Beware of strangers bearing gifts.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon The question paramount in my mind is: As intelligence becomes more powerful, does it also become more meaningful? And when I say "meaning" i mean value, ethical depth, self-understanding, purpose, etc.

P.S. Sorry to bother you so much tonight, it's a coincidence.

@PrettyGnosticMaschine @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon LLM's are statistical engines pseudo randomly selecting the next most likely word to output based on the initial query, it's training data, all the words output so far and any interference by it's owner

No matter how powerful an LLM becomes it will never be more than that

So an LLM will never be capable of ethical depth, self-understanding or purpose

As for value, it'll certainly make it's owner wealthy, the rest of us not so much
