It’s really good at making us feel like it’s intelligent, but that’s no more real than a good VR headset convincing us to walk into a physical wall.

It’s a meta version of VR.

(Meta meta, if you will.)

    In Mass Effect, it’s VI (Virtual Intelligence), while actual AI is banned in the galaxy.

    The information kiosk VIs on The Citadel are literally LLMs and explain themselves as such. Unlike AI/AGI they aren’t able to plan, make decisions, or self-improve, they’re just a simple protocol on a large foundational model. They just algorithmic.

    Simulated Intelligence is okay, but virtual implies it mimics intelligence, while simulated implies it is a substitute and actually does intelligence.

      AI is a parent category and AGI and LLM are subcategories of it. Just because AGI and LLM couldn’t be more different, it doesn’t mean they’re not AI.

        I don’t at all agree with this graph, and I think you’re sort of missing the point of the original post.

          Yeah this graph doesn’t make sense to me either. Where did this come from? Who is teaching this?

      Yes! When I started looking deeper into LLMs after GPT blew up, I thought “this all sounds familiar.”
