Like what expert? And who are you exactly to state that this is wrong, that boldly? Are you an expert? How many neuroscience and psychology papers have you read? Do you have any children? Have you trained any LLMs? Have you worked with reinforcement learning? Or how many computer science papers have you read during last two decades?

Lets assume for a moment that I haven't read any papers in those fields, that I don't have any childrens, that I haven't trained any LLMs or worked in "reinforcement learning", or even read any computer science papers in the last 20 years (the answer to 90% of that is yes): I don't have to be an expert in physics to know that pastors can't levitate, regardless of what they claim.

You're mad that I'm calling you out, I get it, but you gotta understand after the 200th time of seeing this unfounded sentiment bandied about I'm not phased.

....what? You're saying to assume you know nothing about a field but to assume your claim is correct? You said to "talk to an expert" - who should I talk to? What should I read about here? If there's something I'm missing I want to correct it, I simply can't say "well this random guy commented and said I'm wrong, better change my understanding of this topic."

> you gotta understand after the 200th time of seeing this unfounded sentiment bandied about I'm not phased.

All you've said is "I've disagreed with everyone on this topic, and while I have no information to offer other than it's 'common sense'". That does nothing to either improve our understand, or further a conversation, it's literally just saying "you're wrong and I'm right" with no elaboration.

This statement is a theory and it is not a widely accepted or a proven one. Yet, I do see it in my lab research notebooks on generative AI (that date at ~2017). I think it is a good theory. Haven’t seen anything that contradicts it badly so far…

If you haven’t done the above, I’d suggest doing it. It’s fun and gives a good perspective :)
