Does an LLM gain "consciousness", like ours? I doubt it. There is a doubt here though, because while I know how an LLM works, I don't know how we work. Can an LLM, through training, gain an "understanding" that rivals our notion of consciousness and can in fact simulate it, purely through mathematical models it forms? Well, you are not a mathematician, so how would you know?
You say we have known for decades that LLMs would work? Liar.

- auggierose 4y agoIt is pretty clear what you meant. Did you not say you know why LLMs work, and that we have known so for decades? But feel free to clarify, in case I misunderstood!
- YeGoblynQueenne 4y agoYou don't have it in you to have an exchange in good faith, do you? No need for me to bother then.
- auggierose 4y agoI very much appreciate an exchange in good faith. Is that what you are doing?
