Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Sentient = prob a trick
Intelligent? Maybe a broken clock is right twice a day?
You write a sentence that don’t sound too good. You pretty much know how an author you respect would write it, but can’t remember the syntax & word choice exactly. You ask a model for a dozen revisions of the sentence in disparate styles. One of them clicks: “ooh! That’s what I mean!”
Am I being pedantic to say the LLM can feel intelligent when it nails the exact word choice you were looking for, better than half your social circle could’ve written it? Half your friends aren’t dumb, but the LLM can sometimes sound better than them, so you think: “yeah sounds intelligent!”
Of course…
Later it totally misunderstands some context, needs unbelievable hand-holding and still doesn’t get it, confabulates moronically… and it’s back to stupid! Mmmm glue pizza
