creativity
- bumby 3y agoFirst, you need to define creativity into a testable measure before we can claim ChatGPT is any better or worse. So how do we measure creativity?
- jononomo 3y agoChatGPT isn't going to have any new or original ideas.
- bumby 3y agoThat’s not really a quantifiable measure, though. It’s a statement but not a falsifiable one, therefore not a good measure. There’s an argument that the vast majority of human-generated research isn’t really “novel” but just derivative of other ideas. I’m not so sure ChatGPT couldn’t combine existing ideas to come up with something “novel” just like humans. I think there’s a case that it already comes up with creative, novel solutions in the drug space.
- jononomo 3y agoDo you understand what LLMs are? Of course they're not going to have original ideas because they're not alive and they are not intelligent. They're just dead-as-a-doornail algorithms.
- bumby 3y agoI'm not disagreeing on that point. I'm pushing back on your almost mystic use of the term creativity because it's a claim that's not falsifiable. It's like saying "ChatGPT isn't conscious." I'd tend to agree, but the claim is a bad one because we can't even adequately define consciousness in order to test the claim.
