- AlexandrB 11mo ago> It's really hard to argue that LLM's don't have intelligence in the way the earthworms do. It's really easy to argue, actually. LLMs have intelligence the way humans online do. An earthworm is highly specialized for what it does and exists in a completely different context - I doubt an LLM would be successful guiding a robotic earthworm around since all it knows about earthworms is what researchers have observed and documented. The actual second-to-second experience of being an earthworm is not accessible as training data to an LLM. Edit: This is true almost by definition. An LLM (Large Language Model) can't have intelligence that's not expressible in language and earthworms are notoriously shy in interviews.

- bryanlarsen 11mo agoWell past the edit window on this one, so can't fix it now. "Meaningless and fruitless" is a better term. AGI is shorthand for what people are worried about. i.e. The singularity and taking all the jobs. But you don't need perfect AGI for that.
