If you “sample” this enough to be reasoning in a general manner, what is exactly the problem here?
Magic “reasoning fairy dust” missing from the formula? I get the argument and I think I agree. See Dreyfus and things like “the world is the model”.
Thing is, the world could contain all intelligent patterns and we are just picking up on them. Composing them instead of creating them. This makes us automatons like AI, but who cares if the end result is the same?
- mjburgess 4y agoThe distribution to sample from mostly doesn't exist. Data is produced by intelligent agents, it isn't just "out there to be sampled from". That would mean all future questions already have their answers in some training data: they do not. See for example this exact tweet: pre-2021 coding challenges are excellent, post-2021 are poor. Why? Because post-2021 didnt exist to sample from when the system was built.
