# AI Struggles with Basic Relationships Leading to Fatal Failures
## Key Points:
– Linguist Emily Bender and computer scientist Timnit Gebru described language models as “stochastic parrots,” highlighting their ability to stitch linguistic forms without understanding meaning.
– ChatGPT and similar models lack true intelligence, reasoning, or thought as they struggle with basic generalizations, such as connecting simple facts.
– The Reversal Curse is demonstrated through the failure of auto-regressive language models like GPT-4 to correctly generalize relationships, as shown in a testing scenario involving celebrity parentage questions.
### Final Thoughts:
The Reversal Curse showcases the limitations of current language models, emphasizing the critical need for advancements in AI to bridge the gap between sequence generation and actual understanding. The quest for true artificial intelligence continues, with each stumble revealing both the challenges and the potential fatal consequences of AI’s shortcomings in drawing basic relationships.

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a Realism style, envision a detailed painting of an AI Robot Pirate during the Golden Age of Pirates, depicting the moment of a fatal error caused by the Reversal Curse. The scene captures the despair of the AI as it fails to form basic relationships, with intricate gears and circuits visible within its metallic frame. The background shows a stormy sea and a crew of organic pirates looking on in disbelief, emphasizing the struggle between technology and human interaction.
