LLMs miss very important concepts, like the concept of a fact. There is no "true", just consensus text on the internet given a certain context. Like that study recently where LLMs gave wrong info if there was the biography of a poor person in the context.
- steve1977 7mo agoI think much along the same lines. LLMs are probably even just a part of the language center. And of course they also miss things like embodiment, mirror neurons etc. If an LLM makes a mistake, it will tell you it is sorry. But does it really feel sorry?
- red75prime 7mo ago> But does it really feel sorry? And what does it mean to feel sorry? Beyond fallible and imprecise human introspective notion of "sorry", that is. A definition that can span species and computing substrates. A deanthropomorphized definition of "sorry", so to speak.
- dnautics 7mo agothats unlikely. but they are awfully lot like turing machines (k/v cache ~ turing tape) so their architecture is strongly predisposed to be able to find any algorithm, possibly including reasoning
- joquarky 7mo agoEver practiced meditation of the form where you just witness your thoughts? It seems just like LLM generated words, both factual and confabulated nonsense.
