I really don't care where you've worked, to seriously argue that LLMs aren't more capable of conversation than ELIZA, aren't capable of pair programming even, is gargantuan levels of cope.
I didn't make any claims about their utility. I said that they are not like people. They are machines through and through. Regular software programs. Programs that are, I suppose, a little bit too complex for the average human to understand, so now we have the Eliza effect applying to an entirely new generation.
"I had not realized ... exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people." -- Eliza's creator
I would doubt that they are just “regular software programs” as explainable ai (or other statistical tracing) has been lagging far behind.
If this is the case and the latest models can be explained through their weights and settings, please link it. I would like to see explainable ai up and coming.
