Did you ever find yourself making up the title, journal, authors and contents of a scientific paper and were unaware of it? No? Congratulations, whatever your brain is, it's not a "ChatGPT LLM".
- Sharlin 4y agoInterestingly, there are real neurological conditions where a person absolutely does confabulate nonsense without being aware of it, and indeed going to great lengths to avoid cognitive dissonance when told that what they just said was obvious nonsense.
- tambourine_man 4y agoDo you have absolute control to where your mind wonders? Can you always steer it precisely?
- Al-Khwarizmi 4y agoThere are some conditions (dreaming, on drugs, etc.) where this does indeed happen. One could argue that current LLMs are analogous to the human mind minus the "control systems" that keep it reined in while awake and in a normal state of consciousness. Not claiming this is the case, just that it seems like a plausible hypothesis at this point.
