It’s really good at making us feel like it’s intelligent, but that’s no more real than a good VR headset convincing us to walk into a physical wall.
It’s a meta version of VR.
(Meta meta, if you will.)

But it’s not simulated intelligence. It’s literally just word association on steroids. There are no thoughts it brings to the table, just words that mathematically fit following the prompts.
A simulation doesn’t have to be the actual thing. It implies it literally isn’t the true thing, which is kind of what you’re saying.
Simulated Intelligence is certainly more accurate and honest than Artificial Intelligence. If you have a better term, what is it?
No, it’s not simulating the intelligence part. It’s a mimicry at best that idiots anthropomorphise and misunderstand as a simulation.
Mimicry is what simulation is.
Definition 3a from Merriam-Webster: the imitative representation of the functioning of one system or process by means of the functioning of another a computer simulation of an industrial process

Immitation and simulation are not the same thing as they’re being used in this discussion. You’re literally arguing semantics to try and win, which means you have no logical point on which to stand.

I mean to friends and family – people who have accepted it as smart.
I don’t know about you, but when I try to explain the concept of LLMs to people not in the tech field, their eyes glaze over. I’ve gotten several family members into VR, though. It’s an easier concept to understand.
if only we had a word for applying math to data to give the appearance of a complex process we don’t really understand.
yeah i call it an english simulator
Infinitely better than “intelligence” simulator.
My dog can do calculus but struggles with word association beyond treat, walk, vet and bath. Intelligence is hard to define.
