The key is to stop calling it "training" and use "learning" or just "reading".
The argument from NYT will probably be that LLMs are just a fancy way to compress or abstract information and spit it back out. In which case "training" seems to support their case?
- mycall 3y agoI don't recall the source, but when people read, they typically only remember 20% of what they read (or heard?). Machine training encodes much more than 20%, so it is much closer to copying than training. Now the emergent abilities that come from this could be considered learning and dare I say imagination (which is the opposite of copying).
