Yeah, I use them all the time. I just don't see any good argument that it's anything other than statistical pattern matching plus some sort of logic encoded in language. My overfitted LLM obviously didn't arrive at Harry Potter the same way JK Rowling did, so the amount of time she spent writing it is completely irrelevant to any discussion about whether or not the LLM should be able to reproduce it. discussions of AGI if it took her an hour or a decade to write it, it has seen the result, so it can reproduce it.

I don't think you've addressed the fact that they can do long tasks that aren't in the training set? (And the fact that they're just statistical models isn't very relevant. So am I!)
