But, you are. We all are, I am too.
There are emergent behaviors and properties that make us more important than simply the sum of our chemistry - at least I hope.
But what if LLMs, could there be emergent behavior there that makes it more than simply the sum of its code?
- nemo44x 4y agoThe idea of “emergent behaviors” is no better an explanation for say, human consciousness, than the idea that we were made in the image of a god. Emergent is just a way for an atheist to cover up that they have no idea. That chemical 1 + chemical 2 + electricity happens and is observed and the reason we can’t explain the other 99% is……emergent. Now I hear gravity must be emergent. What a useful tool to sound smart.
- pixl97 4y ago> just a way for an atheist to cover up Ah, and there we have it. Emergence is just complexity. The problem with complexity is it takes a lot of time and massive amounts of effort so determine what it is in the computation (digital or quantum) that produces the effect, and is commonly not reducible. Bringing in an imaginary character in order to explain the complexity is just a failure of logic.
- halgir 4y ago> Emergent is just a way for an atheist to cover up that they have no idea. We don't. I don't think many try to cover that up. Emergence just means that a system has properties not apparent from the parts going into it. It's not a tool to handwave away that fact and ascribe it to "emergent hocus pocus", it's a tool to frame the search for why that happens.
