On a slight tangent from the core topic..
> we are all 'stochastic parrots' like large language models, statistical generators of learned patterns that express nothing deeper, is a form of nihilism to mean: “life is meaningless. (period)”.
When in fact, it really means: “life is meaningless… (you fill the dots for yourself)”.
Humans created the concepts of law and order, and the rules of society. Everything is man made.
More on the topic: how can we dismiss the theory of ChatGPTs intelligence when we barely understand what constitutes our intelligence at the biological level. It’s a compelling hypothesis. A neural model is the closest thing we’ve got to anything that resembles our biological model.
If indeed 1 neuron = 1 parameter, ChatGPT (175 billion parameters) could be a comparable intellectual model to a human being (86 billion neurons).
Lastly, I think some politicians are doing more damage to our civilization by dividing people. History tells us the damage and trauma from this can carry on for many many generations to come. Maybe, just maybe, ChatGPT could bring some sense into people to move past hatred and accept each others differences.
- sterlind 4y agowe're not stochastic parrots, we're reinforcement learning systems. we're motivated by pain and pleasure. we create plans to avoid pain and achieve pleasure. we guide our own learning. that's the reason AlphaZero can become superhuman at Go, while ChatGPT can't even play. it makes me wonder if OpenAI has abandoned RL because it's too hard, and they're trying to move the AGI goalposts to these giant unsupervised models.
