@DrewKadel@social.coop This seems squarely in "Chinese Room" territory. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room)
The main troubling questions if you accept this approach: "Where *does* understanding/meaning reside?" and "What *specifically* makes humans distinctive?"

@alakest@mstdn.social @DrewKadel@social.coop I think the point that is being missed is that language processing is just the tip of the iceberg, gpt4 is already multi-modal, can "reason" through objectives like how to get a human to fill out a recaptcha form on its behalf, so it's good to understand how LLMs work, but the results will go far beyond what we see happening currently, and it doesn't matter if the "reasoning" is human-like or a solution to a probability equation https://cdn.openai.com/papers/gpt-4.pdf
