Speaking of weird, that's a very weird definition of knowledge. Because in that case, then almost any data transformation operation implies knowledge. MS Word thesaurus? Knowledge. Search and replace? Knowledge. Markov chain[1]? Knowledge.

- gaganyaan 4y agoKnowledge is one of those vague words like conciousness that has people arguing past one another. However, yes, an interactive thesaurus has "knowledge" of a very limited sort. And LLMs have much more "knowledge", and are able to synthesize novel things from that knowledge. You can argue "it's only seemingly got knowledge!" all you want, as everyone else enjoys increasingly capable AI.
