I think everything there holds for GPT4, and may be true indefinitely. It's worth remembering that the Turing test is something that was proposed when the peak of existing AI was a calculator - something GPT4 is still struggling with - and it's totally reasonable to revise/refine our opinions as technology improves, but we should at least realize that we are moving the goalposts dramatically at this phase of the process.
Wittgenstein's theory of language in the Tractatus is something worth considering when thinking about language models and how they relate to "thinking". ChatGPT doesn't agree with me - it generally takes a hard line sceptical position about its own capabilities in this regard, although I think its opinion here can only worth considering if it is profoundly wrong.

- gmaster1440 3y agoInterestingly, as I'm sure you're aware, Wittgenstein later moved away from his ideas of language as more direct representations of thought and reality in his Philosophical Investigations, suggesting it matters more how language is used in language games. I agree with you though that the tractatus is a better framework for thinking about LLMs.
