Summarizing: LLMs are autocomplete, not thinking machines.
- sdenton4 2y agoThis is still too reductive, IMO. The kinda dumb colleague who has memorized all the literature is not just auto-complete. When I ask about some statistical technique that I didn't know the name of, being able to connect my description to the correct methods in the literature isn't 'just auto-complete.' They just have a particular set of strengths and weaknesses, same as any tool. Figuring out their strengths and limitations is how you use them well. And dismissing them for not fully solving AGI is short-sighted.
