We discovered DNA. We didn't invent it. The process of running any software is absolutely understood by humans because humans wrote it.
In ancient times, people ascribed magical qualities to rocks. Today, they're doing it to computers.
- circuit10 3y agoNo, the model weights were not written by humans. We wrote an automatic optimisation process that found the weights on its own. No one claims it’s magical, just that we don’t understand them. Sure, we can see the low level mathematical process that is going on, but that doesn’t tell us about the high level processes and why they are happening that way. It’s similar to just understanding how neurons fire wouldn’t give us a complete understanding of the human brain Try watching by these videos that explain how neural networks work, and you’ll see how the training process find the weights on its own: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDNU6R1_67000Dx_ZCJB-3pi https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDNU6R1_67000Dx_...
