> It makes two characters that look identical to the eye look as two completely different tokens internally in the network. A smiling emoji looks like a weird token, not an... actual smiling face, pixels and all This goes against my limited understanding of how LLMs work — and computers generally for that matter. Isn’t that rendering of a smiling emoji still just a series of bits that need to be interpreted as a smiley face? The similar looking characters point makes more sense to me though assuming it’s something along the lines of recognizing that “S” and “$” are roughly the same thing except for the line down the middle. Still that seems like something that doesn’t come up much and is probably covered by observations made in the training corpus. All that said, Karpathy knows way more than I will ever know on the subject, and I’m only posting my uninformed take here in hopes somebody will correct me in a way I understand. |
