“AI” is certainly environmentally damaging and dangerous, and if it isn’t given new input, it quickly starts generating absolute crap

You see that as "defending" the technology?

    That specifically is not the part I was referring to, but for the record, if an LLM isn’t given any input, it does nothing.

    Giving it input is how you “prompt” it to generate the absolute crap.

    I was referring to the part where you gave the LLMs credit for solving math equations when there is evidence that they simply stole the solutions from real mathematicians and attempted to pass it off as work the LLM had done itself.

    All maths is based on previous work. The QRH proof combined known maths in a way that nobody had thought of before.

    I’m not familiar with the equation, but if you’ve got something you think is worth reading I’d take a look at it

    If it doesn’t have an actual human mathematician who has checked its work and verified it, then I don’t care
