Writing Slowly

My name’s Richard. I live in Sydney, on the traditional land of Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. Here I write about writing and reading (and what I do when I'm not writing or reading). I'm writing slowly but may at some point speed up. Connect with me on micro.blog or at Mastodon @aus.social@writingslowly. On Reddit, I'm @atomicnotes.

💬 “How convincing does the illusion of understanding have to be before you stop calling it an illusion?”

That’s the question James Somers asks in The New Yorker.

My answer: Fail to see the illusion and you’ll fail to understand AI. Jules Verne could have told us AI is not a person

The case that AI is thinking | New Yorker. No, it isn’t.

Two men are observing a holographic ghostly figure of a woman in a Victorian-era room.
