“Despite its impressive output, generative AI doesn’t have a coherent understanding of the world”

Umm, how about a big, giant, 4th-grade, “No, duh!”

Of course, generative AI doesn’t have a coherent understanding of the world. Because generative AI doesn’t have an understanding of anything. It is a predictive model, albeit a very effective one, in certain circumstances. It’s ones and zeros. It’s math. It’s just typing. 

AI is a tool. It is an enhancement of a human being. It is not a being. 

To be fair, coherence is a difficult hill to climb. I could make an argument that no one is coherent in their understanding of the world. That’s actually one of the things that makes us resilient and adaptable. 

Let the AI do AI things. You do the human things.
