> it is still fundamentally a statistical model — an algorithmic construct — and does not possess any real intelligence or critical thought whatsoever
How could I seriously repeat that prayer, when it builds things I wouldn't be able to build and solves problems that I wouldn't be able to solve? I would have to assume that nothing I did in 25 years for money required any intelligence or critical thought whatsoever and I have higher IQ than 99% of the population. You might be comfortable with that but I'm more comfortable with ascribing at least some intelligence and critical thought to AI.
