You can find people making such claims on HN, and some of them also claim that it is based on their personal experience with GPT-4. It boggles my mind, as well.

Superiority of human intelligence must not be questioned.

It's not even that. GPT-4 is clearly not superior either way.

I think it's more about the uniqueness of human intelligence. If you see it as a hard line that defines humans as distinct from other things, then similar behavior that is exhibited by things that are "not supposed to" have anything like it has to be explained away, somehow. Hence the Chinese room argument etc.

I've noticed if I give chat GPT an algorithm it gives me consistent results when it shows it's work but if I ask it not to show it's work and just give me the answer. It consistently gives me incorrect answers even when I ask it to follow an algorithm that I gave it. I suppose this is similar to humans and probably why my school teachers always told me to show my work, but I'm curious if this has been documented and…

LLMs don't have an inner monologue. By their very nature they only "know" what they have written down and must infer the final answer from that token by token. They fundamentally can't do certain things such as complex iteration or track back. When you ask for chain of thought thinking, you allow the LLM to create a "buffer space" and break down the task into more manageable substeps thereby improving the quality of…

I feel like this can be Implemented in the UI:

First you wrap the user query with "the user asked you: ... . What are the reasoning steps you need?" and then you prompt with "considering `` now answer "

Obviously this is clearly hackable so it would need improvements.
