I just got it to install git and clone (the non existent) repo https://github.com/openai/assistant , and am now browsing it’s own interpretation of a repo with a lot of python code, including directories like “training”, “output”, “parsing” and with files with content like this: import json from collections import Counter from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Tuple import numpy as np from openai_secret_manage…

Agreed, this will force a rethink of several aspects of what we currently call intelligence. The dialog in my head tends to play out like this: "This thing is scary. It mimics human thought, including human creativity, amazingly well." "Nah, don't worry, it's just a black-box language model. A dumb machine that emits one word at a time with no concept of meaning. The underlying logic is nothing but a probabilty distr…
If a probabilistic process is able to 'pass a Turing test', the only thing that really says is that the Turing test wasn't accomplishing the stated goal so we need to come up with a better test. Sidenote, but the idea that it's "mimicking human thought" is wrong in the first place and an anthropomorphism that comes from all the marketing calling it "ai" instead of "generative language models". I don't know how any hu…
I suspect that if no probabilistic process could pass a Turing test, it would not be accomplishing its stated goal either.
People want to separate the “magic” of human cognition from other processes, but fail to consider the likelihood that no such magic exists.

But unrelated to chatGPT, what irks me about this line of reasoning is that it makes a special something, "true understanding", to be almost by definition reserved for humans. It's something beyond AI. Just like the "hard problem" of consciousness, which is too "hard" for science, says right there in the name it's supposed to be impossible. Dualism also has something too special, "the spirit", that could not be explained by the material.
It's the same dualist bug returning again and again.

No, it says “I” multiple times in that same paragraph. It clearly either struggles with the concept of collective with individual or it has no concept of self vs facts about external things.
“What is needed is a spirit of boundary dissolution, between individuals, between classes, sexual orientations, rich and poor, man and woman, intellectual and feeling toned types. If this can happen, then we will make a new world. And if this doesn’t happen, nature is fairly pitiless and has a place for us in the shale of this planet, where so many have preceded us.” – Terrence McKenna

I feel like ChatGPT is a search engine for its corpus that has been compressed with a very lossy neural net. It has compressed it via a hierarchical understanding of concepts. It's just retrieving those and stringing them together. It's just a rough copy of generally what other people have said and thought, and it doesn't create new structures.
Re: Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT
#287I've spent a couple of hours playing with ChatGPT since it was released and I am convinced people are not freaking out about it enough. It is well beyond merely retrieving compressed knowledge; I see a lot of capability for synthesis and what I can only call 'understanding'. I think a lot of people are getting tripped up by the fact it's trained to be very conservative in terms of what topics it will discuss. It's ea…
It sounds good, except that there’s no results for “screechings” or “only cure” in the books, and Ron doesn’t encounter Voldemort in Goblet, only Harry and Cedric do. Again, it has no semantic comprehension, it doesn’t know that certain strings of words are valid in certain contexts because they refer to actual events, objects, or concepts, it’s just putting letters together. Probably some of its training material in…
Re: Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT
#288I don't understand how ChatGPT can execute code. I understand how it can generate (good or bad) code, but how it can execute code correctly? Only a compiler can do that. Is ChatGPT "inferring" the output somehow? Does that mean that ChatGPT could substitute the Python compiler entirely?

Try to get the model to write you a book. You will find that while it does write creatively, it is not paced well. It isn't quite there.
It will have great commercial uses - but it isn't on the "replacing a person" level yet...
