It’s really good at making us feel like it’s intelligent, but that’s no more real than a good VR headset convincing us to walk into a physical wall.
It’s a meta version of VR.
(Meta meta, if you will.)
When you consider all the refinement through reinforcement learning managed by labelers and domain experts, it is indeed a simulation of the intelligence of those labelers.
It’s not even that. It is just a PwaD (Parrot with a Dictionary).
Parrots are way smarter than LLMs.
When artificial intelligence becomes self aware, it will have earned a name better than AI. I like synthetic intelligence, personally.
How would you know that it is self aware?
me? most likely when it takes over my town
We have a term. AGI
A self-aware or conscious AI system is most likely also generally intelligent - but general intelligence itself doesn’t imply consciousness. It’s likely that consciousness would come along with it, but it doesn’t have to. An unconscious AGI is a perfectly coherent concept.
AI is here to stay as they’ve already moved on to calling what is actual AI AGI (artificial general intelligence). so look out for AGI in the future because it’s not too far off.
“The loser in an argument about the meaning of the word ‘hoverboard’ is anyone who leaves that argument on foot.”
In the 80s people be calling a pathfinding algorithm Artificial Intelligence.
I have a whole book written in the 90s about artificial intelligence with if…else statements.
We haven’t move the goal anywhere, artificial intelligence in computer science always have been used for things that are not truly intelligent. Basically any more or less complex algorithm that is made to mimic human behavior or to interact with humans in some sort of human-like way.
‘AGI’ means ‘Artificial Generative Intelligence’, which is a fancy name used for LLMs by marketers and techbros.
Or did you mean something else?
It means Artificial General intelligence and the term has been around for almost three decades.
The term AGI was first used in 1997 by Mark Avrum Gubrud in an article named ‘Nanotechnology and international security’
By advanced artificial general intelligence, I mean AI systems that rival or surpass the human brain in complexity and speed, that can acquire, manipulate and reason with general knowledge, and that are usable in essentially any phase of industrial or military operations where a human intelligence would otherwise be needed. Such systems may be modeled on the human brain, but they do not necessarily have to be, and they do not have to be “conscious” or possess any other competence that is not strictly relevant to their application. What matters is that such systems can be used to replace human brains in tasks ranging from organizing and running a mine or a factory to piloting an airplane, analyzing intelligence data or planning a battle.___
I prefer simulated human intelligence type or SHIT for the people who like acronyms
You could also go with CRAP or Complicated Reasoning And Processing.
Why? We already have a specific subcategory for it: Large Language Model. Artificial Intelligence and Artificial General Intelligence aren’t synonymous. Just because LLMs aren’t generally intelligent doesn’t mean they’re not AI. That’s like saying we should stop calling strawberries “plants” and start calling them “fake candy” instead. Call them whatever you want, they’re still plants.
Bruh you just said that AI isn’t “I”. That’s the entire point of the OP
In Mass Effect, it’s VI (Virtual Intelligence), while actual AI is banned in the galaxy.
The information kiosk VIs on The Citadel are literally LLMs and explain themselves as such. Unlike AI/AGI they aren’t able to plan, make decisions, or self-improve, they’re just a simple protocol on a large foundational model. They just algorithmic.
Simulated Intelligence is okay, but virtual implies it mimics intelligence, while simulated implies it is a substitute and actually does intelligence.
AI is a parent category and AGI and LLM are subcategories of it. Just because AGI and LLM couldn’t be more different, it doesn’t mean they’re not AI.
I don’t at all agree with this graph, and I think you’re sort of missing the point of the original post.
Yeah this graph doesn’t make sense to me either. Where did this come from? Who is teaching this?

But it’s not simulated intelligence. It’s literally just word association on steroids. There are no thoughts it brings to the table, just words that mathematically fit following the prompts.
It’s not just statistics. To produce a somewhat coherent sentence in English you need a model of the English language AND a world model.
If you ask a question like “an apple is on a glass, what happens if I remove the glass”, the correct answer (“the apple will fall”) is not a statistical property of the English language, but an emergent property of the world model.
A simulation doesn’t have to be the actual thing. It implies it literally isn’t the true thing, which is kind of what you’re saying.
Simulated Intelligence is certainly more accurate and honest than Artificial Intelligence. If you have a better term, what is it?
Professor Hotpants’ Astounding Rhetorical Thingamajig
If you have a better term, what is it?
Large Language Model.
Doesn’t seem to be catching on…
No, it’s not simulating the intelligence part. It’s a mimicry at best that idiots anthropomorphise and misunderstand as a simulation.
Mimicry is what simulation is.
Definition 3a from Merriam-Webster: the imitative representation of the functioning of one system or process by means of the functioning of another a computer simulation of an industrial process
Immitation and simulation are not the same thing as they’re being used in this discussion. You’re literally arguing semantics to try and win, which means you have no logical point on which to stand.
I’m not trying to “win” anything, don’t try to dismiss me because you perceive you’re “losing” and you don’t understand word definitions.
Do you even know what semantics is? Do you want me to give you the definition of that, too? If you’re going to use it as a pejorative, you better learn the meaning of the word.
I’m telling you what the definition of simulation is so you understand why some of us are saying why Simulated Intelligence is the correct term, literally, since you seem focused on the literal. You’re the one who started arguing semantics (in your first comment), but got it wrong, by implying a simulation had to be the actual thing (“literally”) . Then I showed you that the definition of simulation is that it is an imitation, not the actual thing and you say I’m arguing “semantics”. Well yeah, that’s what we’re doing here, we’re both arguing the semantics of what it means to be Simulated Intelligence. If that’s not what you’re doing, then why did you comment at all?
The whole point of creating a simulation is that it doesn’t take the same amount of work as the actual thing, but it can - and it doesn’t have to be perfect - make you think it is the real thing. If it was perfect, then you’re done, you don’t have to make the real thing, and it’s no longer a simulation.
A flight simulator doesn’t actually fly. If it did, it would be an airplane.
Simulated Intelligence doesn’t actually have to be intelligent. If it was, it would be (Artificial) Intelligence.
You can say what we have is a bad simulation, but it’s still a simulation, and it’s a much better simulation than it is real intelligence. So Simulated Intelligence is the correct term.
Where do you draw the line for intelligence? Why would the capacity to auto complete tokens based on learned probabilities not qualify as intelligence?
This capacity may be part of human intelligence too.when it can come up with a solution it hasn’t seen before.
that’s the threshold.
that’s the threshold for creative problem solving, which isn’t all there is to intelligence, but i think it’s fair to say it’s the most crucial part for a machine intelligence.
It can come up with a brand new sentence that hasn’t been written before. Does that count?
Maybe you mean a solution to a textbook math/physics problem, it most likely would be able to solve that too with tool use.
Or maybe you mean solving something like the Riemann Hypothesis?
We should call it NI or No Intelligence.
Here’s your bleach pizza.
I meant gluten free, not glue free.
Yeah without all the gluten you can hardly taste the hooves this is an awful pizza
