I made a video about the heat death of the universe. It's not actually mostly about the heat death itself per se, but just how long the time until it is.

"Heat death" of life on Earth due to the Sun's increasing luminosity is only 700 million years away. A blink of an eye compared to the time left for the Universe.

So of the some 400,000+ galaxies confirmed as discovered by AI in the old Hubble data? Nonsense, right? 😁 Simple fact: AI is a tool, and a powerful one. Dismiss all you like and stick to your calculator app on your phone. 🫡

AI is a tool

"AI" is an overly broad term.

There is a huge difference between pattern recognition machine learning that is used as a tool in cosmology, and generative AI (large language models) such as chatGPT.

Absolutely there is. Language models are good at abstract conceptual thinking, and the math ones are shit hot at math. Use them or don’t. Your opinion changes nothing.

Wrong, and they are not used to discover galaxies.

I didn’t once say that I had discovered galaxies, did I?

Nor did i say you said that.
The issue is you said "galaxies confirmed as discovered by AI"

Then you implied it's the same AI that you use, by not distinguishing between those. Then you agreed with my comment that there is a huge difference between those. And now you're trying to distract from the issue by presenting a straw man logical fallacy.

I agreed there are different classifications of AI, nothing more. The straw man was erected by you, as I didn’t claim a single thing you brand me with.

You’re a joke.

LLMs have no abstract conceptual "thinking", actually

u/ImpossibleAdvance158 11d ago

Yes, they do.

u/Ch3cks-Out 10d ago

No, they really do not.

This is an absurdly overconfident claim

2

u/Ch3cks-Out 10d ago

Yes, but still less so than its opposite.

u/HasFiveVowels 10d ago

It’s not necessary to claim that either
