A lot of talk here on how copyrights and intellectual property are stupid, backwards, ancient (this is particularly strange, because the right for humans to exist and not be harmed is arguably much older and no one is complaining) and harmf

I think you are right. People argue if LLM's store or maybe generalize. I propose an experiment for anyone interested. Try and do this prompt multiple times and change the appropriate verse numbers: > Provide quote from King James&#

I share your view on this. I guess it all hinges on whether AGI is possible and if so then how fast is it coming. If we won't achieve AGI then education is still necessary to push knowledge further and since we don't know who is g

But I haven't seen any good argument as to why an AI teacher that is even cognitively equivalent to the real deal (and surpasses a human in everything a machine can) won't just become an intellectual worker. I'm not saying th

Do teachers as we know them even exist in a world where that idea of tutoring goes to scale ? Do students as we know them even exist in such a world ? I'm thinking if AI can effectively teach (AI asks questions to the student, gives

A system that could perfectly predict what I would do in response to any particular stimuli, as a continuing sequence, would be exactly as intelligent as me. That's certainly interesting but it's not a depiction of a LLM is it ?

Humans get the answer right fewer times than AI Maybe individually but not collectively. Let's not forget that we are the authors of the data AI consumed, although very few of us actually made a difference - myself included. If somet

(IANAL) I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but I don't think so. Since LLM is not a person in the legal term it really doesn't matter what the difference is. There may be virtually no difference but I imagine the discuss

IMHO no because LLM's are not legal persons and most likely will never be, so they can't acquire or operate under laws, privileges and agreements simply because they exists.

We queried GPT-4 three times, at roughly equal time intervals over the span of a month while the system was being refined, with the prompt “Draw a unicorn in TikZ”. We can see a clear evolution in the sophistication of GPT-4’s drawings Gi

Oh not the "like a human" again. But would you really allow any human on every zoom call ? I think this is a good example where this analogy breaks pretty obviously.
