Those don't look like rewards, or at least don't get processed as such for many people (myself included).
Or maybe there is some art to finding happiness in simple things like having folded clothes or surviving the commute?
- IshKebab 2y agoIn RL rewards can be anything you want. They don't have to be things that humans like.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoFair enough! I guess you can always find some well-specified, measurable goal/reward, but then that choice limits the performance of your model. It's fine when you're building a very specialized system; it gets more difficult the more general you're trying to be. For a general system meant to operate in human environment, the goal ends up approaching "things that humans like". Case in point, that's what the overall LLM goal function is - continuations that make sense to humans, in fully-general meaning of that.
