And? It knows how to formulate and execute that script. There are pretty hardcoded areas of our brain for doing various tasks - when we offload things to those sections are we not really "thinking" ?
- staticman2 3y agoI'm pointing out the disconnect in the conversation: If you say I'm not smart enough to solve a math problem, and I use a python script to solve it written by a smarter person, whether "I" solved it is a matter of interpretation. By not discussing this I felt the above poster was leaving out some key details.
- insanitybit 3y agoI don't agree with the characterization of the script being written by someone else. The model is writing that script, they're just offloading execution of that script to Python.
- staticman2 3y agoIf you object to my terminology replace Python script with "Python interpreter" written by someone else. The point is using someone else's work can be interpreted as not solving the problem yourself.
- insanitybit 3y agoRight, the Python interpreter is written by someone else. We agree. But the script is not. ChatGPT understood the algorithm, produced it on its own, and offloaded the execution of that program to CPython. I don't think that that's actually so significant - like I said, parts of our own brains are hardwired to do certain things and the interesting bit is that we know to offload work to those parts.
