Perhaps in very limited aspects, but it is only as good as the model it is based on, and most mainstream models aren't better than the human understanding they tried to imitate from the outside

the next real generation of technology won't come from haphazard attempts to force machine learning to parrot people, but rather directly working with knowledgeable peers to train machines in human techniques so that some actual benefit can be imparted to the user

it depends on how they're being developed. i own at least one set of these tools which was made in mind for people working on these things, but it doesn't use genAI at all and instead was deliberately designed without use of LLMs and other forms of aggregation. so i still think genAI is a dead end

and all of that comes from being the product of countless generations of people who faced the same problems, which can't be properly expressed in a machine until it too reaches the same point where we are able to impart that degree of flexibility, which we can't by simply just throwing data forever

a computer will excel in a controlled environment with all known factors, but we don't live in a fully controllable environment with all known factors, and our ability to adapt to that is what sets us apart right now, even if we won't have optimized solutions (if such a concept is even possible)

I didn't say anything about free will or inner voices, what I'm saying is that because we're messy and *less* deliberate, the outcomes of our actions are more complicated than we'll ever know simply because of that chaos, and machines can attempt to replicate this but they can't ever reach it

to put it in more simplistic terms, a human can throw a rock, and a gun is designed to fire a bullet way faster than a human can throw a rock, but we're not calling guns "humanlike super throwing machines revolutionizing throwing" just because it is doing something like throwing a rock

that being said, we shouldn't even expect computers and AI to take that shape to begin with. maybe nonorganic processing will eventually encompass a new type of existence in of itself. but trying to draw those comparisons will never work as it is now. it remains a tool for finding or copying

Until we come to actually and accurately dissect being alive, there will never be a machine that can perform a task with the same degree of context that would grant it the same type of relationship life has with existence until it can achieve real awareness, and anybody claiming otherwise is lying

You can make the brick fancier but it's not even close to being whatever state the human mind projects onto things it's reflexively pack bonding with. A computer can't even contextualize or experience bizarre kinship with humans even if somebody tried really hard to reproduce that outcome

We weren't designed by committee, but came together out of some sort of confluence of happenstance. Everything we touch ends up altered in some way by our experiences and viewpoints. A computer is just a brick that does a thing that was made to do the thing in a pale imitation of that process

What we do in our heads is infinitely more deliberate than a machine that is just designed to send signals all day. We make actual decisions based on past and present states. We don't just wheel things one end to the other and call it a day. You couldn't force any living being to do so forever

The machine did not create the strategy because it was just told to solve for X and then did the operation. The user recognized the sequence as a strategy, and they can say it was discovered, but as far as creating, I would say that mostly came about after they researched the strategy

My definition of "create" involves being able to consciously recognize an action as moving towards a goal. Without a creator who can perceive the act of creation through deliberate action and then comprehend it, it is just something that happened with no intent

It was recorded. In a database of hundreds of thousands of possible moves, which it sorted through to find the possibility of doing so. But life is not a go board and this one skillset is cool but it isn't useful outside of the capacity of solving for boardgames

Finding something and then claiming it as your own thing without acting on it or doing anything else, just using it as a thing to be traded around without consideration or showing it off, without ever having participated in how it was made, is essentially why as soon as it shuts off you have nothing

It seems fitting that you've toted out this old chestnut because why come up with a new argument, but I assure you that the act of observing and changing is a fundamental part of existence, so trying to automate it with something incapable of changing on its own removes that step from the process

I use the word "steal" because while moves in a board game are easy to derive in a predetermined environment, data about everything else that isn't a controllable environment like a board game has to come from scraping that data because they didn't want to pay for having people work with them

Therein lies the problem: the solution has to exist first in the dataset before they can find it, but if nobody has created the solution so that it can be in the dataset, then there is nothing to find. LLMs can't take credit for discovering something that already exists if they didn't first steal it

It no more "created a solution" than it just does the thing computers are supposed to do: hold large amounts of information and then sift through it. The vast majority of that information is garbage data for fishing through to find it. But data scientists think they can apply this to everything

At the end of the day it's just a tool that simulates large numbers of outcomes and then highlights one based on the parameters. It is no more novel than another search engine, but this one just says "find this outcome" and then they make a database large enough to contain that outcome among others
