The brain is not a monolith.
- emp17344 1y agoSpecifically, which portions of the brain are “very specialized”? I’m not aware of any aspect of the brain that’s as narrowly applied to tasks as the tools LLMs use. For example, there’s no coding module within the brain - the same brain regions you use when programming could be used to perform many, many other tasks.
