AI doesn't have to include noise (e.g., when playing chess) but even if it does why does that matter?
LLMs are horrible at playing chess. Deep Blue and other chess "AIs" are fixed algorithmic programs that have little similarity to what we now know as AI/machine learning, which is based on context/statistics only.
Human activity is much more noisy (unpredictable and thus error prone) than a machine can be.
Human errors are more predictable and they can also be held accountable. A human doing calculus will not suddenly decide that 2*2=8. An LLM can and does.
People are already becoming dependent on and addicted to AI's and a few have turned psychotic. I wouldn't underestimate the ability for things to get worse real fast.
I agree they can get a lot worse, but probably not in the ways that people are predicting.
OK but future AI's probably won't be LLM's, they are just a stepping stone. A good general purpose AI would be unpredictable in some areas and predictable in others (like math). LLM's are already somewhat predictable when they need to be but could be improved.

I wasn't talking about LLM's but AI's in general. There's no requirement for AI's to be stochastic or stochastic in a totally random way.
A good math AI wouldn't decide 2*2=8 either. A human being could mistakenly use an 8 however.
All the hype over AI restructuring the world in the last 5 years is based on LLMs.

I'll wait and see. I assumed that kind of thinking would have made it into AIs already.
