It’s so demoralising to perpetually witness apparently intelligent people be convinced that Algorithmic Iterators can in any way be mistaken as a form of intelligence. I’ve struggled for decades to relate to the world; but this recent, collective debasement of rationality has nearly obliterated the few remaining foundations suitable to build hope upon.

Comprehension, something LLMs are intrinsically incapable of demonstrating, let alone possessing.
Replying to @nonentity@sh.itjust.works
you are just replacing one underspecified concept with another. what’s “comprehension”?
Replying to @nialv7@lemmy.world
It’s what you don’t posses about the workings of LLMs (or basic English).
