    Does AlphaGo understand go? How about AlphaStar?

    When I say LLM’s can understand things, what I mean is that there’s semantic information encoded in the network. A demonstrable fact.

    You can disagree with that definition, but the point is that it’s absolutely not just autocomplete.

      No, and that definition has nothing in common with what the word means.

      Autocorrect has plenty of information encoded as artifacts of how it works. ChatGPT isn’t like autocorrect. It is autocorrect, and doesn’t do anything more.

        It’s fine if you think so, but then it’s a pointless argument over definitions.

        You can’t have a conversation with autocomplete. It’s qualitatively different. There’s a reason we didn’t have this kind of code generation before LLM’s.

            I am not sure of the relevance of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter is the cravings of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter

            Yeah, totally. Repeating the same nonsensical sentence over and over is also how I converse. 🙄
