MODERATORS
I'll check out that podcast but I'm deeply skeptical that one LLM can correct another since neither of them truly understands anything: it's all statistics. Very detailed stats but still stats.
And stats will be wrong.
Before chatgpt released most Google AI engineers were looking into alternatives to LLMs as the limitations of an LLM were increasingly clear.
They're convincing facsimiles of intelligence and a good tool for maybe 80% of basic uses.
But I agree with the consensus: they're a dead end in our search for intelligence and their output is vastly overestimated
I don't know if you've already found it, but I'm pretty sure this is the episode.
Appreciate this link. Grabbed it on Spotify
Follow-up: I found the episode very unconvincing.
A few points:
He seems like a salesman who has fallen for his own pitch.
Thanks for listening and echoing some of my own doubts. I was kind of getting the feeling that MS Researchers were too invested in gpt and not being realistic about the limitations. But I hadn't really seen others trying the two instance method and discarding it as not useful.
Here's a recent story about hallucinations: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/29/tech/ai-chatbot-hallucinations/index.html
The tldr is nobody has solved it and it might not be solvable.
Which when you think of the structure being LLMs... that makes sense. They're statistical models. They don't have a grounding in any sort of truth. If the input hits the right channels it will output something undefined.
The Microsoft guy tries to spin this as "creativity!" but creativity requires intent. This is more like a random number generator outputting your tarot and you really buying into it.
They're treated like something more than they are because we anthromorphise everything, and in our brains we assume anything that can string a sentence together is intelligent. "Oh, it can form a sentence! That must mean it's pretty much already general intelligence since we gauge the intelligence of humans by the sentences they say!"
