Do you know any more about ChatGPT internals than those programmers know about the human brain?
Sure, I believe you can write down the equations for what is going on in each layer, but knowing how each activation is calculated from the previous layer tells you very little about what hundreds of billions of connections can achieve.

Yes, especially every time I have to explain what an LLM is or anytime I see a comment about how ChatGPT "reasoned" or "knew" or "understood" something when that clearly isn't how it works by OpenAI's own admission.
But even if that wasn't the case especially yes do I understand some random ML project more than programmers know about what constitutes human!
Honestly, I don’t see how anyone really paying attention can draw this conclusion. Take a look at the kinds of questions on the benchmarks and the AP exams. Independent reasoning is the key thing these tests try to measure. College entrance exams are not about memorization and regurgitation. GTP-4 scores a 1400 on the SAT.

No shit, a good quarter of the internet is SAT prep. Where do you think GPT got it's dataset?
i am so tired of seeing people who should know better think that this program can reason.
