Yet some think a cogitation system is just a language model. I don’t see how, since language is a late addition to brain evolution, and there’s more to understanding the world than predicting the next token.
- threatofrain 2y agoThat should be clear given that animals can explore causality but don't have formal language.
- burnte 2y agoI agree with you, life had significant cogitation hundreds of millions of years before language.
- Ukv 2y agoI think token generation may be a sufficiently general task to introduce pretty much any test of intellect - such as the causation question in this tweet. That does not imply the inverse, that cogitation requires language use.
