The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I am a software engineer. I deal with LLMs and their implementation every day. I'm not a specialist, but I have a good enough idea of how they work. Their core functionality is fundamentally no different than the predictive text function on your phone. Even setting aside the fact that sentience is a complex and ill-defined concept, certainly you can agree that your autocorrect is nowhere in the realm of sentient.
