There's nothing "denialist" about recognizing the utter stupidity of systems that are being mislabeled as "AI". You judge a tool by its results, and the results have been very poor indeed. The only heads in the sand are those whose owners continually refuse to recognize the proofs before their very eyes that there's zero intelligence here. | ||

> zero intelligence here That's head-in-the-sand stuff. AI is certainly very capable of being dumb (as are humans). But: > “The problem was in need of a new real idea, which this new result seems to provide,” says James Maynard, a mathematician at the University of Oxford. “It seems that the AI has made a genuinely interesting mathematical contribution.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-ai-didnt-just-... Nobody a decade ago would have said "oh yeah solving a bunch of open problems in research mathematics, and finding a bunch of zero days in Chrome and Firefox, and winning literature prizes, are things that don't require intelligence." | ||
