https://empereur-pirate.medium.com/qualitative-emergence-the-paradox-of-statistical-ai-in-language-comprehension-ccd1e221423e
This text explores the nature of generative AI language models, highlighting their ability to produce coherent content despite being based on statistical processes. It discusses the role of random exploration in AI's impressive capabilities, while emphasizing that these models lack true understanding or subjectivity. The article contrasts AI's quantitative-to-qualitative approach with human cognitive development. It argues that AI serves as a tool for rewriting, analogical combination, and reasoned evaluation, rather than being truly intelligent. The text concludes by considering AI's potential applications in fields like law, stressing the importance of transparency and participatory models in AI development and use.
