Just like humans are! Do you know what happens when a human grows up without any training by other humans? They are essentially feral, unable to communicate, maybe even unable to think the way we do.

[-] Veraticus@lib.lgbt 1 points 1 year ago

LLMs do not grow up. Without training they don’t function properly. I guess in this aspect they are similar to humans (or dogs or anything else that benefits from training), but that still does not make them intelligent.

What does it mean to "grow up"? LLMs get better at their tasks during training, just as humans do while growing up. You have to clearly define the terms you use.

[-] Veraticus@lib.lgbt 1 points 1 year ago

You used the term and I was using it with the same usage you were. Why are you quibbling semantics here? It doesn’t change the point.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, I used the term because "growing up" has a well-defined meaning with humans. It doesn't with LLMs, so I didn't use it with LLMs.

[-] Veraticus@lib.lgbt 1 points 1 year ago

Did you have a point or are you only trying to argue semantics?

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

LLMs do not grow up.

You should ask yourself that question.

I don't know what your point was in asking that question, you should know yourself.
