AI does not have original thoughts. In that sense, it’s like government workers. From Dr. Joseph Sansone at josephsansone.substack.com:
Mixing Biology and Technology IS A Disaster Waiting to Happen
Artificial Intelligence, is in fact, ‘Artificial’ Intelligence. It is not authentic intelligence. It is a facsimile. AI is no more intelligent than a calculator is. A calculator can add faster and more accurately than a human can, yet it is not intelligent any more than a cog or any other component is in machinery. Computers can carry out tasks more quickly and efficiently than the human mind, but there is no cognition involved. There is no actual discernment.
I would argue that AI is simply more advanced computers that simulate human intelligence using algorithms that complete higher level tasks that can engage in simulated problem solving, decision making, or language understanding.
In reality the computer processes language through pattern recognition, analyzing context, syntax, and intent based on the data previously trained on.
The AI (computer) responses are generated responses achieved through combining patterns. Inputs are analyzed and then a response is constructed based on relevant patterns. The computer generates a response that aligns with those patterns. This process mimics problem-solving but is fundamentally based on statistical relationships in language, not true comprehension.
Responses are shaped by statistical probabilities derived from the training data. Protocols are followed that are essentially algorithms that weigh these probabilities to determine the most likely, relevant, and coherent response. In a statistical sense, the computer responses are “predetermined” by the patterns in the data that the computer is trained on.
