Brilliant! I've been thinking about writing a post on the definitions of 'Artificial' and 'Intelligence' for some time (including having a similar conversation with AI itself), and am delighted to find yours.
Mimematon! What a brilliant word. This is what we must start to call it.
From my perspective as a linguist, one of the biggest dangers of AI lies in the confusion of language. We use anthropomorphic labels for machine generated activities and phenomena and declare it as 'superhuman', when the machine has been programmed and 'trained' to excel at a particular task – e.g. chess.
We (or some people) claim that AI can 'learn from experience', while the machine can, strictly speaking, neither 'learn' nor go through 'experience' in the human sense. I am wondering what term ChatGTP might suggest to rename the activity of 'learning' and the phenomenon of 'experience' in relation to AI.
Well, when I read your text here, I get a bit confused, not because of you though, it is more that we probably, as you suggests between the lines, must try to define also what “learning” means before we can talk about what machine-learning is or is not. Better ask someone who knows the answer. :-)
Yes, both words 'learning' and 'experience' are used in the context of AI all the time, implying that they mean the same or equivalent as human learning (which they don't). Nobody ever (as far as I have seen) defines what exactly they mean by 'learning' or 'experience', tacitly implying that the machine does, or is capable of doing, the same as a living human.
"Experience in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the process by which AI systems learn and improve their performance over time by interacting with data, environments, or users. This concept is fundamentally different from human experience, which involves consciousness, emotions, and subjective interpretation...."

Thank you so much for this!! 💙 🙏

I asked AI and this is the answer I received:

P.S. I'd written this comment yesterday just before the blackout in Portugal...
