I have to say I find it baffling that some of the best thinkers on the planet today are calling LLMs (Large Language Models) AI unironically and somehow linking it with bringing a thinking organism into being via a computer (actual AI which thanks to linguistic slippage is now idiotically being termed AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). Almost every other day I see a new substack post on how AI (LLMs) has blown past all sceptics and cynics in its progressive timeline and therefore AGI is surely just around the corner along with the apocalypse.
If the first awakening is atheism the second awakening is surely that nobody - nobody - escapes religious style thinking. It must be absolutely hardcoded into us to believe in something greater than ourselves that can't be explained and then become weirdly illogical and irrational in our defence of it. If you think you've escaped it I offer you my own religious-esque foibles: I treat the truth, freedom and loyalty as sacred and become sickened at things like lying for power and control. If I was a true non-human, emotionless robot, I wouldn't feel this way.
Again, though I want to stress just how bafflingly stupid it is that the world's smartest people are equating ever advancing LLMs with actually creating a thinking organism.
Side note: "I think, therefore I am" doesn't hold up to even the slightest inspection. Ants clearly aren't thinking and still are. Meditators still the flow of thought and still are. It's a strange pronunciation to have taken such hold.
