lol is this news? I mean we call it AI, but it’s just LLM and variants it doesn’t think.

Just look at his username he is just a troll

stochastic parrots. all of them. just upgraded “soundex” models.

this should be no surprise, of course!

I use LLMs as advanced search engines. No ads or sponsored results.

And this is relevant to this post in what regard?

90% of Lemmy comments lately are not subject related and only about how OP is not leftist, not pro-israel, pro-palestine, pro-sjw enough. Is this what Lemmy aims to be?

thanks alot kind person for taking my side

No, and to make that work using the current structures we use for creating AI models we’d probably need all the collective computing power on earth at once.

There are search engines that do this better. There’s a world out there beyond Google.

The "Apple" part. CEOs only care what companies say.

Would like a link to the original research paper, instead of a link of a screenshot of screenshot

This is why I say these articles are so similar to how right wing media covers issues about immigrants.

There's some weird media push to convince the left to hate AI. Think of all the headlines for these issues. There are so many similarities. They're taking jobs. They are a threat to our way of life. The headlines talk about how they will sexual assault your wife, your children, you. Threats to the environment. There's articles like this where they take something known as twist it to make it sound nefarious to keep the story alive and avoid decay of interest.

Then when they pass laws, we're all primed to accept them removing whatever it is that advantageous them and disadvantageous us.

It's not relevant to the post... But what the fuck

Just fancy Markov chains with the ability to link bigger and bigger token sets. It can only ever kick off processing as a response and can never initiate any line of reasoning. This, along with the fact that its working set of data can never be updated moment-to-moment, means that it would be a physical impossibility for any LLM to achieve any real "reasoning" processes.

The difference between reasoning models and normal models is reasoning models are two steps, to oversimplify it a little they prompt "how would you go about responding to this" then prompt "write the response"

It's still predicting the most likely thing to come next, but the difference is that it gives the chance for the model to write the most likely instructions to follow for the task, then the most likely result of following the instructions - both of which are much more conformant to patterns than a single jump from prompt to response.

This has been known for years, this is the default assumption of how these models work.

You would have to prove that some kind of actual reasoning capacity has arisen as... some kind of emergent complexity phenomenon.... not the other way around.

Corpos have just marketed/gaslit us/themselves so hard that they apparently forgot this.

There are ads but they're subtle enough that you don't recognize them as such.

I can envision a system where an LLM becomes one part of a reasoning AI, acting as a kind of fuzzy "dataset" that a proper neural network incorporates and reasons with, and the LLM could be kept real-time updated (sort of) with MCP servers that incorporate anything new it learns.

But I don't think we're anywhere near there yet.

This sort of thing has been published a lot for awhile now, but why is it assumed that this isn't what human reasoning consists of? Isn't all our reasoning ultimately a form of pattern memorization? I sure feel like it is. So to me all these studies that prove they're "just" memorizing patterns don't prove anything other than that, unless coupled with research on the human brain to prove we do something different.

Because it's a fear-mongering angle that still sells. AI has been a vehicle for scifi for so long that trying to convince Boomers that of won't kill us all is the hard part.

I'm a moderate user for code and skeptic of LLM abilities, but 5 years from now when we are leveraging ML models for groundbreaking science and haven't been nuked by SkyNet, all of this will look quaint and silly.
