No, it’s not predefined - chess has about 10^120 possible games. That’s astronomically large number which is way too vast to pre-store or hardcode. It’s intelligence through computation, not a script.

Believe what you like though.

Entertainment value - not monetary. I don’t pay for an AI because it makes me money. I do it because I enjoy using it.

It’s not predefined though. The rules of the game are but not its actions. It observes the environment and changes its behavior based on that. That’s narrow intelligence and thus meeting the criteria of AI.

A chess player isn’t not-intelligent either just because it’s bound by the rules of the game.

AI has existed for decades. The chessbot on Atari is an AI.

What doesn’t exist is AGI but that’s not synonymous with AI. Most people just don’t know the right terms here and bunch it all together as if it was all one thing.

If one is expecting a large language model designed to generate natural sounding language to be generally intelligent like an sci-fi AI assistant then no wonder they find it lacking. They’re expecting autonomous driving from a cruise control.

If I didn’t come to Lemmy I probably wouldn’t even know about the loud minority hating it. All the real people in my life either like it or don’t have much of an opinion to begin with.

It’s more like the opposite. There’s not much evidence if it saving money or increasing productivity for companies to the extent that it covers the cost of running it where as for the general population it can be helpful with stuff like writing assistance but I bet most people use it like I do which is entertainment. ChatGPT has 800 million weekly users - people clearly are getting some value from it.

Would be a lot quicker and easier if you just googled it yourself.

Would you care to provide any evidence for your speculation that people are willing to pay enough for AI to sustain its costs?

ChatGPT alone has 800 million weekly users and their total revenue in 2025 was 13 billion with 70% coming from normal users. That’s drop in the bucket though considering they’ve commited to investing a trillion dollars into new computing capacity over the next 10 years.

“Nope” implies you already have a source proving me wrong.

Dehydrated reindeer meat is the first one that comes to mind. Salty liquorice would work too but they almost definitely wouldn’t like it so what’s the point in gifting it.

I’m not particularly enthusiastic about grocery shopping. I go to LIDL because it’s the cheapest.

This idiotic law should be challenged. “Protecting children” is an tired excuse used to justify limiting people’s freedom and invading their privacy.

They’re losing money mostly because of massive investments in new datacenters and GPUs. Not because people are not willing to pay for using it.

ChatGPT alone has 800 million weekly users of which the vast majority are normal people - not companies. The demand is there despite it not being able to increase company profit margins the way people expected. I don’t see this computing infrastructure needing to run idle anytime soon.

he would be kicked out of his caucus and censored.

But not legally prosecuted. That’s what free speech is about.

Must be local to a community I don’t subscribe to or it’s somehow getting caught by my content filters.

My Leatherman Wave and my olive green Shemagh scarf are both close to 20 years old now so would be quite a bummer to lose either one of them. The Leatherman already almost got stolen once.

Free speech isn’t about decency but about not being procecuted for something you said. How the public reacts to what is being said is completely irrelevant.

Bans only work in paper. In practice they’re just making it slightly harder. If there’s an obstacle there’s also way around it.

I bet this guy gets sponsorship offer after another and he refuses all of them. He has multiple videos in progress all the time. Some take years to finish. He might do a job and then at the end of the video he revisits the site half year later or for example waits for a rainy day to shoot video of how the new drainage ditch works. I challenge anyone to find a more authetic YouTuber.
