@theogrin@chaosfem.tw While I think it is possible to build something like an artificial mind, LLMs can only be a small piece of the whole puzzle. If we really want intelligent machines, we need to start with the low-level intelligence of simple animals like insects or worms, then slowly working up the complexity ladder until we reach something like the level of vertebrates. What #AI research has doing for most of the last ~70 years since the term "artificial intelligence" was invented, amounts to building the roof and the upper floors of the house before everything else. LLMs are a perfect example of that, building a language processing system without anything underneath. Autonomous cars or autonomous robot swarms are much more intelligent than any LLM, yet they're still pretty stupid if you compare them with actual animals.
