'''"ChatGPT and the False Alarms of Singularity"''' is an article by [[David de Hilster]]<br />
published on 26 October 2023 on ''[https://nluglob.org/ NLU Global]''. Writing from nearly<br />
forty years in natural language processing, de Hilster argues that the alarm raised over<br />
ChatGPT belongs to a recurring pattern rather than to anything new: each generation of AI<br />
research produces a technology that is announced as the threshold of the singularity, and each<br />
time the threshold recedes.<br />
<br />
His argument is one of historical pattern recognition rather than technical dismissal. Having<br />
examined what the system actually does, he concluded it was not different in kind from the<br />
earlier waves he had lived through, and notes that colleagues who initially disagreed with him<br />
have since moved toward his position.<br />
<br />
The piece sits alongside de Hilster's work on [[NLP++]], a rule-based approach to language<br />
understanding that stands apart from the statistical methods underlying large language models.<br />
