The fact that something like this is fooling people into perceiving a higher intelligence suggests that maybe AIs actually will overtake human intelligence sooner rather than later.

But this is just a random joke scraped off the web and the subject changed to meerkats.

But it’s important to remember intelligence is not the same thing as consciousness or sentience. I worry about AIs fooling us into believing they’re sentient and all that comes with that, when in fact it’s just clever algorithms.

I don’t feel fooled by it, I work with ML professionally so I have a fairly good idea about how it was created. It’s not scraping jokes and swapping animals. I wrote that I was “surprised” by it, and I am. The model can make linguistical connections between colloquial metaphors and unrelated facts about animals and wrap it up into an (albeit dad-like) holistic framework. It’s really impressive.

Or perhaps, it made the connection between punchline “holds its cards too close to its chest!”, the premise for the joke (not being invited to play poker) and a subject (an animal).

Much like a psychic does, it gave you a vague answer, and you made the connection and attributed intent of actions on its part in your mind.

Further proof is the person who repeated your test with another animal (to whom the posture would absolutely not apply) and it gave the same punchline, just with that animal.

What about the top comment proving all of your theories wrong with the Pelican joke?
