I think of LLMs like digital bugs, doing their thing, basically programmed.

They're just programmed with virtual life experience instead of a traditional programmer.

Back in the early 2000s CERN was able to simulate the brain of a flat worm. Actually simulate the individual neurons firing. A 100% digital representation of a flatworm brain. And it took up an immense amount of processing capacity for a form of life that basic, far more processor intensive than the most advanced AIs we currently have.

Modern AIs don't bother to simulate brains, they do something completely different. So you really can't compare them to anything organic.

2014, not early 2000s (unless you were talking about the century or something).

OpenWorm project, not CERN.

And it was run on Lego Mindstorm. I am no AI expert, but I am fairly certain that it is not "far more processor intensive than the most advanced AIs we currently have".

Citation needed on that comment of yours. Because I know for a fact that what I said is true. Go look it up.

Maybe you should be a little less sure of your "facts", and listen to what the world has to teach you. It can be marvelous.

This is the second comment I've seen from you where you confidently say something incorrect. Maybe stop trying to be orator of the objective and learn a little more first.

I think the claim that 24 year old technology is more computationally intensive than the ground breaking tech of the modern day needs the citation.
