#430 – Charan Ranganath: Human Memory, Imagination, Deja Vu, and False Memories

But I'm not necessarily choosing, but I'm directing that exploration and allowing people to move their eyes and integrate that information gave them something that the computer vision models weren't able to do. So somehow integrating information across time and getting less information at each step gave you more out of the process.

Yeah, at the same time, people are terrible at detecting changes that can happen in the environment if they're not attending in the right way, if their predictive model is too strong. So you have these weird things where the machines can do better than the people. It's not that it's like, so this is the thing is people go, oh, the machines can do this stuff that's just like humans.

It's like, well, the machines make different kinds of mistakes than the people do. And I will never be convinced unless I that, you know, we've replicated human. I don't even like the term intelligence because it is a stupid concept. But it's like I don't think we've replicated human intelligence unless I know that the simulator is making exactly the same kinds of mistakes that people do.

Because people make characteristic mistakes. They have characteristic biases. They have characteristic like, you know. heuristics that we use, and those, I have yet to see evidence that ChatGPT will do that.

Well, it's interesting for me because when I was a child, I was actually told my school, I don't know if it came from a school psychologist, they did do some testing on me, I know, for like IQ and stuff like that. Or if it just came from teachers who hated me, but they told my parents that I had ADHD. And so this was, of course, in the 70s. So basically, they said like,

He has poor motor control, and he's got ADHD, and there were social issues. So I could have been put a year ahead in school, but then they said, oh, but he doesn't have the social capabilities. Right. So I still ended up being like, you know, an outcast even in my own grade.
