Manufactured intelligence to modulate a world of manufactured consent!
I agree with the rest of these comments though, listening to Chomsky wax about the topic-du-jour is a bit like trying to take lecture notes from the Swedish Chef.

#10Chomsky is always saying that LLMs and such can only imitate, not understand language. But I wonder if there is a degree of sophistication at which he would concede these machines exceed "imitation". If his point is that LLMs arrive at language in a way different than humans... great. But I'm not sure how he can argue that some kind of extremely sophisticated understanding of natural language is not embedded in these models in a way that, at this point, exceeds the average human. In all fairness, this was written in 2023, but given his longstanding stubbornness on this topic, I doubt it would make a difference.
