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.

Well said, Jameson.

But... I think we need to go back (down?) a step first and answer what is natural intelligence?

One could argue that human intelligence is also the result of lossy encoding of OUR inputs via our sensors and we are also parroting our experiences. Even cognitive deductions, at a lower level, may just be outputs of complex algorithims being applied to that same input layer.

Additionally, when it comes to LLMs, once the parrot's vocabulary and ability to generalize exceeds our comprehension, then perhaps the label is just semantics.

It's a fascinating subject!

Nostr feels like the lightning ecosystem did a few years ago, and bitcoin did 10 years ago. An innovation that spawns experimentation. 🤙⚡️
