Foremost, the interesting part is how many laymen have uninformed and intense opinions on what it is and can do. For someone that has followed and worked with / created machine learning algorithms for twenty years, I can honestly say that I have no possible way of keeping up with all advancements and or understand fully how it all works. I also cannot stress how exciting and strange it is to have technology created that we cannot fully understand and predict like with previous technology. We have nobody that can say for sure if they create an internal model of the world itself or not, and weirdly, everything points to that. This is something I wish many of you that have strong feelings about them would understand. Even the top researchers that work with them daily do not know what you claim to know. Please don’t spread false information, because you feel you know IT or programming. This isn’t the same. And secondly, is not AI. I think it was a big mistake to start calling these models that because it has generated mass misunderstandings and misinformation surrounding these models.
