Software can’t tell truth from lies because software doesn’t even know what those are. It doesn’t know anything. It’s a parrot, a magic trick, a mirror to fool people (people like George Lucus) into thinking there’s another person looking a back at them.
As opposed to your comment moving the goalposts from an AI doing something humans can’t, to them just being better than humans (which is absolutely arguable in most cases)?
I was responding to the claim that ai’s can’t do anything better than the thing that trained them. It’s completely relevant and not a goalpost shift. They can do plenty of things that humans can’t feasibly do, such as protein folding prediction.
When I was in college I built a chess playing program that I couldn’t beat. It wasn’t very good, but it was much better than me. The trick is machine learning: teach it the rules, get it to play millions of games against itself and adjust its strategy after each game.
The AI can become better at a learnable skill than those who trained it because the AI can spend zillions of hours practicing

How could that even be true since it was humans thay trained ai. What a dumb statement ahh
Ai can do plenty of classification tasks better than humans though. It’s not like every entity that trains another is fundamentally smarter.

Regardless many ai classifiers outperform humans at classifying. Your comment seems irrelevant to the discussion.

Your brain is also software

Yes but thats not whats happening here. The base is created by using human data.
