Yeah, as expected, an article about AI that's at the very least been polished using AI. For fucks sake we need an LLM flag to filter out slop.

Aka - it’s a stochastic parrot with a good memory, for anyone still struggling to understand this. It should be obvious, imo, but some people seem to have trouble with the concept.

Consciousness and self awareness should have been created by now if the memory and nodes pool had exceeded the human brain, right?

Most mathematicians are quite simple creatures. I can do basic math, some derivations, but my bright days of solving differential equations are far gone!

Computers are simply better at math now, like in chess or go!
