It's not, though. It is in fact able to summarize financial data, just as it's able to write code and diagnose a medical condition. It makes mistakes, yes, even grave ones, much more so than experts in those fields would.
- mjburgess 3y agoIt isnt making mistakes ... its never actually doing it. Do you see a difference between the process of adding numbers and dividing by their count (taking a mean) and emitting numeric tokens which are most probable for a given input? The former is called "taking a mean" the latter isnt. This system never engages in any method to summarise financial data. It's method is always the same: to emit tokens most probable given a set of historical tokens. It's the difference between saying "the average of 1,2,3" is 2 because that sentence occurs 1,000,000 times and saying it's 2 because you've literally computed it. This system does not run financial summary algorithms. It's a trick
