Again, it is absolutely capable to come up with it's own logical stuff, hence my example. Stop saying it just copies existing stuff, that is simply wrong.
Sure, whatever.
Amazing reply, given the context.
I'm actually a domain expert on AI whilst your "assertive denial without a single counter-argument" answer to my simplified explanation together with your "understanding" of the subject matter shown in the post before that one, shows you're at the peak of the Dunning-Krugger curve on this domain and also that you do not use analytical thinking or the scientific method in any way form or shape when analysing a subject.
There is literally no point in explaining anything to somebody who reasons like that and is at that point of that curve.
You keep your strongly held "common sense" beliefs and I'll keep from wasting any more of my time.
this paper clearly says it is capable of original thought. It also "speaks" of it in high regard in other things.
Re-read it: it says AI is capable of "originality" and does not mention "thought" at all.
You're the one presuming that "originality" requires cognition and hence understood "originality" as meaning "original thought" even though they're different concepts (specifically the latter is a subset of the former).
In your interpretation of that paper you did the exact same logical mistake as you seem to be doing in your interpretation of LLMs - you made assumptions backed only by gut feeling thus taking a leap to reach a conclusion ultimately supported only by your gut feeling.
"electronic parrot" and outperforming almost all humans in creativity and originality is an extreme contrast to me, regardless of my misuse of terms. So I fail to understand what you want to say, since this contrast must be apparent to you too.
The original context of my comment was even more basic and to me proven by what the paper says: Those are not things it copied somewhere. Also, I still think there is no test to prove it can/can't think.
interesting, in my experience, it's only been good at repeating things, and failing on unexpected inputs - it's able to answer pretty accurately if a small number is even or odd, but not if it's a large number, which indicates it's not reasoning but parroting answers to me
do you have example prompts where it showed clear logical reasoning?
Examples showing that it comes up with it's own solutions to an answer? Just ask it something that could not have been on the Internet before. Professor talking about AGI in GPT 4
Personal examples would be to code python to solve a 2D thermal heat flux problem given some context and constraints.
well, i just tried it, and its answer is meh --
i asked it to transcribe "zenquistificationed" (made up word) in IPA, it gave me /ˌzɛŋˌkwɪstɪfɪˈkeɪʃənd/, which i agree with, that's likely how a native english speaker would read that word.
i then asked it to transcribe that into japaense katakana, it gave me "ゼンクィスティフィカションエッド" (zenkwisuthifikashon'eddo), which is not a great transcription at all - based on its earlier IPA transcription, カション (kashon') should be ケーシュン (kēshun'), and the エッド (eddo) part at the end should just, not be there imo, or be shortened to just ド (do)
this paper says it is capable of original thought. It also "speaks" of it in high regard in other things. That is also my experience using it for... over a year?! now.
