<p>> <i>Models do not (broadly speaking) learn over time. They can be tuned by their operators, or periodically rebuilt with new inputs or feedback from users and experts. Models also do not remember things intrinsically: when a chatbot references something you said an hour ago, it is because the entire chat history is fed to the model at every turn. Longer-term “memory” is achieved by asking the chatbot to summarize a conversation, and dumping that shorter summary into the input of every run.</i><p>This is the part of the article that will age the fastest, it's already out-of-date in labs.</p>

<p>AI is exactly the right term: the machines can do "intelligence", and they do so artificially.<p>Just like we have machines that can do "math", and they do so artificially.<p>Or "logic", and they do so artificially.<p>I assume we'll drop the "artificial" part in my lifetime, since there's nothing truly artificial about it (just like math and logic), since it's really just mechanical.<p>No one cares that transistors can do math or logic, and it shouldn't bother people that transistors can predict next tokens either.</p>
