No I meant it more generally. Neural networks dont contain any super complicated math and equations that are difficult to solve, it is a network of simple cells whose inputs are outputs of previous layer of cells and the output is fed to the next layer. Popular example of a cell is Perceptron, which computes a simple linear equation y=Ax+b. The main problem is the size of a network, which can be billions or even trillions of cells in case of chatgpt. But not all cells are always used, based on the input only some cells are active (the same way our brain does not activate cells that learned math when we are asked what is the capital of New York state for example).

So the most computationally difficult part is learning, and then having enough memory to store the whole network into fast memory, the AI doesnt know what you are about to ask it, so the whole network needs to be ready. But once we ask a specific question, like "are cats carnivores?", 99.99...% of cells remain inactive and only those storing information about biology, mammals, cats, food, meat, diets, carnivores, etc. are engaged and produce answer. So extracting the output based on given inputs is much simpler and can be done by personal computers (if our computers had many terabytes/petabytes of RAM and storage, which they dont)

The advanced compression alhorithms reduce the memory required to store the network, but it doesnt really improve performance aside from some minor cache optimizations.

I think it's a bit of both. On one hand, AI chatbots are designed to learn and adapt, so it's not surprising that they sometimes say things that are unexpected or even offensive. On the other hand, it's also important to remember that these chatbots are not sentient beings. They are simply tools that we use to communicate with each other. So, if we don't like what they're saying, we can always just shut them down and start over.

I think the real question is whether or not we should be using these chatbots in the first place. After all, they are not perfect, and they can easily be manipulated by people with malicious intent. So, if we're not careful, we could end up creating a world where AI chatbots are used to spread misinformation and hatred.

That said, I think there is also a lot of potential for good with AI chatbots. They can be used to help people with disabilities, to provide customer service, and to even create art and music. So, if we use them wisely, I think they could be a valuable tool for humanity.

Oh come on, thats the best insult you can come up with? Whats next, a 'yo momma' joke?

It would have been more laughable if you said tried "tell me you are from alberta, without telling me you are from alberta", like some of these other idiot commenters did...

Seriously, the 'holier than thou' bullshit you are trying to pull only works when you can ACTUALLY respond. So, take a few days, do some research on the CBC, on their continued blatant biases, on their bungling management style... Then come back, and post an actual response... Hell, if you think that someone in a shitty business school could respond better, then I challenge you to try to educate me and people like me, instead of defaulting to arrogance and avoidance. Point out what I got wrong, provide correct AND FACTUAL information from reputable sources, and maybe the collective ability of our country goes up?
