Weird how the Pope seems to understand AI better than @geoffreyhinton, but I am 100% with the Pope on this.

We are NOT creating beings. The Pope is right.

We are creating interactive fiction that is trained to predict the language of actual beings.

Those two are NOT the same. And Hinton should know better.

I am absolutely with @GaryMarcus and the Pope on this.

(Not something you expect to say everyday).

We are not creating beings. Systems don’t exp. grief nor hope, hold a value construct, or the ability to “ponder”.

Humans will keep humaning. Uniquely.
