Large language models are not "smart". They do not have thought. They don't have intelligence despite the "AI" moniker, etc.
They vomit words based off very fancy statistics.
There is no path from that to "thought" and "intelligence."
- danielbln 2y agoNot that I disagree, but what's intelligence? How does our intelligence work? If we don't know that, how can we be so sure what does and what doesn't lead to intelligence? A little more humility is on order before whipping out the tired "LLMs are just stochastic parrots" argument.
- bormaj 2y agoHumility has to go both ways then, we can't claim that LLM models are actually (or not actually) AI without qualifying that term first.
