        Had to attempt to explain this to a 15 year old. It was a struggle. Chatgpt is a word calculator. There is no intelligence.

          When I took my AI coursework in college, that was basically the definition of AI.

          I can see that there are two very different definitions, depending upon how “artificial” is interpreted.

          One definition of artificial simply describes the product of human effort. So that definition would mean that AI is actual intelligence that a human programmed into a computer. Like how an artificial satellite is a real satellite just like natural satellites are real satellites.

          Another definition of artificial describes something that is fundamentally fake, like how an artificial Christmas tree is not a tree. It only looks like a tree. This is the usage I was taught in college that describes AI. Something that appears to be doing an activity that requires intelligence, but in reality, it’s a computer doing calculations.

          I think the second definition must be the most common. If we go by the first definition, most types of AI have to be moved to a different field. Things like decision trees simply wouldn’t qualify.

            Wow do i wish you were there to explain to my niece. You would have probably had a much easier time.

            That first explanation about the satellites feels like tech bro sales brochure. The later about the tree also was not the concept i was given.

            I fully except the new tiered a.i. and a.g.i. stuff but at the top that singularity simply can’t be faked. If such a thing exists at all. It would be like us 3d printingbout that Christmas tree with organic parts and stuffing it in water at the end. If it started photosynthesis when givin light? That would be the level of a.i. i was given in the 80s. Notbplastic tree and calculator satellite. Sorry if that came off as snarky. I was kinda on a roll. Probably incoherent ramble but i just woke up. 😋

        Actually that’s not better. Hundreds of people are being paid to spout nazi propaganda for musk’s ego
