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.

can’t remember where i saw it but recently read a post that basically stated that given a specific dataset, all/any LLMs trained on it converged to the same set of “understanding” capabilities

which proves your point: theyre data compression/navigation tools

if anything their development makes me even more bullish on privacy/data reduction

their existence also makes the right data even more valuable, which is something i think about a lot as a professional “new explanation creator”
