It's moving towards the local maxima of whatever this clever use of statistics and big data can manage. People who realize these models are in a different category than AGI and how our brains work will be in a better position to maximize their utility.
- maxilevi 4y agoWhy wouldn't be possible that our brains are just a dense and efficient statistical machine doing pattern matching?
- mdp2021 4y agoThe "«pattern matching»" intelligent entities do refines those very patterns. There is an _action_ there, a module, a function, that has to be working.
- maxdoop 4y agoI see this comment often, but cannot understand how our brains are that different even that what an LLM does. Do we not "consume" enormous amounts of data, then predict what to do/say next based on that data? Is that not what an LLM is doing? Note that I'm not saying LLMs are sentient or anything (however, I have thoughts on sentience in general). I am simply saying there's an obvious similarity between how humans think and LLMs -- and for whatever reason, so many people think we are special simply because we are "made of meat".
