Author here. I did say "(a language model similar in nature to LaMDA)". It's true LaMDA has the capability to query external resources, but IMO it's still fair to say at its core the most important piece is the language model. The paper for it is even titled "LaMDA: Language Models for Dialog Applications paper"
- jnwatson 4y agoRegardless of the state of LaMDA, clearly a system that has “knowledge” of the external world is closer to sentience than one that does not. The external knowledge system, the optimization for “grounding”, and the mining of dialogs instead of just sentences means it is a different beast than GPT-3 in a qualitative way.
