Which part are you confused about? Symbols are meaningless until someone imposes semantics on them. There is nothing meaningful about arithmetic in a neural net

Which part are you confused about? Symbols are meaningless until someone imposes semantics on them. There is nothing meaningful about arithmetic in a neural network other than whatever conventions are imposed on the binary sequences, same way 97 has no meaning other than the conventional agreement that it is the ascii code point for "a".
- kelseyfrog 7mo agoI guess I don't get the main idea. Chemical reactions in our brains are semantically void and yet we're able to use it as substrate for thinking.
- measurablefunc 7mo agoThis has nothing to do with chemical reactions. The discussion was about symbols and arithmetic. But in any event, this discussion has run its course so good luck: https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69c473e1f71c8191a4ed1e3e2dbdef83 https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69c473e1f71c8191a4ed1e3e2dbdef83
- kelseyfrog 7mo agoYes! Excellent example of an ungrounded response, a hallucination.
- measurablefunc 7mo agoAlso a demonstration of your rhetoric.
