Yejin Choi: Why AI is incredibly smart and shockingly stupid · 16:07 · Video: TED · Watch at the source

In short: Computer scientist Yejin Choi explores the paradox of large language models, examining why systems like ChatGPT can master complex tasks yet fail at basic human common sense.

In this talk, Yejin Choi demystifies the current state of massive artificial intelligence. She identifies three fundamental problems facing cutting-edge large language models and highlights instances where these systems fail at simple reasoning.

Choi suggests we are entering an era where AI functions much like a new intellectual species. To navigate this, she argues for the development of smaller AI systems specifically trained to align with human values and norms.
