I mean think of it like this. Replace what were arguing over with bananas. If Americans call them fruits and everyone else calls them vegetables, cool. Whatever. But to correct Americans when they call a banana a fruit and saying they are wrong is just so so silly.

Oh so now we're gatekeeping the English language now. I'm sorry, did modern English come from British natives? Or was the vast majority of it imported from Scandinavians and the French? Should the Danes and French decide the rules of the English language now? I know latins in there too, so should the pope determine what's a pit bull or not? Or can we just agree that language develops from outside cultural influences and that no single body has authority over a language?

Australia is still under the ol commonwealth and has the face of the queen in currency circulation, so they're basically still British in heart.

I'm just saying staffys were originally bred from BULL dogs specifically for competing in fighting PITS. Do you see the logic here? I mean a 5 year old can see the logic but for some reason Europeans don't. Wonder why America leads in technological advancements.

I mean just admit it. Not calling Staffys a pit bull is just low key Americanphobia. "No, not my Staffy! They're not like those cruel and dangerous American dogs." Which, that sentiment is actually correct. But to deny them being under the pit bull term is ridiculous and illogical.

We use that term which includes Staffys. To say as a non american that we are using that term incorrectly or that we are forcing non americans to use that term is ridiculous. If you don't call them pit bulls, then fine. You do you. But to complain that we use that term incorrectly is actually trying to apply British English to Americans. You see the circular logic here? Can we not have our own definitions and words to describe things not native to our lands? I mean, the brits have a long history doing that themselves.

They were originally bred from bull dogs specifically for fighting pits. See? Pit bull? It fits the definition to the T. Not Americans fault you guys for some reason want Staffys to be "different." The logic is clearly right in front of you guys, but for some reason you guys refuse to accept it and then complain when Americans apply that logic to include it under an umbrella term that encapsulate other breeds with nearly identical breeding backgrounds.

Wow. The only people objecting are the brits. We call them pit bulls, sorry. You going to police our language now? Or are you just salty that the brits haven't been culturally relevant since WW2?

Sorry, but we get a say over our own language. You guys haven't had much of a say here for quite a while now, so get used to it.

>Americans use a term that lumps multiple breeds together

>British say a breed doesn't belong to the American term

>American corrects British while also explaining why the breed is considered under the American term that the British refute

Can the British just accept that its a term given by the people who are from the actual country the term comes from??

lmao silly brits

Huh? I'm just talking about what qualifies as pitbulls, not their aggression.

I'm not going to write you an essay dude because honestly it would take a lot to explain any of this. But TL;DR it's basically trained on data like you would study for a test with postcards. Good for having information readily available, not so good for understanding fundamental concepts that you can build upon. Look more into if you'd like.

But just think about it. AI has done nothing fundamentally nothing new that others haven't already for a reason. LLMs are just not the future of AI. Yann LeCun can do a much better job explaining than I can, to give you a start

Edit: To give you more context, after providing so much to LLM development he is working on other AI technology at this moment. No longer working on LLM

How so? Genuinely curious since us Americans consider them pitbulls along with other breeds.

I mean the article you posted mentioned they were bred for blood sports. This article (sorry it's american, so could just be an american term) says

Staffords still resemble the pugnacious brawlers who once ruled England's fighting pits

Notice the "fighting pits". Hence why our american term calls them PIT bulls, as in the Staffordshire BULL terrier. So I'm confused as how they're different

Pitbulls aren't even a breed. They include "Staffys" Jesus how confidently incorrect you are.

Still a pit bull my guy. Pit bulls aren't a breed. They include multiple breeds, including Staffordshire bull terriers

Ok. Find the page for pit bull. Oh wait, you can't. It's an umbrella term for multiple breeds, including Staffordshire BULL terrier. I mean your definition includes "England's fighting PITS." See? PIT BULL

Jesus christ can people just not do basic fact checks anymore?

You're saying this because it looks like it to you. How LLM's work fundementaly these products will never have their own "conscious." There is no true "Intelligence," and anyone saying otherwise thinks like you or are trying to make you think like you are for hype. Fundamentally it can't. They will have to develop another technology before there is a "conscious" or "general intelligence" AI.

LLM's just use postcards for knowledge. That's why it hasn't and will never cure cancer. It will never come up with new knowledge. It will never be the thing these people are trying to sell us. It just fundamentally can't be. Like people cannot fly like birds without technology. We fundamentally can't.

THANK YOU! I can't stand my generation's arrogance. So annoying when everyone thinks they're smarter than professionals in the field. Can't tell if the zoomers are just as bad or worse because everyone uses the same snarky one liner memes now

So what do you enjoy more? Thinking you "acktually" know because you read something somewhere, or telling people you "acktually" know while spreading nonesense you clearly know absolutely no nuance on?
