I think the stochastic parrot criticism is a bit unfair. It is, in a way, technically true that LLMs are stochastic parrots, but this undersells their capabilities (winning gold on the international math olympiad, and all that). It's l

Yeah, it's a good point. The examples (jobs, loans, videos, ads) we give are more examples of how machine learning systems make choices that affect you, rather than how LLMs/generally intelligent systems do (which is what we rea

Yeah would also be interested to see the responses without RLHF. Not quite the same, but have you interacted with AI base models at all? They're pretty fascinating. You can talk to one on openrouter: https://openrouter.ai&#x

Yeah I wouldn't read too much into their response on the AI bubble question. They don't have access to any search tools or recent events so all they know is up until their knowledge cutoff (you can find this date online, if you&#x
