This is a wild argument.
If I use the word "semantic", do you have a concept of what it means?
If so, can you please share which of your senses have shaped the world experience that inform this concept? What have you smelled, tasted, caressed, that informed this concept outside of words?
If I make up the word "polysemantic", do you need to recall a personal experience of polyamory to understand it, or could you possibly use your concept of "poly" and your concept of "semantic" to figure out this new concept?
- sublinear 3mo agoYes, but are you claiming that LLMs perform more specific acts of cognition beyond organizing information?
- sebastiennight 3mo agoI'm puzzled by this question. Does the material universe perform any other acts than organizing information? I feel like you're trying to make me argue a position I'm not defending here.
- robotresearcher 3mo agoWhat does 'organizing information' exclude?
- rsoto2 3mo agoYes. When someone is teaching you language as a baby you have eyes and ears and 100 million nerve endings and constant "training" to understand language. You cannot understand the word "semantics" as a human without this crucial "training" step. My god you people will pull out the most bs metaphors to justify being in awe(and debt) to a software program.
