| Ok, since you called out the gp comment as 'deceptive', I in turn am going to call out your comment (and others like it) as delusional, and point to specific places in your comment that exhibit this state of delusion (about LLMs). > they understand and speak languages fine No, they neither 'understand' nor 'speak' languages. The first word here is the more delusional, they have no understanding of languages. They have simply generated a model of the language. And they do not 'speak' the language they have modeled; they generate text in that language. Speaking generally implies an active intelligence; there is no intelligence behind an LLM. There is simply a machine generating (wholly derivative) output text from input text. > We may as well say that when we speak, we are just predicting words we have trained on This is the delusion, commonly being repeated, that humans themselves are only LLMs. This is a dangerous delusion, in my view, and one that has no evidence behind it. It is only a supposition, and a sterile and nihilistic one in my view. > The general knowledge and thinking of these models are surely limited [...] I think it is very possible to break the barriers very soon The limitations are fundamental to LLMs. LLMs have no general knowledge and LLMs don't do any 'thinking'. Your understanding of what they are doing is in grave error, and that error is based on a personification of the machine. An error coming from the delusion that because they generate 'natural' language they are operating similarly to us (false and addressed above). They are never going to break the limits because they have never started to transcend those limits in the first place, nor can they. They don't and will never 'think' or 'reason'. |
