I suspect everyone will call it a stochastic parrot because it did this one thing not right. And this will continue into the far far future even when it becomes sentient we will completely miss it.
- Jensson 2y agoOnce it pushed out most humans from white collar labor so the remaining humans work in blue collar jobs people wont say its just a stochastic parrot.
- myk9001 2y agoMaybe, maybe not. Power loom pushed a lot of humans out of the textile factory jobs, yet noone claims power loom is the AGI.
- Jensson 2y agoNot a lot, I mean basically everyone, to the point where most companies doesn't need to pay humans to think anymore.
- myk9001 2y agoWell, I'm too lazy to look up how many weavers were displaced back then and that's why I said a lot. Maybe all of them, since they weren't trained to operate the new machines. Anyway, sorry for a digression, my point is LLM replacing white collar workers doesn't necessarily imply it's generally intelligent -- it may but doesn't have to be. Although if it gets to a point where companies are running dark office buildings (by analogy with dark factories) -- yes, it's AGI by then.
- jimbokun 2y agoOr become shocked to realize humans are basically statistical parrots too.
- butlike 2y agoThe blue collar jobs are more entertaining anyways, provided you take the monetary inequality away.

- AstralStorm 2y agoIt's more than that but less than intelligence. Its generalization capabilities are a bit on the low side, and memory is relatively bad. But it is much more than just a parrot now, it can handle some of basic logic, but not follow given patterns correctly for novel problems. I'd liken it to something like a bird, extremely good at specialized tasks but failing a lot of common ones unless repeatedly shown the solution. It's not a corvid or a parrot yet. Fails rather badly at detour tests. It might be sentient already though. Someone needs to run a test if it can discern itself and another instance of itself in its own work.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoAn LLM is arguably more "intelligent" then people with an IQ of less than 80. If we call people with an IQ of less than 80 an intelligent life form, why can't we call an LLM that?
- Jensson 2y ago> It might be sentient already though. Someone needs to run a test if it can discern itself and another instance of itself in its own work. It doesn't have any memory, how could it tell itself from a clone of itself?
- AstralStorm 2y agoSimilarity match. For that you need to understand reflexively how you think and write. It's a fun test to give a person something they have written but do not remember. Most people can still spot it. It's easier with images though. Especially a mirror. For DallE, the test would be if it can discern its own work from human generated image. Especially of you give it an imaginative task like drawing a representation of itself.
- butlike 2y agoIt doesn't have any memory _you're aware of_. A semiconductor can hold state, so it has memory.
