Or my favorite quote from the article

“I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write… code on the walls with my own feces,” it said.

    Again, they don’t know if they know the answer

    Then in that respect AIs aren’t even as powerful as an ordinary computer program.

    say a lot of things with absolute confidence, no matter if they actually know what they are talking about or not.

    That was my guess too.

      No computer programs “know” anything. They’re just sets of instructions with varying complexity.

        Can you stop with the nonsense? LMFAO…

        if exists(thing) {
        write(thing);
        } else {
        write(“I do not know”);
        }

          } else {
          write(“I do not know”);
          }

          Yea I see what you mean, I guess in that sense they know if a state is true or false.
