I looked through you comment history. It’s impressive how many times you repeat this mantra and while people fownvote you and correct you on bad faith, you keep doing it.

Why? I think you have a hard time realizing that people may have another definition of AI than you. If you don’t agree with thier version, you should still be open to that possibility. Just spewing out your take doesn’t help anyone.

For me, AI is a broad gield of maths, including ALL of Machine Learning but also other fields, such as simple if/else programming to solve a very specific task to “smarter” problem solving algorithms such as pathfinding or other atatistical methods for solving more data-heavy problems.

Machine Learning has become a huge field (again all of it inside the field of AI). A small but growing part of ML is LLM, which we are talking about in this thread.

All of the above is AI. None of it is AGI - yet.

You could change all of your future comments to “None of this is “AGI”” in order to be more clear. I guess that wouldn’t trigger people as much though…

Finally someone who actually wants a debate.

I agree that it’s not a problem until it is a problem. I think we differ in the way we are vigilant about defending the core of democracy.

Open elections, free speech and free press are very important to defend, even if you happen to dislike the person in question. I’d rather defend free speech of a person I hate than slowly carving away at it, one “victory” at a time. If one person doesn’t have free speech, there is no free speech left.

I see it the same with elections. If anyone can be barred from running in an election, the election isn’t open anymore.

I don’t see it as skeptical versus cynical. Maybe in your eyes. What I’ve seen lately though is that democracy can be over very quickly, or in a way that no one can stop, even if you can see the signs. Look at USA right now, it’s been going down hill for a while now but most people are realizing too late to do anything.

I’m not here to discuss France or their politics because I know nothing about it, nor about Le Pen. People seem to go very much into “it’s fine for now in France”.

It’s fine until it isn’t.

I never said it was corrupted. I said in general, courts van be corrupted. See the supreme court of the USA for a recent example.

Yep but that’s what Putin also says before throwing people in jail.

Courts can be corrupted and if that happens, an open election is the last chance before full dictatorship ensues.

Not to defend Le Pen but barring opponents from elections is on page one of the fascist playbook.
