They are generative in the sense of generating output, nothing more. With the “intelligence” part of the AI we got a fluke, should’ve called it something else until it gets to the real intelligence level (that is now dubbed AGI)
I think of Chat GPT like a sometimes-inaccurate-calculator. There may be some legitimate uses for the technology, but it’s still nice to know how to multiply numbers without it.
Except they can absolutely come up with new things; their responses aren’t just cut and pasted bites of previous text snippets. They are generated based on a neural network’s idea of what the most likely next token is, and tokens are often fragments of words. There’s a reason you can have it do arbitrary things with text- Because it’s doing slightly deeper things than just imitation.
Or you could just learn how to use a tool to do better with instead of bitching about progress. Hur dur calculators can’t do math, they need unique input. No fucking shit Sherlock, lern2technology you fucking boomer.
Chat GPT, and the many other similar systems, are unable to conceive of something new or original, merely imitate what has already come before.
Students who use it to write essays are shooting themselves in the foot, because, chances are, they can’t think for themselves either.
This. God do i hate that LLMs are called generative ai

So it does what grade school teachers expect of their students?

Most people can’t do that and generative AI, no matter how limited is still better than the average shlub.

Was this comment generated by AI?
I’m sure the prompt was something like “write a response to this comment while sounding like I enjoy eating crayons in my free time.”
My experience with AI, and the absolute fucking dorks that talk endlessly about it, is that neither are capable of original thought.
It’s not the technology I don’t like, it’s the users.
Also, why so angery?
