Lol. I will grant you that the LLMs aren't coming up with profound revelations, but let's be honest, who among us is?
If I want to talk about various theories around free will or events in the middle ages or the evolution of political parties in the United States over the last century, I can guarantee you I'm going to get a far richer commentary from GPT4 than I will from most people (myself included).
Is it going to solve P=NP? Probably not (yet), but then again me and my friends were not going to be doing that either.
- __loam 3y agoP=NP is more than likely a physical problem with our current computational architectures more than anything else. I would imagine cracking that would require new physics, and for that, the infrastructure these things run on is likely far more important than the LLMs themselves. Leveraging parallelism on a massive scale will be incredible for scientific computing, but I doubt LLMs, with their unverifiable bullshit, will play a big role beyond any computational patterns their architecture contributes to the field. If I want to learn more about history, I'll stick to peer reviewed sources like Wikipedia or academic literature. Gpt-4 will remain a curiosity until there are mechanisms to verify its output.
