Dear Kevin: AI models don't contain all of human knowledge. They don't even contain, for example, the complete curricula of the least comprehensive K-12 program.
- sebzim4500 2mo agoThat's a really interesting claim, can you give an example of a question that could reasonably be on a K-12 exam that a frontier model can't answer?
- criddell 2mo agoI learned to drive in a drivers ed course at school in tenth grade. There's also home ec, wood shop, metal shop, auto shop, sculpture, choir, theater arts, marching band, phys ed.
- solumunus 2mo agoSurely the ability to drive or work wood is separate to the knowledge required to gain the ability? An LLM can explain how to drive, how a car works, wood working processes… Some knowledge is difficult to communicate through text, and consumption of text might be a poor way to gain the ability to use it, but the knowledge is there?
- criddell 2mo agoThe knowledge could be contained in a book yet we would never say a book can drive a car. I know how a violin works yet I would never claim to know how to play violin and if you put one in my hands it would become painfully clear that I know almost nothing about violins other than some trivia.
