Conceptually this is the same for LLMs.
Input/perceive -> human/LLM -> output/act. You might say the acting part for LLMs is not autonomous but that is only dependent on how much agency is given to LLMs. LLMs outputs are massively used, hence their outputs lead to actions.

What is different from LLMs: rich, continuous. I would argue these are quantative and qualitative traits that fall outside of what I meant with "conceptually".

- nuancebydefault 3y agoThis is indeed a difference that I overlooked, there is limited feedback on LLMs output, other than a rater primitive survival model (models that aren't popular/correct/cheap/fast enough are not used anymore over time)
