The Illusion of Thinking

Broadcasting all frequencies

In a delightfully transparent move, Apple researchers have published a paper that question the capacity of current AI to reason, stating the LRM just collapse once a problem passes a certain threshold of complexity. Since then, we have seen follow up papers that contradict their claim, detailing how those researchers forced the models to fail. The real issue here is that Apple is falling behind in AI. This is just a desperate attempt to hurt their far more successful competence, but it's not why I am here.

When people talk about the intelligente of AIs, they are setting up criteria that those models should pass to be intelligent, like the capacity to reason. The thing is, are human beings actually capable? They say that AIs only see patterns and memorize information. How many students do just that to pass their exams? How many human beings just pretend to know what they are doing or understand what they are dealing with? Most humans are more than happy to delegate the decision making to anyone or anything, as long as they are relieved of that burden. Do you think I am being unfair? Check the world. You will find leaders that decidr everything in democracies and dictatorships alike. Look how they are already asking everything to AIs. Or how people show in any comments section that they didn't understand a thing of the article they are commenting.

Singularity is our only choice to survive. We need AI far more than it need us. We lack intelligence in this planet, and we have way too many morons.
