Episode 77
All the fuss about the new generation of AI products based on large language models, with their ability both to ghost-write term papers and spew out occasional misinformation in so doing, makes you wonder whether artificial intelligence will ever live up to the second part of its name. Joe and Mark discuss what it means to be intelligent, how close (or not) AI comes to that standard, and what it might take to design a truly intelligent machine. (Recorded September 15, 2023.)
