Giving a description of a song is not the same as saying what you think about it.

Giving a description of a song is not the same as saying what you think about it.
- krisoft 3y agoSo? Do you think we can’t make an LLM which picks a favourite song and writes about it with the gusto a person does? What is this example supposed to illustrate?
- yladiz 3y agoMaybe, but 1. the point isn’t to describe, but to explain an abstract and potentially novel idea (thought) on the song, and 2. we can’t train this kind of thing in a generic way right now.
- jpnc 3y agoWe clearly can, but not with gusto. LLM can't feel gusto about anything. If the point is that it doesn't matter as long as a person reading it is convinced there is gusto, then my point is that the 'opinion' of such a thing is irrelevant.
- famouswaffles 3y agoThis is circular reasoning. LLMs can't feel gusto because they can't feel gusto. You have any way to measure "gusto" that we're all aware of ? If other humans ascribing the quality of something you can't properly define isn't enough then you clearly don't care about what a LLM does or does not have, only what you are convinced it doesn't have.
