It was edited. Original talked about the model learning. Glad they managed to clarify. Because the models are quite literally stupid.

> the models are quite literally stupid.

You’re arguing via reductionism, and failing to explain the outcomes and emergent properties of the “stupid” system. Humans are made of atoms that are quite literally stupid, so by all means, explain our intelligence and why it’s different than LLMs. (I’m not claiming LLMs are intelligent, BTW, I just don’t think your claim helps nor believe that you can fix it.)

Seriously? Supid is literally incapable of learning. That is the underlying model. It does not change, therefore it does not learn. LLM models are quite literally stupid. No one gets a new model no matter how much they yell at it in the context.
It’s as if you didn’t read or respond to my comment. LLM models are capable of learning… it’s called training. Models do change during training. You seem to be fixated on today’s inference, perhaps?
