LLMs are not for expanding the sphere of human knowledge, but for speeding up auto-correct of higher order processing to help you more quickly reach the shell of the sphere and make progress with your own mind :)
- tsunamifury 2y agoDefinitely. When we talk about being skilled in a T shape LLMs are all about spreading your top of T and not making the bottom go deeper.
- ben_w 2y agoIndeed, not much more depth — though even Terence Tao reported useful results from an earlier version, so perhaps the breadth is a depth all of it's own: https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao/110601051375142142 https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao/110601051375142142 I think of it as making the top bar of the T thicker, but yes, you're right, it also spreads it much wider.
