What makes actual human intelligence that different from a statistically accurate text/movement generation model?

    I don't compare millions of pieces of data and choose the one that is statistically correct. I analyse a question and answer based off of my understanding of the actual subject.

    LLMs don't understand shit, they text match and statistically poop out "correct" answers.

    Didn't you describe just how our brain is working?

    Wasn't that the point?
    To show current LLM models aren't the same system as our brain

    No, I meant

    I analyse a question and answer based off of my understanding of the actual subject.

    What does "understanding" mean here? Isn't it analysing millions pieces of data and giving answer that is statistically correct?

    Nah, and it isn't what LLMs are doing now

    LLMs just act on tokens and those are their limit in resolution.
    That's why they're so bad when it comes to rhyming or counting letters.

    They're not reasoning. And there is a difference between reasoning and giving it the statistical most probable next token - which doesn't have a meaning whatsoever

    The statistically accurate arithmetic average dice throw shows a solid 3.5

    A dice that always shows 3.5 is bad.

    So determinism? Llms are not deterministic.

    Is there a single reputable psychologist out there who believes that this is how humans operate?

    Note, I think that non-human intelligence is entirely possible, just not this particular technology.

    https://www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspace At a certain level it does seem were using a non deterministic statistical model to at least mimic true intelligence, though honestly nobody knows at this time the boundaries or complete differences. We're still on the bleeding edge of development. Also it's worth noting that most "ai systems" anyone would interact with are actually layers of models, not just a bare llm anymore. Tokenizers, linkers, etc.

    Thats the thing people don't get. Everyone keeps saying "LLMs are not AI", but forget that there is constant repeated layering of models, fliters, linkers, etc.... by developers to make them more efficient. At some point the integration of so many subsystems into one main system, will generate something that appears for all intents and purposes, to be AGI (or at least mimic it to a point where its hard to tell).

    Yeah. We're far far from the days of it just being a simple little language transformer. I don't know if it'll ever have the spark of consciousness, but it's certainly beginning to have the emulation of it.

    Now it sounds like I'm talking to an LLM.

    You didn't answer my question.

    Didn't know I was supposed to answer your question like a fucking llm. Figured this was a comment section for discussion. 🤷‍♂️

    You can be intelligent without being good at writing. However AI relies on text

    Good point. What do we rely on?

    Not everyone thinks with words. You're grasping at straws.
