>How functional does the code have to be before it's no longer a hallucination?

IDK, I haven't tried copilot, but does the code it generates work on the first try with no human intervention?

>What if we are all not much more than only drawing "on the (admittedly vast) proportion of [our experiences] ingested at training time?

ugh, this argument again. Despite the machine learning community using words such as "training" and "learning" to describe the way they tune parameters, it has never been proven that any existing AI resembles human cognition. This is something that needs to be demonstrated empirically.



> does the code it generates work on the first try with no human intervention?

Sometimes, it certainly does. Does your code always work on the first try with no intervention?


Not always on the first time, but when there's a problem I don't need somebody else to intervene and make it work for me.


I've seen at least one demonstration where the user re-fed problematic generated text into chat-GPT and successfully asked it to find the problem.


I'm sorry, who did you say re-fed problematic generated text into chat-GPT and successfully asked it to find the problem?
