Whiteness is a hell of a drug. Even proximity to whiteness is enough to get people to give up every last principle and "firm belief" they have. Every stance. Every moral. Gone out the window, once you prioritize whiteness over all.

▪️The Massif de Hogar is a mountain range that rises suddenly to the west of Tamanrassete, Algeria. The region has an average height of 900 meters above sea level, the highest point is Mount Tahat, in the center of Atakor. It culminates at 3,003 meters high, and is also the highest peak in Algeria. The Hogar massif is essentially made up of volcanic rocks and constitutes a vast rocky region within the Sahara desert.

▪️The Hoggar Mountains are home to the Ahaggar National Park, one of the country's national parks. ▪️The Hoggar mountain range typically has hot summers, with a cold climate in winter. Temperatures drop below freezing in winter. Precipitation is rare and sporadic throughout the year. However, because the climate is less extreme than in most other areas of the Sahara, the mountains are an important location for biodiversity, including a number of relict species. The Hoggar Mountains are part of the Western Sahara montane xeric forests ecoregion.

▪️The park also contains a population of herbivores, such as the Saharan subspecies of the Berber sheep and the Dorcas gazelle.

The vegetation in this area includes trees such as Vachellia tortilis, Vachellia seyal, myrtle and Tamarix aphylla which are spread throughout the area. Other plants may include Citrullus colocynthis and Calotropis procera .

▪️The Hogar massif is the land of the Imuagues, a tribe of the Tuareg people. The oasis of Abalassa near the town of Tamanrassete is the site of the tomb of the famous leader Tin Hinan, the matriarch believed to have been the ancestor of the Tuareg people in the Hogar Mountains.

Wir haben und hatten noch nie einen wirklich guten Begriff dafür, wie man Intelligenz definiert.

Deshalb hat sich vermutlich der Begriff KI im Deutschen so schnell etabliert, obwohl es eine miserable Übersetzung von dem englischen Begriff AI ist.

LLMs können per Konstruktion nicht intelligent sein, außer wir definieren Intelligenz extrem anspruchslos.

Aber was LLMs auf gar keinen Fall sein können, ist kreativ.

Es gibt also auch keine KK (Künstliche Kreativität).

Was LLMs aber vermutlich sehr schnell hinbekommen werden, ist die Abschaffung der Kreativität, weil sie sich nicht mehr lohnen wird.

Die Qualität der Texte und Bilder von LLMs ist zwar mittelmäßig bis beschissen, aber sie können diese Inhalte sehr günstig produzieren (zumindest wenn sie einmal für mit sehr, sehr viel Geld trainiert wurden).

Am Ende stehen also diese beschissenen Texte in Konkurrenz, zu den oft auch nur noch mittelmäßigen Texten der Menschen, die damit Geld verdienen wollen.

Und jetzt ratet mal, was sich da auf Dauer durchsetzen wird?

Aber der Begriff KI wird auch ganz allgemein in der Presse verwendet, ohne dass er eingeordnet wird.

Das sehe ich das Problem, denn die meisten Menschen, die das lesen, haben keine Ahnung von Informatik.

Absolut!

Ich verwende ihn ja auch mit Bedacht nicht, wenn es um diese statistischen Text- und Bilderzeuger geht.

Ich habe mich nur an der Aussage "miserable Übersetzung" gestoßen, weil in der englischsprachigen Welt keineswegs weniger Begriffsverwirrung (und Unkenntnis) herrscht.
