You know?
And it's like, what's going on?
Like are these are these people saying that they're gonna get really smart?
Like are they full of it?
And I'm like, well, I think that there are actually some pretty good reasons why they're smart in particular ways and dumb in particular ways.
And
For better or for worse, uh probably worse.
I I think that the ways in which they are dumb, they're not going to stay dumb.
Yeah, so I think there's a number of reasons for this.
But one is just the way that they're trained.
So if you if you take a model GPT-4, which is the main model behind Chat GPT, it's trained by sort of ingesting like the whole internet, just tons and tons of of data, text data.
And it's just, you know, you know, in some ways a fancy autocomplete.
Like, can it predict the next token, the next word, the next sentence?
Um and so one way to think of this is this is sort of like
Learning by imitation, right?
Where you, you know, imagine that you have read every textbook in the whole world.
Like you might be able to know a lot of things, and you'd you you would you wouldn't just memorize them, right?
You'd be able to sort of like make generalizations and be like, oh, this is kind of how math works, this is how chemistry works, oh, these principles are the same.
And so language models can learn all of these associations and they get pretty smart, but in some ways it's kind of like book smarts, right?
And so when you have them try to do things.
