It doesn't, who the hell cares if someone allowed it to break "predict whole text" into "predict part by part, and then "with rhyme, we start at the end". Sounds like a naive (not as in "simplistic", but as "most straightforward") way to code this, so given the task to write an automatic poetry producer, I would start with something similar. The whole thing still stands as fancy auto-complete
But how is this different from your average redditor?
Redditor as "a person active on Reddit"? I don't see where I was talking about humans. Or am I misunderstanding the question?
This dumbass is convinced that humans are chatbots likely because chatbots are his only friends.
Sounds scary. I read a story the other day about a dude who really got himself a discord server with chatbots, and that was his main place of "communicating" and "socializing"
This anecdote has the makings of a "men will literally x instead of going to therapy" joke.
On a more serious note though, I really wish people would stop anthropomorphisizing these things, especially when they do it while dehumanizing people and devaluing humanity as a whole.
But that's unlikely to happen. It's the same type of people that thought the mind was a machine in the first industrial revolution, and then a CPU in the third...now they think it's an LLM.
LLMs could have some better (if narrower) applications if we could stop being so stupid as to inject them into places where they are obviously counterproductive.
Hard agree in every point
You're making wild assumptions about people who disagree with your opinions. How ironic you accuse "them" of dehumanizing people.
But I do agree that this gets to the core of the matter, the shock of a piece of software being able to produce intelligent text while clearly not having general intelligence is quite the shock. Same with creativity, while the entertainment industry produced equally empty content slop using human labor it's a painful shock to our identity as humans. I suspect this is a reaction to disillusionment and the intellectual pain that comes from it.
My opinion on LLMs is rather nuanced, the worst possible outcome I can foresee is the anti-AI crowd helping the oligarchs to establish IP ownership of all LLM models and monopolizing the tools, so that only they can have access to the "means of generation". While the rest has to pay for the privilege of using it.
Dude, you're up two posts from here saying how people are LLMs.
I understand wanting to walk that back, but you did post it.
What the heck are you talking about?
You were doing this bullshit all over the thread too in various forms. But I'm sure it's "just a joke" now.
You must live in a alternative reality that you think that wasn't a joke! Or you just pretend to not know that was a joke to argue in bad faith and insult me. This is the real Trump derangement syndrome right here.
"Just a joke" is the last bastion of cowards. Own your crappy opinions. You clearly think these things are something more than they are.
You a fan of Trump too? Do you just pick things to like based on how much they suck?
Pathetic
Agreed!
