"emergent behavior" is probably the most misunderstood concept ever. It does NOT mean "this thing is intelligent". It simply means "a property of the system that none of its components have"
In other words, any engineered systems displays emergent behavior.
- jacknews 4y agoIt does NOT NECCESSARILY mean it is intelligent, of course. But my point is there is scope for surprising behavior when the scale is large enough, and I'd argue that's what we're seeing with these models. In fact it seems self-evident, they are giving intelligent responses way beyond what you'd expect from even the most sophisticated autocomplete.
- miraculixx 4y agoNo, it is not surprising. The models have been designed and trained for exactly this behavior. Also "emergent" does not mean suprising or unexpected. It just means the system has properties that none of its components have. That's it.
