    That there is an American Kestrel. According to Wikipedia…

    … it is not actually a kestrel in the phylogenetic sense. Instead, a process of convergent evolution to fit a similar small prey niche in the ecosystem as the true kestrels have left it with similar physical characteristics and hunting methods.



  • The problem I have with your description is that it abdicates responsibility for what eventually gets generated with a big shrug and “we don’t fully understand why”.

    The choice of training data is key to how the final model operates. All sorts of depraved material must be being used as part of the training set, otherwise the model wouldn’t be able to generate the text it does (even if it’s being coached).

    It’s clear the “AI race” is all about who gets the power of owning, and therefore influencing, everybody’s information stream. If they couldn’t influence it, there wouldn’t be such a race.
