> Its a language model and it fooled DH. It hasnt gotten smarter than us yet. Its just faster at repeating what other humans verbally said. I agree with this completely. That said, I think this part is a bit unfair: > Lets take someone, who is past their prime and interview them on a topic they have never worked on. AI has been a part of DH's work for decades. For most of that time, he's dismissed the mainstream approach as being intelligent in the Strange Loop sense, and was involved in alternative approaches to AI. Also, if we remove "faster", "repeating what other humans verbally said" is something a lot of humans do, especially little children. I think that may be the part that scares DH: at this point, what these models are doing is not that different (from a superficial POV) from what little kids or even some adults do. I still agree with you though, and I think what DH misses here is the fact that IMHO there is no introspection at all in these models. Somehow, in the case of humans, we go from parroting like an LLM to introspection and actually original productions over the course of some years (n = 2 for me, but I think any parent can confirm this; watching this happen in front of my eyes has been one of greatest experiences in my life), but I can still understand how someone like DH would be confused by the current state of affairs.
