Considering that AI is "hallucinating", and able to make up information that seems true based on what the model was trained on, what is the difference between current AI and the human brain? (lemmy.ca)

To elaborate a little:

Since many people are unable to tell the difference between a "real human" and an AI, they have been documented "going rogue" and acting outside of parameters, they can lie, they can compose stories and pictures based on the training received. I can't see AI as less than human at this point because of those points.

When I think about this, I think about that being the reason as to why we cannot create so called "AGI" because we have no proper example or understanding to create it and thus created what we knew. Us.

The "hallucinating" is interesting to me specifically because that seems what is different between the AI of the past, and modern models that acts like our own brains.

I think we really don't want to accept what we have already accomplished because we don't like looking into that mirror and seeing how simple our logical process' are mechanically speaking.

Our brains are perfectly capable of lying to us, and do so all the time. Posted this yesterday:

“Brains are survival engines, not truth detectors. If self-deception promotes fitness, the brain lies. Stops noticing—irrelevant things. Truth never matters. Only fitness. By now you don’t experience the world as it exists at all. You experience a simulation built from assumptions. Shortcuts. Lies. Whole species is agnosiac by default.”

― Peter Watts, Blindsight

I'd say we're not too capable in the understanding department either. And no, I'm not conflating LLMs with human intelligence, but LLMs have far more going on than lemmy will admit, and we have far less going on than we think.

Yes and yes and especially yes on the last bit.
