Ever wondered how artificial intelligence really works beneath the hype? Behind every AI breakthrough lies a deceptively simple idea waiting to be understood. Follow Ashlock Holmes through conversations with Dr. Clodson as they ponder and decode the mysteries of machine intelligence, one dialogue at a time.
In this inaugural case, Holmes claims to have revolutionized computing by teaching machines to speak like humans - but as the blue parrot perched between detective and doctor reminds us, mimicking speech and true understanding may be very different things.
Can machines that essentially "guess" their way through conversations truly be called intelligent? As Holmes explains his theory of probabilistic thinking to the increasingly puzzled Dr. Clodson, one question looms: when artificial minds learn to chatter so convincingly, are they thinking... or just parroting? The answer may surprise you.
Based on Conc 01 - Are Language Models Just Parrots?
Dialogue conceived and designed by Ash Stuart in collaboration with Claude (4 Sonnet).
