    I mean, nitpick, but if you blamed mathematics you actually would be. The observation that AI/LLMs are highly unreliable and don’t appear to be getting any better is purely empirical, since we don’t actually know how they work.

            And that paper’s name? Albert Einstein. I can’t find anything on Weizenbaum and Turing authoring together. Weizenbaum seems to have written mostly prose and code, even - he’s not really thought of for his mathematical innovations, although obviously math was his original field.

            Back in the 50’s people thought conventional algorithms, like everybody here knows, were going to reach human intellegence. They could play chess, and chess is smart guy stuff, so obviously recognising a bird should be easy, right? Well, they figured out that wasn’t right, and so began the first AI winter.

            The tech of deep neural nets is in fact fairly new. Like, arguably it didn’t become a thing until the Cold War was ending, although there were a lot of precursors, and it kind of arrived gradually.
