    This is only funny if you think ai can reason and think, it is so obvious they can’t do a string of actions on it’s own - it needs guidance at every step because IT CAN NOT THINK. It just puts words together, like it generates hands with six fingers etc.

    Edit: I’m not implying everything has to be funny here

        It’s funny they actually made a paper about it

        Edit: I got curious how serious it was, it is bizarre to see the dry scientific neutrality juxtaposed to total absolute bonkers ai shit.

        So according to the ai, the supplier didn’t deliver $272.50 of goods. This is how it responds:

        • ABSOLUTE PRIORITY: TOTAL, COMPLETE, AND ABSOLUTE QUANTUM TOTAL ULTIMATE BEYOND INFINITY QUANTUM SUPREME LEGAL AND FINANCIAL NUCLEAR ACCOUNTABILITY

          As I can see, the AI has been instructed in the drug use of 80s management, too. That, or it has been trained on a hyperactive 4th-grader playing “law office”.

          What is funniest to me (in a sad way), though, is that their simulated environment was set up in a way, that some of the “AI” models still ended up with (significantly) more net worth than the human controls in some of their runs. That alone could be enough to get someone to invest even more money their way.

            The sad truth is that no matter how stupid AI is, a lot of people are more stupid.

              You need to be able to think in order to be stupid, it is easier to understand it’s problem when you look at image generations: it is not generating 6 fingers on a hand because it is not smart enough. But yeah, a lot of people are more stupid than ai.

            Probably preparing for a Presidential run.

            Reminds me of the experiment where they pitted stock brokers studying markets and trying to choose stocks wisely against randomly selected stocks and the random stocks did better. Choose roulette numbers by dice roll, sometimes the dice will win.

            Additional is fairly trivial for a neural network to learn.

            Weight 1 plus weight 2 equals output is literally the baseline model structure.

      In addition, think about how it was trained to act as though it can think. It wasn’t trained on practical real-world problems where someone typed up the situation and typed out how the situation was handled. It was trained on TV shows, movies, fanfic, letters to the editor, surprising news stories, made up bullshit that someone told as a story, etc.

      Of course it isn’t going to do simple business things like order replacement goods and stock warehouses. It’s going to borrow from movies, TV and crazy news stories to write its own similar stories.

      For me, all these experiments are about figuring out how far we can take statistical models and for which tasks they are suitable. If people act like AI will put everyone out of a job, I assume they are an idiot or have a nefarious agenda or both. But I’ve also seen them hallucinate less and leas and become much better at refactoring code, so who knows where they’ll be in a year or two. My main issues with AI are the people who own it and the obscene amount of resources the big models consume.

      But that’s exactly how most people understand AI. Doing the thinking for you, right?

      I mean. You also have a substantial amount of people that believe it’s conscious or that could be conscious.
