  • An LLM is like a human’s speech center severed from the rest of their brain, including the parts responsible for consciousness, reason, and memory. I think current level LLMs on the scale of ChatGPT are equivalent in intelligence to a chicken. Chickens are smart. They’re also really dumb. It’s a specialised intelligence. LLMs are basically animals, just specialised for something completely different than all extant biological animals.

    Anyway, I think it’s worth having a conversation about limiting the use of ANNs on vegan grounds.


  • Autocomplete is usually an algorithm. LLMs are neural nets. There’s a fundamental technical distinction.

    But that’s not relevant, because we’re not talking about the technical details of LLMs. We’re talking about the technical details of human consciousness. And unless you can fully explain where human consciousness comes from, this debate is not settled.
