My language skills are damaged by a childhood brain injury. I think in pictures; I remember information with emotions, music, movement, and basically anywhere my brain could stuff information. Words are ephemeral, I often forget the beginning of a sentence by the time I reach the end.
The human brain is so much more than language.

- Shorel 3y agoI completely agree with you. The fact that we can take ideas and serialize them into language doesn't mean the language and the ideas are the same thing. They become ideas again when we deserialize them into our minds. Language models can't do that (something else more complex could, but then it would not be just a language model).
- growingkittens 3y agoThe next generation of AI must be more than a language model. I believe AI will reach a stagnation point otherwise. Also slowing down AI is that: 1) We don't presently know that much about the human brain or psychology. A lot, yes, but relatively not that much. 2) The scientific method is systematic, not systemic. Both perspectives are needed to interpret a reality made of interconnected systems. 3) There are many specialists and not many generalists. Generalists are needed to tie together the multiple domains required to emulate the human brain.
- schultzie 3y agoCan I message you about your brain injury experience? Your description of what your life/experience matches my own, and I had several concussions as a child. I never considered the possibility my "unique" way of remembering things and speech patterns was linked to brain trauma.
