Pirating an AI. Truly a future worth living for.

(Yes I know its an LLM not an AI)

an LLM is an AI like a square is a rectangle.
There are infinitely many other rectangles, but a square is certainly one of them

If you don’t want to think about it too much; all thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs.

Thank You! Someone finally said it! Thumbs are fingers and anyone who says otherwise is huffing blue paint in their grandfather’s garage to forget how badly they hurt the ones who care about them the most.

LLM is AI. So are NPCs in video games that just use if-else statements.

Don’t confuse AI in real-life with AI in fiction (like movies).

AI IS NOT IF ELSE STATEMENTS. AI learns and adapts to its surroundings by learning. It stored this learnt data into “weights” in accordance with its stated goal. This is what “intelligence” refers to.

Edit: I was wrong lmao. As the commentators below pointed out, “AI” in the context of computer science is a term that has been defined in the industry long before. Where I went wrong was in taking the definition of “intelligence” and slapping “artificial” before it. Therefore while the literal definition might be similar to mine, it is different in CS. Also, @blotz@lemmy.world even provided something called “Expert Systems”, which are a subset of AI that use if-then statements. Soooo yeah… My point doesn’t stand.

This is unfortunately not true - AI has been a defined term for several years, maybe even decades by now. It’s a whole field of study in Computer Science about different algorithms, including stuff like Expert Systems, agents based on FSM or Behavior Trees, and more. Only subset of AI algorithms require learning.

As a side-note, it must suck to be an AI CS student in this day and age. Searching for anything AI related on the internet now sucks, if you want to get to anything not directly related to LLMs. I’d hate to have to study for exams in this environment…

I hate it when CS terms become buzzwords… It makes academic learning so much harder, without providing anything positive to the subject. Only low-effort articles trying to explain subject matter they barely understand, usually mixing terms that have been exactly defined with unrelated stuff, making it super hard to find actually useful information. And the AI is the worst offender so far, being a game developer who needs to research AI Agents for games, it’s attrocious. I have to sort through so many “I’ve used AI to make this game…” articles and YT videos, to the point it’s basically not possible to find anything relevant to AI I’m interrested it…

Machine learning isn’t the only form of AI.

Heya! This isnt true. You are correct that about the broad strokes but there are plenty of examples where this isn’t the case. Expert Systems are a very popular form of ai which can be made of only if else statements.

represented mainly as if–then rules rather than through conventional procedural code.

Expert systems were among the first truly successful forms of artificial intelligence (AI) software.

I always heard the same as you: it can’t be AI unless it can change in some way.

Large Language models are under the field of artificial intelligence.

What is LLM in the context of lemme/tech?

I see that and think of a specialized law degree.

Are you asking what it means? Large Language Model, if thats what you are asking. Its what people are usually talking about when they talk about AI.

It has no intellegence, but they can be impressive probability machines

To be fair, human brains are basically impressive probability machines. Yes, there is more to it, but a lot of it is about just probabilities

That’s what I was asking. Thank you. I didn’t quite know how to phrase a Google question to figure it out.
