An LLM is still a deterministic machine, which why it is the same as an Abacus.
AI today is built using classical computers but the human mind is a quantum computer. AI is a simulation of a quantum computing device built using a classical computing device. The simulation might provide some insight into how the real thing works but the underlying mechanism is completely different.

- groby_b 3y agoPlease do provide a citation for the deterministic nature of LLMs. (They provide probability distributions for the next word. They are not deterministic)
- hackinthebochs 3y agoThey are deterministic in the sense that you get the same output given the same input. We interpret their output as a probability distribution over words. But we can do this because we intentionally normalize the word scores.
- meh8881 3y agoAny physical object is comprised of electrons, among other things, meaning it interacts with quantum mechanics on some level. That does not mean quantum mechanics are fundamental to the abstracted idea of how the human brain works. People are so fond of the idea of saying consciousness and quantum mechanics are both weird so they must be the same thing.
