universal generalism

It’s hard to go to work and have these conversations over and over again

I had a conversation with one of my mates, who was convinced, "AI is creative in the same way humans are creative. Therefore AI is actual intelligence."

It was a struggle to try to explain how LLMs aren't creative at all, can't conceptualize understanding, and are unable to determine whether they know something or not. I think I used painting terms, and AI being unable to consistently categorize a new color without being re-trained. He disagreed. Full blown nutter with no more understanding of the tech than you can find on FB, but he's certain he knows best.
