Because the pyramids, the theory of general relativity and the Linux kernel are all totally comparable to ChatGPT output. /s

Why is anybody still surprised that the AI bubble made it that big?

    If Einstein came up with relativity by standing on "the religious non-sense and superstitions of the medieval ages," you'd have a point.

      Well, "spooky action at a distance" is something that believing outright at the time, literally required faith - much like the faith required of scientist today, everything comes from nothing for no reason and without cause and as consequence - everything everywhere... Ohhh!!! and like 11 dimensions with maybe infinite universes, too -> oh yeah, and the universe is infinite, maybe.

      They have so many ways of saying "God" without saying God.

      If we have billions of AIs one might pick the correct learning materials. Same way human Einstein did.

        Depends what you mean with "AI". Actual intelligence? Yeah, maybe. LLM? No, they don't actually reason, an activity that Einstein did a lot of and without which coming up with his theory would have been impossible. He didn't just go on a random walk like what LLM temperature is doing.
