If that's our metric then most humans haven't truly learned addition either
For any neural network, the standard you can expect for any learned skill is closer to a human learning that skill than to a computer programmed to do that thing. There will be occasional mistakes
- Bolwin 2y agoWell we have formally learned addition but most of the time I actually do it, I'm not doing it, I'm going based on some half remembered pattern checked with statistical expectations. I'm sure the llm could formally do it too
- mannykannot 2y agoHow LLMs tackle addition is an interesting question in its own right, independently of whether their accuracy provides a metric for judging their ability relative to that of typical humans.
