    Well, that’s kind of like the human brain isn’t it? You don’t really know how it does its thing but it does it.

      Nope, we actually have entire fields of study that focus on the brain and cognition with thousands of experts and decades of research and experimentation to effectively understand a ton about how our brains work and why we behave the way we do.

      Plus, your brain is not created and owned entirely by trillion dollar megacorps with the primary incentive to use it to increase profitability.

        We also know how “AI” works and how it creates its outputs in the same way we know the brain.

        Don’t try to equate having fields of study and experts is definitive knowledge of something, that’s being fallacious.

          And yet, this AI expert stated that we don’t know why the AI designed the chip in specific ways. There’s a difference between understanding the rough mechanism for something, and understanding why something happened.

          Imagine hiring an engineer to design something, they hand you a finished design; they cannot explain what it is, how they actually designed it, how it works, or why they made the specific choices they did.

          I never made the false equivalency you claimed I did, and you also never addressed my second criticism, which is telling.
