I don't understand this mindset, why is it people on here think humans have some kind of magical ability machines don't or can't? Five years ago I would never have predicted this kind of human chauvinism here. It's some kind of weird romanticism almost.
- Sharlin 5mo agoMaybe because everything LLM-written is written in the same style with no creativity, diversity, or idiosyncrasies? If all humans suddenly started writing in a single, bland, corporate style, that would be a tragedy, LLMs or not.
- kllrnohj 5mo agoBecause right now humans do have a magical ability machines don't. LLMs are a fuzzy reflection of what they've seen hundreds of times already, they don't have originality or intelligence (yet). As a much more immediate practical matter, LLMs trained on LLM output makes them worse overall, they degrade from doing that. So the more LLM-prodoced content fills the web, the less useful it is as a data source for future LLM training. In addition to just being increasingly boring and vapid.
- tskj 5mo agoSaying they don't posses any level of intelligence is wild.
- sulam 5mo agoThe intelligence is an emergent property of their ability to predict how a statement will proceed, therefore it is inevitably a reiteration or transformation at best. Lots of intelligent things can be produced from that, but nothing truly novel.
