Besides that I don't think that the prediction thing is a bad thing, there should be an argument that depending on the architecture there can be a self discovery of rules though compression.

The compression leads to rules which could feel like understanding.

People say 'ah it's just a parrot repeating statically most common words' like this alone makes it unimpressive, which it doesn't. Not when an LLM responds to you like it does

If that basic thing talks like a human, why would be a human be something different?

Intelligence isn't that also correlated with speed of connections? At least when you do an IQ test, speed is factored in.

Because properly intelligent humans actually think instead of being thinking simulators, as is apparent from the quality of the LLM outputs.

"What could possibly go wrong".

And you have any argument at all?

After all the output of these LLMs is often significant better than what a lot of humans are capable

> And you have any argument at all?

To state what exactly?

> than what a lot of humans are capable

And what is that supposed to imply?

I suggest you read the exchange with member A_D_E_P_T just parallel, there are reasons to think it contains the requested replies.
