I think you should anthropomorphize LLMs. They are being trained on millions of books, including novels and other human-centered formats, which usually exemplify very well how humans think and act in various situations. There are probably also many theatre scripts, transcriptions of series and movies in the training data, which further exemplify how humans do. If we’ve been anthropomorphizing those characters in books and plays, (and authors sure must’ve put their best effort that we do so), then why wouldn’t we do it to LLMs which basically play by those scripts?
- wahnfrieden 22d agoWell, those training inputs reflect how human thought and action are documented or otherwise expressed on paper. Humans have behaviors and mechanisms that these expressions don't translate.
- dns_snek 22d agoYeah, if we could document our actual thought process then we wouldn't struggle to train LLMs what good code actually looks like and we wouldn't have slop anymore. Any process that can be documented can be automated and yet we don't have an algorithm to assign a score of how "good", readable, maintainable a codebase is. None that would correlate with human judgement, anyway.
