Leading theories in neuroscience actually do point towards similarities of human brains to LLMs at least in terms of the algorithmic process of minimizing prediction errors.

I would suggest not making sweeping statements about how neuroscience researchers would react when lacking of a relevant knowledge background.

- mjburgess 3y agoAt the level of abstraction of "minimising an error", almost everything is the same. There is nothing in the process of compressing digitised text into a quantised space that corresponds to the ordinary meaning of words such as "know, aware, believe, intend, want, think, ..." and so on.
