Ugh.

Large language models are NOT artificial intelligence. Sure, it's popular to call them "AI", but that's really a misnomer.

I would seriously doubt real AI will exist by 2050. We don't know how to do it yet, and we don't have the processing power for it yet. And Moore's law is dead, the next 25 years of processing power increases are NOT going to look like the last 25 years.

Can you build a sexbot with a LLM in it? Sure, that could be done. But you're still just ------------.

Yes. Humans are just biological machines. Philosophers and theologians are just biological machines, and theologians are just particularly stupid ones. It's not a particularly disturbing question, it's just reality.

And we will eventually figure out how to make other machines that think. But it's going to be a while, and it's going to take some breakthroughs in computing, because we're getting to the end of how much smaller we can make transistors.
