I was trying to do a memory test to see how far back 3.5 could recall information from previous prompts, but it really doesn’t seem to like making pseudorandom seeds. 😆

    Thankfully, any AI smart enough to be an overlord would be logical enough to recognize how basic LLMs are compared to real intelligence

      Doesn’t need to be that smart or logical, just more cunning than the currently ruling Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

      Based on current research, an LLM can change the “sentiment” of its output in response to changing the behavior of as little as a single neuron from among billions, meaning we might find ourselves facing an overlord with the emotional stability of… wait, how many neurons does it take to change the “sentiment” of the behavior in a human? Wouldn’t it be funny if by studying LLMs, we found out that it also takes a single neuron?

      I have yet to be given an example of something a “general” intelligence would be able to do that an LLM can’t do.

      Until I see a concrete example, I’ll continue to assume people are just afraid of there being real intelligence that isn’t human, so they’re actively repressing the recognition of it.

        Presenting…

        Something a general intelligence can do that an LLM can’t do:

        Why can’t it play it? Because LLM’s don’t have memory, so they can’t work with logic. They are the same as the little “next word predictor” in your phone’s keyboard. It just says what it thinks is the most probable next word based on previous words, it’s not actually thinking or understanding anything. So instead, we get moves that don’t make sense or are completely invalid.

        Nah LLMs are basically fancy autocomplete. They tack on extra layers to give it some fancy abilities, but it literally doesn’t know what it’s doing because it’s a statistical model
