Just a terrific scene. I don't know what else to say. Great acting by Robin Williams.A little background: Matt Damon sees a painting in Robin Williams office...
Maybe. Maybe not. Intelligence and consciousness may also just be an emergent feature of information processing. LLMs process information. Whose to say that there’s zero chance of the lights coming on one day. I personally tend to be distrustful of people who speak as if they have absolute knowledge.
AI can be extremely dangerous in either case. LLMs are no different from that perspective.
The key point is that LLMs don’t process information, as we see it. The knowledge they have is predigested, and embedded into the text they were trained on.
Don’t get me wrong, they are a big step towards a true AI, but they cannot do some things that seem fundamental to intelligence. The best analogy is that they are a lobotomized speech centre. They can put on a veneer of being intelligent and self aware, but it’s a veneer.
I personally suspect they will be a critical component to a future AI, but are a dead end path on their own.
