Reflecting on the complementary strengths of Wolfram and GPT reminds me of Daniel Kahneman’s distinction between “system 1” and “system 2” in the human brain. One system is a kind of freely-associating autopilot (like gpt) and the other kicks in when some deliberate logical manipulation of facts needs doing (like wolfram). (Or at least this was my layman’s impression from reading Thinking Fast and Slow.)
Have others thought of this and, if so, is the comparison apt? Is it possible the human brain is simply an LLM melded to a symbol-based system in dialogue with each other?
