It's because BLOOM is undertrained, you can prune a lot of weights in BLOOM and it doesn't impact performance. Look at Chinchilla paper[1], 70B model outperforms 175B GPT-3 model. https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.15556
In general, most giant LLMs are extremely undertrained at this time. Consider that most of the gains in RoBerta vs bert were from just continuing to train.

Can someone tell me what the hell they use ChatGPT for? I tried it a few times and it always confidently gave me wrong results to basic things. What is this thing supposedly “disrupting”? Is it really just marketing cranking out metric tons of spam blogs?
I have been using it as a search replacement for most of the past month and only found two subtly wrong answers. This covers legal questions, researching product differences, wiring diagrams, suggesting books to read, correcting misremembered quotes, and about a hundred other tasks. Of course still relying on google in the background, but increasingly rarely, and presuming all the negative commentary we've been seein…
I talked to it about the NYC subway. Every time I nudged it with a prompt to fix a factual error or omission, it would revise something I didn't ask for and introduce new errors. It was inconsistent in astounding ways. Ask it what stations the F and A have in common twice and you'll get two wrong answers. Ask it to make a list putting services in categories, it will put the same service into more than one contradictory category. Point this out, it will remake the list and forget to include that service entirely. And that's when it isn't confidently bullshitting about which trains share track and which direction they travel.
Bullshit is worse than a lie. For a lie is the opposite of the truth and thus always uncovered. But bullshit is uncorrelated with the truth, and may thus turn out to be right, and may thus cause you to trust the word of the bullshiter far more than they deserve.

Your entire post is questionable the moment you write something like "Google as we knew it is already dead". Yeah, no.

Even if it has not so much thing to do with intelligence?
I’m not sure about your definition of intelligence. Perhaps you think I’m saying ChatGPT and generative agents are somehow conscious. I don’t conflate consciousness with intelligence here. I can’t say whether or not ChatGPT is conscious (although I doubt it), but it’s pretty clearly intelligent by a reasonable definition. It’s an agent which is extremely effective at playing its game. A game which is incredibly open…

I also use it to generate utility functions for stuff I can't be bothered to write, like find the next valid IP address in a list of IPs.
I also used it a few times to learn about the history of countries like china and cambodia.
Even a few time when I've been banging my head against the wall with some faulty code, I asked it what was wrong and it told me exactly.
Re: Open source solution replicates ChatGPT training process
#86> On a single multi-GPUs server, even with the highest-end A100 80GB GPU, PyTorch can only launch ChatGPT based on small models like GPT-L (774M), due to the complexity and memory fragmentation of ChatGPT. Hence, multi-GPUs parallel scaling to 4 or 8 GPUs with PyTorch's DistributedDataParallel (DDP) results in limited performance gains. Where are these numbers coming from? An 80GB A100 GPU is certainly more than capa…
Is LAION starting a community project to rate model outputs? I didn't see anything on their site.

I'm going to echo other people's skepticism and give a concrete example that's easy to reproduce and which has virtually no dependence on real experience in the physical world. Try asking it about public transit wayfinding trivia. Pure text matching, well defined single letter / digit service names, closed system of semantic content. All there is are services and stations and each service is wholly defined by the lis…
ChatGPT is immune to the socratic method. It's like it has a model of the world that was developed by processing its training data but it is unable to improve its conceptual model over the course of a conversation.
These are not the kinds of logical failures that a human would make. It may be the most naturalistic computing system we've ever seen but when pushed to its limits it does not "think" like a human at all.

The key with Chat is that you need to always validate any statements of fact (or code) - as hallucination is a pretty consistent 30% or so of the queries I send it. Google is probably used 75% of the time when I need to go double check a fact to make sure it's actually based on reality.
