i think the opposite is the problem
lots of people (such as yourself) who think they are really smart with no understanding of how consciousness works, confidently proclaiming what does and does not count as consciousness
“it’s just glorified autocomplete”
ok, so prove to me that the post you just wrote with your brain was doing something differently than glorified autocomplete
- smugglerFlynn 18d agoGoing from “the human brain might use similar language techniques” to “human output is driven by autocomplete” - and implying that LLMs and the brain are therefore similar - is a very long road. Prove to me that autocomplete contributes even 2% of what we write here, if you are so trigger-happy to assign the burden of proof to someone else.
- ThrowawayR2 18d agoWe know that LLMs are token pattern predictors because that's literally how the algorithm works. There have been plenty of explanations by the paper authors and by other sources, e.g. 3blue1brown's summary at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPZh9BOjkQs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPZh9BOjkQs. That LLMs are "glorified autocomplete"(sic) is beyond dispute. The burden is on the LLM promoters to back up their frequent claim that the brain is the same as an LLM and they are abjectly unable to do it. (Maybe they should have their LLMs write the proof for them if they are unable to figure it out themselves? Good luck with that.)
