You realise we have debugging tools that let us inspect what is going on inside transformer-based models like GPT-3 right?

Because it's available and does interesting things.

No one who works in the field thinks anything approaching this.
I think GPT-3 does raise questions about what intelligence is though.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoThere have been studies to indicate we can predict which decisions people will make before they themselves are consciously aware they have made a decision. I'm not convinced "we can inspect what's going on" is sufficient criteria for ruling out intelligence.
- nl 6y agoI agree, and I'd think this goes to the heart of "what is intelligence" and "exactly how intelligent are humans".
