It's weird to see some folks acting like LLMs are the path to actual artificial intelligence.

Call me when an LLM can make deductions and have original thoughts without being fed the entirety of the Internet first. That's not how actually intelligent humans work. Of course compressing the entirety of human knowledge into a fuzzy completion machine will make it sound intelligent. You're basically making a lossy encoded compressed version of things actually intelligent people have said, with a modicum of ability to generalize by simple association and statistics.

The Turing test breaks down when you throw enough Big Data at it. Congratulations, you've beat the test. You haven't created real intelligence though, you used big data to build a parrot with a huge vocabulary.

I don’t think its lack of intelligence means it’s not without use. I appreciate LLMs exactly for that compression of knowledge on topics that I don’t have much context on, or need some guidance on how to approach or start learning. I find it helps seed me with ideas or starting points. Then I can do the fine tuning and go from there

I think I had too many negatives in that first sentence 😂
