One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    It’s just gonna pollute the internet with even more bullshit. Language models don’t really understand topics, they just put together words that are likely to appear with each other. Biases are inherent to this design.

      Yeah, even if it worked perfectly it would only be as smart as the training data.

        Any person capable of remembering every single scientific paper would be immensely smart in my book.

        So AI would be considered smarter than even the scientists in their fields.

          Memorizing/knowing things has nothing to do with being smart. Would you call an encyclopedia “smart”? Conversely, you can be both ignorant and smart.
