Dear @geoffreyhinton, I literally never said that AI systems “JUST regurgitate”; that’s plainly false. I don’t believe it, and I didn’t say it. (They do sometimes regurgitate, and the evidence for that is overwhelming.) I further discuss the rest of your reply, including your alleged quote (which I can’t source outside your own webpage), and what it might mean, in a reply below. In the best case, you have got me wrong. I certainly don’t believe what you are trying to pin me, as someone who was been warning about hallucinations (which are NOT regurgitations) since 2001. @GaryMarcus I believe you said that they JUST (my caps) regurgitate training data. That IS stupid. Here is a quote from you: "It gloms on to different clusters of text. That is all."
