So what I said. It can do some things that an LLM is good for but it's not going to compile your code for you or read the time off the system or otherwise interact with the world at all unless it is specifically designed to.

Then you make a bit more money but you also have a bigger mortgage and more of your day is spent commuting. That's not a win, its not even a trade off because the place where you moved is worse for your health. My kid recently went for a trip to LA and she couldn't believe how angry everyone was. It seems competing with millions of people for a postage sized lot and small house and a spot on the subway makes people bitter and that is the last thing I want for me or my family.

But what you don't understand is that for some people there is no better job. I know someone who became a store manager and that was a better job. But they had to work 50 hours a week and show up every time one of the employees didn't. They had to work a different shift every day and it took their whole life away because if they weren't sleeping they were working. But that is the only job available that is better.

Because AI cannot do anything it hasn't been programmed to do. When we enter the quit command into a regular program if it doesn't quit then that is called a bug, but when AI is doing it then it is trying to survive? No, people have designed a program that works on data that is so complex they don't even understand it, and they made the poor design choice to put the part they don't understand in front of the internal quit. It's still a bug, but people want to make it something more mystical than that. The complexity of it is basically being used to create plausible deniability that it is still a computer program.

And I'm glad you phrased it like that, since that equally describes a functional description of what your brain does.

The act of thinking is not based on algorithms as far as I am aware. Do you have studies that prove this? I wasn't aware that we really knew enough of how the brain worked to say that it is similar to storage on a hard drive and running an algorithm. I wasn't aware we knew enough about the human brain's functioning to make comparisons.
