Synopsis
Large Language Models (LLMs), like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's LaMDA, are not only the most disruptive and controversial technologies of our time, but also offer an unprecedented opportunity to examine human cognition and philosophically question the very nature of language, communication, and intelligence. What is consciousness? What is language? Are LLMs authors? Are LLMs the end of writing as we know it? In Communicative AI , Mark Coeckelbergh and David J. Gunkel offer a critical introduction to LLMs, investigating the philosophical significance of this technology and its practical ramifications. Mobilizing resources from contemporary philosophy, history of ideas, linguistics, and communication theory, the book invites us to re-think some long-standing philosophical issues concerning language, consciousness, truth, authorship, and writing. Through a blend of theoretical analysis, accessible explanations, and practical examples, the book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the role that this powerful new technology is already playing in our lives. This is a must-read for students and scholars across the humanities and the social sciences, as well as for anyone intrigued by the intersection of technology, language, and human thought., Large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's LaMDA, not only are the most disruptive and controversial technologies of our time but also offer an unprecedented opportunity to examine human cognition and to question philosophically the very nature of language, communication, and intelligence.

- 3***p (92)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.New Model Army Original Album Series (CD) Album (#297384568493)

- n***1 (87)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived still wrapped as advertised but it must have taken some damage in transit since it arrived with a couple cracks and a small chunk of the frame of the case had completely detached. BUT the discs were still undamaged so I messaged the seller to tell them I was still going to keep the item I just wanted to let them know about the issue and they messaged me back and offered me 20% off the order to make up for the inconvenience. Great seller. Would purchase from them again.Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 6 (DVD) Star Trek Next Generation (#297401993046)
