I hold my stance that LLMs are stochastic parrots.
Making the parrots ever more complex and training on ever more data produced by intelligent, creative beings may make them more useful or convincing but does at no point give rise to intelligence or creativity.
- beering 2mo agoWith such high standards, most HN commenters also do not have intelligence nor creativity. I don’t think we can set the bar that high.
- tctcd6 2mo agoComical human arrogance...
- qnleigh 2mo agoI won't touch creativity, but if this and other results like it do not demonstrate intelligence, what does? How was it able to solve problems that specialist mathematicians have tried and failed to solve for years?
- barnacs 2mo agoMathematics is a language. If anything, it's much more well defined and formal than most others. Train on enough examples and statistical autocomplete gets you places. I'm surprised how anyone would even consider this intelligence?
- in-silico 2mo agoWhat would evidence of "intelligence" or "creativity" look like for you?
