique...doesn't. Generative AI are showing a lot of emergent properties that, while not happening as a result of processes like what happens in a human brain, are nevertheless converging on similar outcomes. They still have some profound limitations, but are startlingly good at tasks that most would have deemed impossible not long ago, and no one understands where this is going. Writers are right to be worried. Not that that is really what this strike is about - it is mostly about getting a fair slice of the revenue for their work that media corporations are now able to spread out amongst dozens of different platforms in a kind of shell game that makes it very hard to nail down specific numbers. But the AI threat is coming down the pipe and could make all of those issues irrelevant. Edit: this is from a current SA article and has huge implications: This is one of a number of recent experiments that is showing that LLM AIs seem to be evolving unexpected, emergent capacities.
