    Kind of feels like semantics.

    Let’s say I give you a discord link and tell you that half the people are bots and half aren’t. Realistically, LLMs are at a level where you won’t be able to tell which is which.

    So what then. You are only having a conversation half the time but you can’t point out when that is? Feels a bit hollow.

    This probably happens on Lemmy. You probably have interactions that you qualify as conversations in your head but that are with bots.

      People are in for a rude awakening when we discover that ‘next token prediction’ is what intelligence means after all.

      back and forths sure. only some attain the level of a conversation. yeah bots exist but social media is not a subsitute for the real world. I would not call it semantics. its my experience talking/chatting with humans and with ai. My big thing with folk who want to get an idea of llm limits is to engage it with a topic you are very familiar with or can see the effects immediately like playing a video game. I have been using it with balders gate and its been. interesting.

        Ya I get what you mean, I’m just saying that to say there’s a difference, you would have to be able to see that difference in a blind test.

        I understand they have limits, but so do regular people. You don’t need to be an expert on a subject to hold a conversation about it.

        They aren’t intelligent and all that, and make the stupidest mistakes but they can more or less hold a convo just as well as the average rando on the internet.

        It’s definitely hollow but I get why people are getting caught up in it.
