Philosophers critique AI's claims on knowledge and intelligence

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

It questions the claims made by "techbros" regarding AI, suggesting that true knowledge is a personal, contextual process rather than an objective, universally applicable entity. Philosophers like Nietzsche and Marx are invoked to critique the fallacies in AI's perceived intelligence, while Fernando Pessoa's concept of "ser-se" (to be oneself) is presented as a counterpoint to AI's claim of knowing.
