Imagine SQL but the queries mostly write themselves and database is just entirety of human knowledge with no formalization. If you were to create such thing 7 years ago you'd say somebody expects a miracle out of you. I don't get why so many people have trouble recognizing it now as such.
- lolakutty 6d agoYes, it is a very efficient search tool for existing data..
- scotty79 6d agoComming back to SQL analogy... When you make a view over existing data tables that calculates something novel did you extend the amount of existing data? Because AIs are sort of like that. Creating views of existing data no human has ever came up with. Views that might unlock new even more surprising and useful views. They are sort of materialized views because we are writing down what LLMs came up with. So they are new data tables. Derived, true. But possibly novel and unlocking something else.
- lolakutty 6d agoSorry. I don't agree that it "create" views autonomously. A human has to create a view in a database. In the case of LLM, a human has to create a "prompt" that the LLM just continue, based on the patterns humans has created in the past.
- scotty79 4d agoYeah, I see you are set in your ways. Maybe in a year of two of experiening frontier AIs firsthand you'll come around.
