Yeah bro, these things don't think shit. The data set of the glorified autocomplete is just different.
I have evidence that they do use the same dataset. When asked in german, my llm answers in broken german that suspiciously looks like it was translated from another language. If it only used german training data for this, it would have proper grammar.
Humans aren't special, never have been. Thinking is just another natural process that machines can also be made to do.
Pfft! typical antihuman thinking! I've heard enough of this human's aren't special propaganda. I've tried the hyped Markov chain and usually it has a strong bias towards European languages and a much lower effectivity when asked in languages of the global south, which checks out with the availability of the training data and the biases of the people training these black boxes.
I believe actual thinking is non-computational but also that artificial neural nets can be made to emulate it at a lossless quality and that text based GPT models are basically year 1 Mp3 quality.
But lossless isn't lossless. It's just digitally lossless. The metaphor here would be more like analog conversion, where a FLAC copy of a vinyl isn't exactly the same as the vinyl.
I think. Idk. I'm overthinking the metaphor without really knowing what a soul is or anything.
that was kind of the point of the metaphor. the best recording will never be a live performance
... and now I'm starting to overthink it. Thanks.
Very intriguing YouTube link you had btw
