Most humans don't reason. They just parrot shit too. The design is very human.
I hate this analogy. As a throwaway whimsical quip it'd be fine, but it's specious enough that I keep seeing it used earnestly by people who think that LLMs are in any way sentient or conscious, so it's lowered my tolerance for it as a topic even if you did intend it flippantly.
LLMs deal with tokens. Essentially, predicting a series of bytes.
Humans do much, much, much, much, much, much, much more than that.
No. They don't. We just call them proteins.
Thata why ceo love them. When your job is 90% spewing bs a machine that does that is impressive
Yeah I've always said the the flaw in Turing's Imitation Game concept is that if an AI was indistinguishable from a human it wouldn't prove it's intelligent. Because humans are dumb as shit. Dumb enough to force one of the smartest people in the world take a ton of drugs which eventually killed him simply because he was gay.
I've heard something along the lines of, "it's not when computers can pass the Turing Test, it's when they start failing it on purpose that's the real problem."
I think that person had to choose between the drugs or hard core prison of the 1950s England where being a bit odd was enough to guarantee an incredibly difficult time as they say in England, I would've chosen the drugs as well hoping they would fix me, too bad without testosterone you're going to be suicidal and depressed, I'd rather choose to keep my hair than to be horny all the time
Yeah we’re so stupid we’ve figured out advanced maths, physics, built incredible skyscrapers and the LHC, we may as individuals be less or more intelligent but humans as a whole are incredibly intelligent
