Did you know that your chatbot might be out to deceive you? That it might be lying to you? And it might turn you into paperclips? Huge if true! Ordinary people have been using chatbots for a couple…
I used to think that comparing LLMs to people was dumb, because LLMs are just feed-forward networks–basically seven bipartite graphs in a trench coat–that are incapable of introspection.
However, I’m coming around to the notion that some of our drive-by visitors have a brain that’s seven cells deep.
I feel attacked.
Seriously I hate the idea that my comments are replies to engagement bots. I’m sure some are but my seven cells are too busy to work out which ones.
Yeah, general artificial intelligence LLMs are definitely not. Human level intelligence, though… yeah, that depends on what particular human you’re talking about.
(Though, to be fair, this isn’t limited to LLMs… it also applies to Eliza, for instance, or your average lump of granite.)

We just are very good at anthropomorphizing. We created pet rocks for example (also showing that capitalism is more than happy to jump into this)
