Exactly. All the people saying LLM's aren't important because it is just auto-complete, really don't connect the dots that humans are also just auto-complete.

- ricardobeat 4y agoOur brain excels at pattern matching. We attribute a lot of human abilities to “intelligence”, but the line between that and pattern-matching (or “autocomplete” ad it’s being referred as here) is being challenged by these latest LLMs. If it can look at a picture, explain what’s in it, and hypothesize about physics inside the picture’s environment, is it “just pattern matching”?
- shanebellone 4y ago"If it can look at a picture, explain what’s in it, and hypothesize about physics inside the picture’s environment, is it “just pattern matching”?" That's extrapolation via approximation. Computers synthesize a specification. The difference is nuanced and entirely contextual.
- ricardobeat 4y agoThose are way too broad terms for this conversation to go anywhere. The point is, what's to say the LLM is not doing "extrapolation via approximation" or some process that is analog to how we think? We barely understand how the brain works to start with.
