Because “ai” ad we colloquially know today are language models: they train on and can produce language, that’s what they are designed on. Yes, they can produce images and also videos, but they don’t have any form of real knowledge or understanding, they only predict the next word or the next pixel based on their prompt and their vast examples of words and images. You can only talk to them because that’s what they are for.
Feeding research papers will make it spit research-sounding words, which probably will contain some correct information, but at best an llm trained on that would be useful to search through existing research, it would not be able to make new one
Because that’s what it’s designed for? I’m curious what else it could be good for. A machine capable of independent, intelligent research sounds like a totally different invention entirely.
It’s sort of like the communication aspect of it isn’t the sole purpose of it. It’s as if we invented computers but the only thing we cared about was the monitor and the keyboard.
We want it to DO things. Stick to the truth, not just placate.
Didn’t realize that. The only applications I’ve seen for it are conversation or generating media based on text input. I thought all it did was analyze text and create a response based on patterns it had observed.
I haven’t done much with it myself though so that’s probably a very limited POV.
I kind of think my question is WHY ARE WE FOCUSING ON TALKING TO IT?
