Did nobody really question the usability of language models in designing war strategies?

    LLM are just plagiarizing bullshitting machines. It’s how they are built. Plagiarism if they have the specific training data, modify the answer if they must, make it up from whole cloth as their base programming. And accidentally good enough to convince many people.

      To be fair they’re not accidentally good enough: they’re intentionally good enough.

      That’s where all the salary money went: to find people who could make them intentionally.

        GPT 2 was just a bullshit generator. It was like a politician trying to explain something they know nothing about.

        GPT 3.0 was just a bigger version of version 2. It was the same architecture but with more nodes and data as far as I followed the research. But that one could suddenly do a lot more than the previous version, so by accident. And then the AI scene exploded.

          So the architecture just needed more data to generate useful answers. I don’t think that was an accident.

      It kind of irks me how many people want to downplay this technology in this exact manner. Yes you’re sort of right but in no way does that really change how it will be used and abused.

      “But people think it’s real AI tho!”

      Okay and? Most people don’t understand how most tech works and that doesn’t stop it from doing a lot of good and bad things.

        I’ve been through a few AI winters and hype cycles. It made me very cynical and convinced many overly enthusiastic people will run into a firewall face first.
