Thanks for articulating this so well. I'm a musician and music/CS phd student, and as a jazz improvisor of advanced skill (30+ years), I'm accutely aware that there are significant areas of intelligence for which linguistic thinking is not only not good enough, but something to be avoided as much as one can (which is bloody hard sometimes). I have found it so frustrating, but hard to figure out how to counter, that the current LLM zeitgeist seems to hinge on a belief that linguistic intelligence is both necessary and sufficient for AGI.

Most modern LLMs are multimodal.

  Does it really matter? At the end of the day, all the modalities and their architectures boil down to matrices of numbers and statistical probability. There’s no agency, no soul.

    At the end of the day, all modalities boil down to patterns of electrical activity in your brain.

      The brain is the important part. The electricity just keeps it going. And it’s more than numerical matrices.

        You mean soul?

  Tri-modal at best: text, sound and video, and that's it. That's just barely "multi" (it's one more than two).
