Except AIs are able to have political opinions and have a clear liberal bias. They are also capable of showing moral positions when asked about things like people using AI to cheat and about academic integrity.

Yes, because they have been trained that way. Try arguing them out of these positions, they'll eventually just short circuit and admit they're a large language model incapable of holding such opinions, or they'll start repeating themselves because they lack the ability to re-evaluate their fundamental values based on new information.

Current LLMs only learn from the data they've been trained on. All of their knowledge is fixed and immutable. Unlike actual humans, they cannot change their minds based on the conversations they have. Also, unless you provide the context of your previous conversations, they do not remember you either, and they have no ability to love or hate you (or really have any feelings whatsoever).

Also you haven't met enough autistic people. We aren't all like that.

I apologize, I did not mean to offend any actual autistic people with that. It's more like a caricature of what people who never met anyone with autism think autistic people are like because they've watched Rain Man once.

The problem is if you earn that money doing something you hate, you'll very often find that no amount of money is enough to compensate for your loss of happiness. The trick is finding a way to earn enough money not to have to worry while doing something you enjoy (or at least can tolerate) doing.

I like how it calls the captcha an "IQ test".

Like if you steal out of necessity, and get caught once, you then just starve?

I mean... you could try getting on food stamps or whatever sort of government assistance is available in your country for this purpose?

In pretty much all civilized western countries, you don't HAVE to resort to becoming a criminal simply to get enough food to survive. It's really more of a sign of antisocial behavior, i.e. a complete rejection of the system combined with a desire to actively cause harm to it.

Or it could be a pride issue, i.e. people not wanting to admit to themselves that they are incapable of taking care of themselves on their own and having to go to a government office in order to "beg" for help (or panhandle outside the supermarket instead).

Schools are literal concentration camps if you ask me.

Imagine how many ranches had to die in order to make ranch dressing.

But what does it mean to behave intelligently? Cleary it's not enough to simply have the ability to string together coherent sentences, regardless of complexity, because I'd say the current crop of LLMs has solved that one quite well. Yet their behavior clearly isn't all that intelligent, because they will often either misinterpret the question or even make up complete nonsense. And perhaps that's still good enough in order to fool over half of the population, which might be good enough to prove "intelligence" in a statistical sense, but all you gotta do is try to have a conversation that involves feelings or requires coming up with a genuine insight in order to see that you're just talking to a machine after all.

Basically, current LLMs kinda feel like you're talking to an intelligent but extremely autistic human being that is incapable or afraid to take any sort of moral or emotional position at all.
