But it is partially original. With AI nothing is original.

[-] iegod@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

No. This fundamentally misrepresents the ai models.

[-] BURN@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

No it doesn’t.

AI doesn’t generate anything new. It uses mathematical models to rearrange and regurgitate what it’s already been given. There’s no creation, there’s nothing original. It’s simply stats.

Original interpretation and human input. There’s neither with AI. AI does not create anything. Period. Full stop. No question about it. It’s an objective fact that it doesn’t create anything new.

Ants create things. Creation isn’t some complex higher functioning organism trait.

If it didn’t exist before and it does after, it was created. It doesn’t matter if it’s a mash of other content or made by a human.

I fundamentally disagree. Creation needs some degree of originality. Otherwise it’s just a rehash of what exists already, and that’s not creation of anything new.

I never said non-humans can’t create. I said AI can’t. And I stand by that. There is nothing original about anything a LLM does. It’s statistical analysis on a crazy amount of data. Not creating.

It is

Neural Networks and by extension LLMs are simply statistical models reorganizing training data based on statistical probability. It’s not creating anything new, it’s taking the inputs and more or less “translating” it.
