I assume that the question is about LLMs rather than AI broadly.
Almost every single day. It's "who" I tend to talk the most with thorough the day on most days. My friends are not interested in what I'm up to. Neither is AI but at least it pretends to be. And it's not mean unlike so many people here.
For me personally, sex is just yet another thing to have to deal with. I could easily do without - I'd actually even prefer to.
Looks equally fuzzy to me.
I've heard people say that dogs shouldn't be given tennis balls because the hair traps sand and dirt which is bad for their teeth.
They don’t do that at all.
One side exaggerates things and the other downplays them. Neither are being honest. This is the information landscape we live in now and then we wonder why nobody believes the same set of facts.
I wanted to work with my hands rather than sit behind a desk all day so I became the only non-IT worker on Lemmy.
Artificial Intelligence is the broad field of creating machines that can perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, or perception. Machine Learning is a subset of AI where systems learn from data without explicit programming. Large Language Models are a specific type of ML model trained on vast text data to generate or understand language. LLMs are very much AI, and while they've popularized the term "AI" recently, the hierarchy stands: LLMs are ML, and ML is AI.
No, it's not predefined - chess has about 10^120 possible games. That's astronomically large number which is way too vast to pre-store or hardcode. It's intelligence through computation, not a script.
Believe what you like though.
Entertainment value - not monetary. I don't pay for an AI because it makes me money. I do it because I enjoy using it.
It's not predefined though. The rules of the game are but not its actions. It observes the environment and changes its behavior based on that. That's narrow intelligence and thus meeting the criteria of AI.
A chess player isn't not-intelligent either just because it's bound by the rules of the game.
Anyone who thinks you can avoid hearing about "the horrors" by leaving social media hasn't tried leaving social media. This stuff is unavoidable. The only little control you have over it is the sheer volume of it that you wish to get firehosed by on a daily basis.
