Baldur Bjarnason"LLMs are here to stay," is like saying that the modem-based internet of the 90s was forever. It was a largely unusable piece-of-shit tech that was manifestly incapable of delivering beyond a fraction of what the dot-com bubble promised, but it prompted investment in fixing the one thing that prevented that promise: bandwidth.
Barry Schwartz đź«–@baldur Yesterday I proved once again that "AI" isn't even an attempt at actual intelligence, by asking one in Swedish whether it spoke Swedish. It didn't even recognize I was using a different language.
But the real proof is that human intelligence is obviously not language-based. Otherwise other highly intelligent mammals—especially great apes—would all have recursively structured language!
LLMs will NEVER be able to do actual mathematics. They can pass high school "math" tests. Big deal.
