- stevenhuang 4y agoEspecially when they use the stochastic parrot argument to further their point (or say something about how LLMs are mere next word predictors as if that ends all discussion on the matter). I've always found arguments of these sort to be weak sauce--our brains are stochastic parrots. Emergent behaviour + the bitter lesson (scaling laws) hits hard.
- hnfong 4y agoThe stochastic parrot is literally what would pass a Turing Test. Think about it. If the parrot imitates humans well enough it passes. And while there may be objections to defining intelligence with respect to the Turing Test, I haven't heard of any definitions that are obviously and significantly better. Our brains are stochastic parrots at least when it comes to communicating with text. People may digress into things like physical abilities, emotions, feelings, subjective experiences etc., but if we're talking about text, I'm not aware of a higher bar. In fact we probably don't know how to tell if an entity is "more intelligent" than the most intelligent humans because we won't be able to assess their intelligence.
