  • Well, we’re doing both so it’s okay.
    /s

    It IS really hard to understand what someone is going through if you’ve never been in that position yourself, and even then it’s hard.

    On the other hand: You never know when to attribute a behavior from someone to malice. And it’s also very easy to stop working on oneself when not pressured in doing so, especially for addicts.

    So yeah, a bit of banter is necessary.

















  • Yeah, I see how this looks. I was trying to comment about how for some people an AI (as in LLM) seems like a real person (or something different, but sentient), so I was reducing the category “AI” to LLMs.

    AI is also, as you said, used for ie pathfinding algorithms in games. I never liked the word “AI” for that. But I came to terms with it as the AI got more sophisticated and rounded, making the figurines in games appear more natural in their behaviour. Also I don’t have a better word for it.

    I used AGI because that is the only subpath of AI that I can consider having a chance of being/becoming sentient. That’s why I went into that direction, to oppose LLMs, despite LLMs being perceived by some as being sentient.

    So yeah, the categorization was a bit off to drive home a point. I didn’t realize you wanted to discuss semantics (I know this sounds sarcastic, but I also tend to correct people on semantics if I can, therefore I don’t intend to be sarcastic.)
