    Coherent originality does not point to the machine’s understanding; the human is the one capable of finding a result coherent and weighting their program to produce more results in that vein.

    Your brain does not function in the same way as an artificial neural network, nor are they even in the same neighborhood of capability. John Carmack estimates the brain to be four orders of magnitude more efficient in its thinking; Andrej Karpathy says six.

    And none of these tech companies even pretend that they’ve invented a caring machine that they just haven’t inspired yet. Don’t ascribe further moral and intellectual capabilities to server racks than do the people who advertise them.

      You got the “originality” part there, right? I’m talking about tasks that never came close to being in the training data. Would you like me to link some of the research?

      Given that both biological and computer neural nets very by orders of magnitude in size, that means pretty little. It’s true that one is based on continuous floats and the other is dynamic peaks, but the end result is often remarkably similar in function and behavior.

        Can you please explain what you’re trying to say here?
