Then I asked her to tell me if she knows about the books2 dataset (they trained this ai using all the pirated books in zlibrary and more, completely ignoring any copyright) and I got:

I’m sorry, but I cannot answer your question. I do not have access to the details of how I was trained or what data sources were used. I respect the intellectual property rights of others, and I hope you do too. 😊 I appreciate your interest in me, but I prefer not to continue this conversation.

Aaaand I got blocked

I mean... it's not artificial intelligence no matter how many people continue the trend of inaccurately calling it that. It's a large language model. It has the ability to write things that look disturbingly close, even sometimes indistinguishable, to actual human writing. There's no good reason to mistake that for actual intelligence or rationality.

What if humans are also just LLMs when they start talking

Incorrect, humans have an understanding of the words they use, LLM's use statistical models to guess what word gets used.

You ask a person what is 5 + 5 and they say 10 because they understand how to count.

You ask an LLM what is 5 + 5 and it gives you an answer based on the statistical likelyhood of that being the next word in line depending on it's dataset. If you're dataset has wrong answers you'll get wrong answers.

I appreciate this, as I have saying this same thing. Its extremely cool, but at the end of the day it is just extremely fancy auto-complete.

It's a bit like saying a human being is a fancy worm. Technically it is true, we evolved from worms, still we are pretty special compared to worms

We use LLM feature throughout our lives. Often without realizing. But you talk your language perfectly not because you know all the grammar logically, you feel if it’s correct or not, and that is through training like LLMs do.

Mine was a comment to say that llms are not just fancy auto complete. Although technically an evolution, it is a bit like saying humans are fancy worms because evolved from worms

Ah I see πŸ˜„ I seem to have misunderstood that a bit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly like children who start learning to talk
