Language is a it is an autonomous system, it's a self-con uh self-contained system, it has the rules contained within it to generate
Large language model don't know what they're talking about in any real sense.
Uh they they can talk about uh, you know, a sunset, they can talk about a taste, they can talk about all space and time and all of those things, and yet we would say they have no idea what they're talking about.
And we'd be right, in the sense that
They don't have a notion of red beyond the token and its relation to other tokens.
Now this then raises the obvious question, well, what do I mean what red is about?
Don't I think red refers to a quality of of perception?
And the answer is I do have a quality of perception.
There is something called red that my sensory system is aware of.
And then there's a token called red that
is used in conjunction with there's there's there's there's uh a sort of coherent
mapping between my uh sensory sensory perception of red and the linguistic red.
But
That doesn't mean that you need to understand what that word refers to.
You don't need to have the sensory qualitative concept of red in order to completely successfully use the word red.
And so these are compatible but dichotomous systems.
The sensory perceptual system and the linguistic system are ultimately, we can think of them as essential.
But I think that's a very important thing.
Uh but uh compatible or is that the right queer uh integrated?
But but they integrated.
