I wonder how many people who think they have no reasoning abilities have actually seen GPT-4. There's clearly some form of reasoning with GPT-4.
There are situations where a human can reason better. But these are usually identified as bugs and will probably just be fixed later.
Yes, they're basically autocomplete machines but a human is a bundle of neurons optimized for survival anyway. But humans can become irrational to things that threaten survival. Classic medical example is the drama that emerged when one doctor suggested that washing hands would reduce mortality rates.
Humans and LLM-based AI evolve rationality based around different factors and form different "bugs" and I love that they're capable of fact checking each other now.
- malborodog 4y agoJust because it produces sequences of tokens that we typically experience as evidence of reasoning does not mean that it reasoned to produce them. We know -- generally -- the process by which those tokens were produced. It is not deterministic, but its properties are understood. It's a language model! It is not a mind.
- stavros 4y agoI would be very interested to hear how exactly a mind produces its reasoning.
