I think AI is neat.
How do you know for sure your brain is not doing exactly the same thing? Hell, being autistic, many social interactions are just me trying to guess what will get me approval without any understanding lol.
Also really fitting that Photon chose this for a placeholder right now:
I once ran an LLM locally using Kobold AI. Said thing has an option to show the alternative tokens for each token it puts out, and what their probably for being chosen was. Seeing this shattered the illusion that these things are really intelligent for me. There's at least one more thing we need to figure out before we can build an AI that is actually intelligent.
It's cool what statistics can do, though.
That's actually pretty neat. I tried Kobold AI a few months ago but the novelty wore off quickly. You made me curious, I'm going to check out that option once I get home. Is it just a toggleable opyiont option or do you have to mess with some hidden settings?
Just as I was about to give up, it somehow worked: https://imgchest.com/p/9p4ne9m9m4n I didn't really do anything different this time around, so no idea why it didn't work at first.
It's been about a year since I saw the probabilities. I took another look at it just now, and while I can find the toggle in the settings, I can't find the context menu where the probabilities are shown.
As someone who has loves Asimov and read nearly all of his work.
I absolutely bloody hate calling LLM's AI, without a doubt they are neat. But they are absolutely nothing in the ballpark of AI, and that's okay! They weren't trying to make a synethic brain, it's just the culture narrative I am most annoyed at.
I look at all these kids glued to their phones and I ask 'Where's the Frankenstein Complex now that we really need it?"
So... LLMS are... teenagers?
If an LLM is just regurgitating information in a learned pattern and therefore it isn't real intelligence, I have really bad news for ~80% of people.
LLMs are a step towards AI in the same sense that a big ladder is a step towards the moon.
