Why Can't 100B-Parameter AI Models Create a Simple Puzzle?

• jqpabc123 2y ago
  Because the AI model is built around statistics and prediction --- not logic and reason. In other words, it's primarily a talking database. Asking a database for logic is a mis-application. Acceptable logic can be produced in some cases --- but this is due to random chance (it just happened to find a similar problem encoded in memory) more so than any "thinking" or reason. Do you feel lucky? Ask for any logical result not seen before (like creating a puzzle) and it is likely to fail miserably. Memory is a poor substitute for logic. How many applications can accept faulty logic at high cost? There are some but these are rather limited in my opinion. The ultimate test --- would you do business with a bank run by AI? Would AI bank consistently offer better interest rates on savings and loans than a conventional one? Or would it be easily victimized by con artists? Would it simply refuse any further loans as a result? If AI can't run a bank successfully, it certainly can't run the world.
