I never claimed it wasn’t artificial, my argument is that it’s not intelligent.

And what does “… are a chipper and solvent of competency…” mean?

My observation from having to deal with entities which have had exposure to LLMs, is any competency or credibility they may have had, is eroded proportionally to their level of exposure. It’s equivalent to experiencing a traumatic brain injury.

Losing cognitive ability is bad enough, but it’s devastating when they never possessed it to begin with.

You’re proving my point, jog on.

Either, intelligence requires possession and presentation of comprehension, which LLMs are intrinsically incapable of, and I’m yet to observe any example of otherwise.

Skill is acquired with use over time.

LLMs can be scalpels, but they’re currently being used as sledgehammers. Wielded in the right hands, they can appear to work magic, but they haven’t been available long enough for anyone to legitimately claim meaningful competence.

And none of it can possess or present comprehension, which for me is a requirement for intelligence.

‘AI’, as Artificial Intelligence, is yet to be demonstrated, and the opinion of anyone convinced it has needs to be summarily dismissed, and if they persist, ridiculed.

LLMs are a chipper and solvent of competency and credibility, which is a problem when used by someone attempting to build and develop them.
