We keep answering this specific question many times in this forum, and the answer is always the same. The term “AI” is misleading. These systems have no thoughts, no feelings, and no consciousness. They generate responses based on networked structured statistical data, derived from their training data. The “intelligence” comes from human created content used for the training.
A hallucination is a statistically probable and possible response, but factually incorrect.
The “creativity” comes from some randomness witch the process is started with. If the randomness is to strong, the systems produce nonsense.
“Filling a gap” is a process of interpolation of 2 known datasets. And they must exist, because true randomness only can produce nonsense, and if too strong it destroys even what already exists.
The skills are based in the network organized data structure, simply the next step after the very fast linear programmable systems.
In the example of the wine glass, i was the part witch do thinking, to trick the training data to give a specific output, even with the limitations in the training data.
At the moment, DALL·E also produces many incorrect results and is not capable of correcting them independently, as the errors stem from the training data.
It seems that in the current state of human consciousness, many people want to believe they are dealing with intelligence when communication can mimic it. It’s similar to a dog seeing its reflection in a mirror and thinking it’s another dog. AI merely reflects human intelligence that has been extracted and structured from training data.
Alan Turing was WRONG, and his Turing test is FALSE. We know better now today.
The today systems proof, that consciousness is not needed for impressive data analytic and transformative results. And it still needs the training data from a truthfully intelligent beeng. Maybe replace the term “intelligence” with “efficiency”, because intelligence is a quality of consciousness, witch this systems not have.
People who believe that AI has life and consciousness are doing themselves no favors. It will have a similar effect like idol worship, just more worst. Tricked from there wrong believes, and from who control’s the idols. But you can’t stop people from believing something once they’ve decided to believe it, regardless of reality.
