[FRIAM] "I hope I'm wrong. But that text reads like it was generated by an LLM"

[Marcus Daniels]

In the case of LLMs, the use of a computational model is thin:  Very large tensor operations done at relatively low precision.    It could in principle be done with photons and no conventional programming.

My very first professional publication: a two part series in AI Magazine (the first 'journal of record" for AI). 

Part one. "The Computational Metaphor and Artificial Intelligence: A Reflective Examination of a Theoretical Falsework,"  https://ojs.aaai.org/aimagazine/index.php/aimagazine/article/view/885 was a critique of the computational metaphor as foundation for understanding mind; the second, "From Society to Landscape: Alternative Metaphors for Artificial Intelligence," https://ojs.aaai.org/aimagazine/index.php/aimagazine/article/view/896 presented the metaphors behind several competing theories.
