- tim333 1y agoI had a look at that and am not convinced >people are convinced that language models, or specifically chat-based language models, are intelligent... But there isn’t any mechanism inherent in large language models (LLMs) that would seem to enable this... and says it must be a con but then how come they pass most of the exams designed to test humans better than humans do? And there are mechanisms like transformers that may do something like human intelligence.
