I mean I'm not so impressed, because it seems like someones figured out the ventriloquist trick and and is just spamming it to make anything talk. Its fun enough, but unclear what this is achieving
- falcor84 5y ago>ventriloquist trick I don't understand your analogy here. It really is the machine talking; there is no human hiding behind the curtain.
- runarberg 5y agoI guess there is a bunch of data hiding behind the curtains, and there is human feeding the data to the model. However I don’t agree with GP here as a ventriloquist’s dummy is not doing anything a human can’t. A well trained language model can produce an output in seconds what it takes human weeks to.
- sanxiyn 5y agoI think better analogy is parrot speaking English. Certainly no ventriloquism there.
- visarga 5y agoThis metaphor doesn't do justice to parrots or language models. Parrots only speak a phrase or two. LMs can write full essays. On the other hand parrots can act in the environment, LMs are isolated from the world and society. So a parrot has a chance to test its ideas out, but LMs don't.
