Google "AI" is Not AI, It's Just Parroting Our Own Descriptions of Ourselves (More Like Clever Plagiarism, Autocomplete Based on Other Sites' Text)
Having run this site for such a long time, we know a thing or two about what we said and wrote about it. The above, which Google calls "AI" is not AI at all. It's just a collection of quotes (maybe mildly paraphrased) of things we said here and elsewhere about the site.
LLMs are overrated and the slop they produce isn't AI, it's just other people's word being cast or framed as "intelligence".
People ought to steer clear and stay away from slop, even if it's sold as "intelligence", "superintelligence", "revolution", "era", "arms race", "innovation" or whatever.
Hype is hype. That's all it is.
Those things (above) clearly lack actual intelligence. They rely on the knowledge of other people, which they replicate to emulate "intelligence" (there is none in the LLMs themselves).
We're not going to participate in the hype, which will die along with companies that depend on it (cratering in Wall Street or outside it). █
