Yes, and we’re in denial about it.

Every time I hear someone talking up prompt engineering, I feel like I should say something. But I don’t.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I like that someone in a position of authority is talking about this.

And I don’t mean to denigrate data science. It is important and powerful. And real machine intelligence may one day emerge from it (or data science may one day point the way). But data science just isn’t AI.

This is because the AI of today is a shit sandwich that we’re being told is peanut butter and jelly.

For those who like to party: All the current “AI” technologies use statistics to approximate semantics. They can’t just be semantic, because we don’t know how meaning works or what gives rise to it. So the public is put off because they have an intuitive sense of the ruse.

As long as the mechanics of meaning remain a mystery, “AI” will be parlor tricks.

No, no, no-no, no-no-no-no, no-no-no!

I’m going to need to see your passport to prove you’re not American. Otherwise fines may be assessed.

I would be interested in learning what people find objectionable about my comments, if anyone would care to share.

Yes the developer sees it, and also the data brokers they sell all their user data to see it, aggregate it, and corollate it. Not to mention whatever Microsoft does with it.
