That’s the correct take. That’s why any time there’s news of “This AI tried to break out of its containment!” or “The AI tried to manipulate the researchers!” it’s bullshit. The chatbot isn’t thinking. It’s just putting words together that seem like they should go together. So all our media and stories and discourse about AI going rouge is now a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah, most of the “AI is so super sentient now it can out-think the smartest AI researchers!” is just an ad for the LLM, even using the term “AI” gives into the advertising that this product is something that it isn’t.
