Well, is it wrong here?

Here, let's ask GPT4 itself since you've decided it's suddenly an okay source:

Your statement is correct in asserting that the vector representation in a language model is not an abstract representation. It's purely a mathematical construct. However, saying it's "unrelated to anything that actually exists" might be an overstatement. These vectors do capture statistical patterns in human language, which are reflections of human thought and culture. They're just not capable of the deep, nuanced understanding that comes from human experience.

I accept it's an overstatement. But it is neither "incredibly wrong," nor is it thought. (Or intelligence.)

So you admit that you were wrong?

[–] Veraticus@lib.lgbt -1 points 1 year ago

I was in this case -- but the overall point I made is still correct. If winning this minor battle is what you were seeking, congratulations. You are no closer to understanding the truth of this or what we were actually talking about. Not that that was either your point or within your capabilities.
