@micdan5boringtoots@mstdn.social @guyjantic@infosec.exchange there is more to it than that. The creation of new knowledge by humans is a process of discovery, or synergy from older knowledge. AI cannot really discover things in the physical world because it doesn't have the senses to do so, but it is very good at synergy of knowledge and is getting better all the time

@selzero@syzito.xyz @micdan5boringtoots@mstdn.social Yes. I used a very rough shorthand to get my point across. While I understand the points being made by people saying AI can't generate knowledge because it just remixes past knowledge, I don't personally think that's the limiting factor. I think, as you say, the real issue with that phrase is who or what is doing the generating. If there's no who, then there's no knowledge generated.
