What we have today in the image of LLM’s, image generators etc. is simply a probability machine and a fancy search engine combined with a lot of data gleaned from the internet. It would probably even be allowed in the Dune Universe after the Butlerian Jihad. You prompt it, and it gives the most likely statistical reply. But it cannot think for itself, it doesn’t have its stream of consciousness, it is only “alive” when you prompt it to react. ChatGPT or Grok doesn’t sit there twiddling its metaphorical thumbs, thinking about dinosaurs or quantum mechanics when it is idle, it is not an intelligence that happens to live on silicon instead of organic matter. Yeah, it is impressive what it can do, but calling this “Artificial Intelligence” is like as if Faraday and other early pioneers of electricity decided to call electricity “magic”. submitted by /u/yushaleth
