The way we do it is not the same way they do it. They literally only predict the next probable tokens. The way they do it is amazing, and the fact that they can do it as well as they do is amazing, but human thinking is a lot more nuanced than just predicting.

The fact that AI seems to be so reasoned is not that they are doing reasoning, but because there is a phenomenal amount of reasoning inherently embedded in their training data.

AI actually thinks in the same way that the figures on a movie screen actually move. It's a trick, and the difference may be pedantic, but it's very important in order to have a real discussion about the ramifications of it.

As far as I know we don't know how we do it. We have very little clue how our higher level behaviours emerge. So you can't claim we don't do it the same way.

Of course I can, humans learn faster from far less data and don't hallucinate to the same extent. What they do is very likely similar to a part of what we do, but they're missing critical components and my feeling is not all of them (empathy and creativity for example) are even possible to replicate outside of a human experience.

You are extrapolating from a result to the implementation and making a judgment call it's thus not the same. That is not valid to do. You can come up with countless examples of the same tech underlying principle beeing used but the results are dramatically better now. Lithography for example.

You could also look at a koala and make the argument they function totally differently from us since they almost can't learn anything and are extremely stupid.

[codr7]

I would definitely make the argument that Koalas function differently from us, also from observation, which is a perfectly fine thing to do.

You're so wound up in your theories that you're not making much sense to me.

We learn our behaviours by immitating others.

You can clearly see behaviourol pattern in people and in their parents.

For example the boy who brushes his teeth the same way his father does.

I'm really lost on what you think your brain is doing? Have you never thought through things but acted differently? Like procrastination? Spouting out something and thinking after "ah man i should have just done x instead of y'?
