LLMs don’t really ‘know’ anything though, right?
It’s a billion monkeys on a billion rigged typewriters.
When the output is a correct answer or pleasing sonnet, the monkeys don’t collectively or individually understand the prompt or the response.
Humans just tweak the typewriters to make it more likely the output will be more often reasonable.
That’s my personal conclusion lately. LLMS will be really cool, really helpful and really dangerous… but I don’t think they’ll be really very close to intelligent.
