ChatGPT is a glorified CTL+V of loosely connected content available on the internet.
- ceejayoz 3y agoYes, but even a model trained on a bunch of scientific papers will lack understanding in the same fashion, until there's some new technological breakthrough.
- agronomicon 3y agoUnderstanding is not necessary for uncovering statistical correlations.
- ceejayoz 3y agoNeither is AI. The parent poster wants it to suggest new farming techniques, which is a little more involved than plotting a trend line.
- agronomicon 3y agoAI is simply about finding correlations in large data sets. Computers don't understand anything, they just shuffle symbols. So training an LLM on agricultural research will likely uncover patterns that would not be obvious to people and these patterns could point to new techniques and processes for increasing yields like scheduled flooding (as explained in the article). LLMs don't understand code but they consistently can complete code fragments which end up being correct more often than not. A model for yield optimization doesn't have to understand farming to suggest techniques and processes for increasing yields just like LLMs do for code fragments.
- gamblor956 3y agoLLMs can complete code fragments because they're just matching them up based on having seen these code fragments paired together in they're database.
- bboygravity 3y agoYeah, just like a car is a CTRL + V of parts available on the car parts market.
