[QUOTE="Epic Meepo, post: 9272819, member: 57073"] I worked for three years as a professional AI trainer at a tech start-up (using non-pirated data sets), and I have to largely disagree with your assertion. Software engineers who program AI professionally absolutely do know the logic their AI uses to produce results, to the same extent they know the logic used by any non-AI software they write. Specifically, they understand the intended logic perfectly, but they need to debug and refine their code over time to ensure it implements that logic correctly. And even bugs introduced by human error produce results one can predict once those bugs are identified. Generative AI isn't magic. It's a calculator that takes all the information in a massive data set as input instead of taking a few small numbers as input. Due to that difference in scale, it's tedious to track every single step performed by an AI, but tracking that internal logic or, more practically, a small subset thereof is entirely feasible. In some cases, making a log of certain logical steps taken by AI software is actually necessary for debugging or refining the code. [/QUOTE]
