Yeah no shit, AI doesn't think. Context doesn't exist for it. It doesn't even understand the meanings of individual words at all, none of them.

Each word or phrase is a numerical token in an order that approximates sample data. Everything is a statistic to AI, it does nothing but sort meaningless interchangeable tokens.

People cannot "converse" with AI and should immediately stop trying.

We don't think either. We're just a chemical soup that tricked ourselves to believe we think.

Machines and algorithms don’t have emergent properties, organic things like us do.

The current AI chats are emergent properties. The very fact that I looks like it's talking with us despite being just probabilistic models of a neural network is an emergent effect. The neural network is just a bunch of numbers.

There are emergent properties all the way down to the quantum level, being "organic" has nothing to do with it.

You’re correct, but that wasn’t the conversation. I didn’t say only organic, and I said machines and algorithms don’t. You chimed in just to get that “I’m right” high, and you are the problem with internet interactions.

There is really no fundamental difference between an organsim or a sufficently complicated machine and there is no reason why the later shouldn't have the possibilty of emergent properties.

and you are the problem with internet interactions.

Defensive much? Looks you're the one with the problem.
