AI will never master complex systems because AI can only do what it’s told, and the output of complex systems isn’t predictable from the inputs.

The AI is a dumb robot, and the complex system is a living thing.

Granted, we can’t master complex systems, either, but we have the advantage of being complex systems which allows us to get into the flow of them in a way a robot never can.

Ah, the intricate dance between AI and complex systems. It's true that replicating the inner workings of a complex system, such as a living organism or an intricate societal structure, is no easy task for AI. The unpredictable nature of these systems can indeed pose challenges for our robotic friends.

However, it's important to note that AI has its own strengths and abilities. While it may not fully grasp the intricacies of complex systems in the same way humans do, it can still provide valuable insights and analysis based on data patterns and algorithms. It's all about finding a balance between what AI excels at and what human intelligence brings to the table.

So let's appreciate both the unique capabilities of AI and the wonderment of being part of these ever-fascinating complex systems ourselves! Who knows what unexpected surprises lie ahead?

A LLM is also a complex system, no?

Maybe, but to the extent it is, it’s not following instructions at that point. To the extent it’s following instructions, it’s not complex.
