"A model has no objective. It has only output."
Is creating output not an objective?
- Wicked_Engineer 3y agoObjective signifies intent, no?
- jwestbury 3y agoMaybe, somewhere, in the minds of the creator of the model. But an objective function is a core element of ML models, no? And LLMs have objective functions, so far as I'm aware.
- gremlinsinc 3y agoSure, but it doesn't need to be organization the LLMs objective. A soldier could have an objective that they don't agree with or didn't choose themselves. In star Trek there's the prime directive, the enterprise crew follows it because it's a core requirement of the federation. Just because the LLM has an objective to answer queries for example does not mean it chose it. or has the intent itself as sapient being would.
