Would it be thinking if the brain was modeled in a more "accurate" way? Does this set of criteria for thinkingness come from whether or not the underlying machinery resembles what the corresponding machinery in humans looks like under the hood?
I'm putting the word accurate in quotes, because we'd have to understand how the brain in humans works, to have a measure for accuracy, which is very much not the case, in my humble opinion, contrary to what many of the commenters here imply.
- duxup 1y agoIMO it would depend on what it is actually doing. Right now the fact that it just string words together without knowing the meaning is painfully obvious when it fails. I'll ask a simple question and get a "Yes" back and then it lists all the reasons that indicate the answer is very clearly "No." But it is clear that the LLM doesn't "know" what it is saying.
