Your brain is solving math problems.
Culture is community. It's writing. Art. Shows. Architecture.
AI is learning from this, and is seeing it. We are now in community with AI.
GPT-3 shows basic understanding of concepts and appears to be reasoning at times. While we know how to train these models, and we know the processes they run to evaluate weights, for example, we are still learning about how semantic based information and computation forms "thoughts".
In my opinion, When AI is given dynamic memory instead of frozen memories, we will see this manifest in a very obvious way. It's a computational limitation right now, but we all know where compute speeds are going...
- notahacker 4y ago> Your brain is solving math problems. But that's the point. It's not some step change in culture that companies are using computer-based learning processes to figure out what content people are most interested in consuming rather than a focus group and an abacus, its just a more efficient process for achieving human-defined ends designed and calibrated by humans. And many of the most impressive applications of AI have precisely zero interaction with human culture (or parses it for entirely different ends; autonomous vehicle tech sees a lot of architecture but doesn't use it for anything other than classifying objects not to hit)
- XorNot 4y agoMore importantly, culture is an emergent phenomenon from interactions between people. It's reaction to individual acts of art, storytelling, design etc. GPT-3 has already very slowly been influencing how we write, or think about writing - and the next round of model training will generate that suite of AI-models cultural responses to how we reacted to it.
