Yeah no shit, AI doesn’t think. Context doesn’t exist for it. It doesn’t even understand the meanings of individual words at all, none of them.

Machines and algorithms don’t have emergent properties, organic things like us do.

The current AI chats are emergent properties. The very fact that I looks like it’s talking with us despite being just probabilistic models of a neural network is an emergent effect. The neural network is just a bunch of numbers.

We have emergent properties all the way down to the quantum level, being “organic” has nothing to do with it.

You’re correct, but that wasn’t the conversation. I didn’t say only organic, and I said machines and algorithms don’t. You chimed in just to get that “I’m right” high, and you are the problem with internet interactions.
