That's a simplistic view on this. Explain this with "continues a conversation". https://twitter.com/maxhkw/status/1635693113560772633 https://twitter.com/maxhk

Humans start by continuing conversations as well, but then are able to process facts to deduct new, previously unseen conclusions (sometimes wrong), and so do LLMs.
- calibas 3y agoIf your conversations don't include processing facts to deduce "new, previously unseen conclusions" then you need new friends. It's "continuing a conversation" in that it's predicting output token-by-token based upon training and the context window. I'm not trying to be dismissive, I actually don't think it's much different from how humans do it.
- jojobas 3y agoWell that's what I'm saying, they're perfectly capable of figuring out things that were not mentioned in the training corpus at all (see above comic), or to synthesize what it saw in far unrelated areas of the corpus into unknown as before data. Some may not want to call it thinking, but that's ahead of thinking ability of many an adult human with voting rights.
