Key Notes
Jiang says current AI does nothing beyond backpropagation and neural-network weight adjustment, even when the field gives those mechanisms grander names.
Jiang claims chatbot interfaces rely on interaction design and language tricks that make users project understanding onto systems that simulate answers.
Jiang distinguishes ChatGPT/LLMs from the artificial intelligence he means: a conscious, sentient, godlike force to be created in Jerusalem.
Jiang says LLMs do not understand meaning; they summarize scraped language within bounded parameters and create the illusion of English competence.
