I really wish people would stop comparing LLMs to human learning. They're really not equivalent, nowhere nearly as similar - I understand that LLMs are pretty impressive, but it's really time to stop anthropomorphizing them.
- GolDDranks 3y agoWhy though? It's interesting. I'm not claiming it's equivalent or even remotely similar. (So I agree with your point about _anthropomorphising_) But as a former linguist, in first time history, we witness a system other than humans that exhibits language-like behaviour. Studying these system by no means tells us anything about how _humans_ learn language. But it gives us ideas and viewpoints of what's possible in the "systems-learning-languages" space.
