It's still "just" next token prediction based on basic math. Yes, we see many astonishing results, at the same time, there is no magic to it. So I don't think that it's not clear what's going on here.
- deltaonenine 4y agoIt's magic. You can't see it. But the fact that we have to probe a machine for these results means the result was not predictable or expected. That's magic. I think people are biased. What makes me think this? Because some of these AIs have already cleared Turing tests. But everyone is moving the bar higher... a Turing test is no longer a valid definition for sentience; and everyone has developed reasoning for why. Changing definitions to accommodate beliefs is bias. I actually agree with you. It is a token prediction based off of basic math. That's also essentially what a human brain is... A token predictor based off of basic math. The existence of these AIs aren't making any profound statements about technological achievement. No. The simplicity of these machines are actually making a statement about human intelligence and how trivial and simple human intelligence actually is. Again I repeat, the AIs figured it out faster then many humans. This was something previously humans should've universally been better at. Sure, that conversation seems a little off. But a bar in terms of expectations and AI technology was moved, the fact that someone posted this on HN is proof of this.
