If you consider the amount of text an LLM has to consume to replicate something approaching human like language you have to appreciate there is something else going on with our cognition. LLM's give responses that make statistical sense but humans can actually understand why one arrangement of words might not make sense over the other.
Yes, it's inefficient... and OpenAI and Google are losing exactly because of that.
There's open source models already out there that are rivaling ChatGPT and that you can train on your 10 year-old laptop in a day.
And this is just the beggining.
Also... maybe we should check how many words of exposure a kid gets throughout their life to get to the point to develop arguments such as ChatGPT's... because the thing is that... ChatGPT does know way more about many things than any human being will ever do. Like, easily thousands of times more.
Absolutely agreed, so long as protections are put in place to defang it as a weapon against labor (if few have leisure time or income to support tech development, I see great danger of stagnation). LLMs do clearly seem an important part in advancing towards real AI.
