But the stochastic parrot (LLM) is the world model, isn't it? What's the difference?

- simianwords 3mo agoYeah… LLMs clearly already have a world model
- thomastjeffery 3mo agoI think it's a good distinction to make between having and being, which seems to be what the whole "stochastic parrots" bit was intended to make all along. It doesn't make sense to say a model is in possession of its self. That's exactly the sort of poetic anthropomorphization that Bender was criticising here, and a good reason to not refer to an LLM as "an AI".
- simianwords 3mo agoWow this is exactly kind of pedanticism that annoys me with Bender. Glad that this kinda thing is becoming unpopular.
- thomastjeffery 3mo agoThere is more here then pedantry, but if you aren't interested in it, then go right ahead and live your life.
