AI tools utilize statistical patterns in over 12,000 dimensions to predict behavior, without leveraging human-like reasoning or understanding. The models navigate an abstract mathematical space, which creates discrepancies between AI performance and human cognition. This leads to an unsettling realization that AI does not think or feel in the way humans do. Despite outperforming humans in tasks, AI remains fundamentally distinct from human intelligence, challenging traditional concepts of cognition and trust in such systems. The phenomenon is referred to as an alien substrate, symbolizing a cognitive process that diverges from human experience.
AI operates in embedding spaces with over 12,000 dimensions, utilizing statistical patterns rather than human reasoning to navigate an invisible geometric terrain.
These models represent a kind of mathematical terrain that does not correspond with human experiences of thought, challenging our understanding of cognition.
Despite outperforming humans in many tasks, AI lacks true understanding, opening up questions about trust in cognitive processes and the nature of intelligence.
AI cannot be anthropomorphized successfully; it reflects a kind of alien substrate, showing a cognitive process distinct from human-like intelligence.
