I wonder if part of the reason I’m unimpressed with LLMs is that I can generate plausible nonsense at line rate without mechanical assistance.
@david_chisnall Chomsky also cautions that large-language models (LLMs) cannot distinguish between real and imaginary languages, and he makes reference to Aristotle's distinction between the possession of knowledge, versus the use of it, in his argument.
I am not a cognitive scientist or a linguist (I have held my PhD in IP networking for a decade now) but I tend to agree with him. https://chomsky.info/20230503-2/
