I’ve already tried it. It plays like a fan project cobbled together by 2 people, with just enough effort to show it off for a couple of days before it’s taken down by a copyright strike.
Afaik, it is. This news is blown out of proportion. Getting an approval to sell your shares takes like half a year, so these were actually sold way in advance. And he sold basically a couple of shares, compared to what he still holds. They are still scummy, but this is just an attention grabbing article.

You’re joking, but that’s how I unintentionally use the web with Arc Browser. It has rounded corners and an adjustable sidebar of tabs on the right left*. The resulting viewport is tightly approximately* 4:3. Iirc, Edge can also have tabs on the side.
What is “artificial intelligence” and at which point does it become “natural intelligence”, if at all? Arguably, anything man-made that has any sort of intelligence, no matter how advanced, even if surpassing creator’s intelligence, remains “artificial”. And as you said, Data is an artificial life form, therefore its intelligence is also artificial.
I actually do think that, to a decent extent, I understand what AI is. And while this is a technicality, it really grinds my gears when a GPT model is compared to an autocomplete/predictive text. Yes, they both technically just predict text using statistical models, but it’s like comparing a modern jet to a paper airplane, because they both can fly.
[ChatGPT] has no idea what its words mean
Doesn’t it tho? It has an internal model of the world that it constructed by reading and processing tons of text. It knows that an apple is round-ish, comes in certain colors, can be eaten or grow into a tree. That knowledge is very limited due to the model’s inability to experience such things as shape or color; like a blind person knows the description of “red”, but doesn’t actually know what it is.
Of course, it’s debatable whether what a GPT model does can be considered “understanding”, but then again, we don’t really know what understanding IS, but I would argue it’s extremely close to what a human understanding is, albeit in a limited scope.
That being said, I think the discussion of how advanced (or not) our modern AI systems are, though interesting, is extraneous to the question at hand. The main question is “what is AI?”. From your comment, I can conclude that your definition of AI relies on the subject’s possession of sentience/consciousness. I think this is a flawed approach because a bee, while undoubtedly possessing rudimentary intelligence, in all likelihood, lacks consciousness. So consciousness should not be a qualifying criteria for an AI. Furthermore, I looked up several dictionaries for definitions of “AI”, and they all boil down to “man-made machines that perform human tasks”, here’s are some:
Cambridge Dictionary – “computer technology that allows something to be done in a way that is similar to the way a human would do it”
- Merriam-Webster – “the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior”.
In conclusion, intelligence comes in all shapes and sizes; the only thing differentiating natural intelligence from artificial intelligence is the origin, i.e., if it was man-made, it’s artificial. By that definition, perhaps outdated and lacking insight, Data most definitely possesses AI. Not to mention the lack of full-fledged “sentience” as he can’t experience feelings.
Humans being made of water is not an essential characteristic that defines their function or purpose, whereas for a lake, being made of water is its defining attribute. On the other hand, the comparison between AI and human intelligence in terms of pattern recognition highlights the similarities in function, not the composition.
This seems to have descended into a debate on “what is consciousness”
I disagree, while I did go on a tangent there with analyzing ChatGPT capabilities, my ultimate argument was that we shouldn’t even be discussing the consciousness topic at all. When deciding whether Data has AI or natural intelligence we only need to look at the source of his intelligence; it was man-made, therefore any painting Data produces is “AI art”, because Data only has AI, despite having capabilities on par or even exceeding those of a human.
To be honest, I did take it as being a little condescending, but it doesn’t really matter. All I wish is to have a discussion, and expand our knowledge in the process.
