  • Doesn’t load for me. I work with ANNs solving problems and compare it with animals doing a similar thing for my PhD. You can see a lot of similarities, and can model some animal behavior after it. However, even with the presence of similarities you can’t completely say it thinks “the same”, but you can say it is functionally equivalent: If you have two functions that give the same output for the same inputs, then they are the same function for that domain, same goes for brains.

    Just to be clear, LLMs have some similar thinking patterns with what we know about the neural activity of animal brains, but I wouldn’t say it is the same, and saying they think “like humans” is very subjective.

    One thing that is easier to notice is that they struggle with problems that require some form of recursive thinking, which is something a human can do. They can’t simply go back to correct their beliefs, once they spit something out it stays there, so they have to commit to it.





  • This isn’t really about the invisible hand of the market, I was talking about a single company. It costs money to keep those models up, which DDG itself hosts. If we were taking about Google, for example, then I could see the argument since it is a monopoly and my line of reasoning wouldn’t work.

    I’m not trying to be troll as you accuse, I’m just trying to think from different perspectives and have something less sensitive to ideology.

    We don’t find out the truth by agreeing with everything that panders to our beliefs.
