<div dir="ltr">My claims are much more founded that the ones she made. I gave examples and supported my claim with logic and knowledge of neuroscience, math, and physics. She is coming up with ridiculous stories about a talking octopus. She is evidently a Luddite when she says "supposed AI". Working in computational linguistics doesn't make her necessarily an AI supporter no matter what she claims. <br>Giovanni <br><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Apr 20, 2023 at 9:33 PM Gordon Swobe <<a href="mailto:gordon.swobe@gmail.com">gordon.swobe@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Apr 20, 2023 at 10:23 PM Giovanni Santostasi <<a href="mailto:gsantostasi@gmail.com" target="_blank">gsantostasi@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I think it is the AGI haters....</div></blockquote><div><br>They are not "AGI haters." Dr. Bender actually addressed this non sequitur in a recent tweet. As Professor of Computational Linguistics. she is very <b>pro-AI</b>, but feels and I agree that people should stop using hyperbolic language. She is urging wild-eyed dreamers like you to tone it down and quit making extravagant and unfounded claims about conscious language models and so on. <br><br>She blames much of it on corporate greed, which could possibly explain that faux pax about Bard learning Bengali with no help. <br><br>-gts</div></div></div>
