#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

The plugin that we have for ChatGPT, it does that routinely.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

It will send the thing in.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

It will get a result.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

It will discover.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

The LLM will discover itself that the result is not plausible.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

And it will go back and say, oh, I'm sorry.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

It's very polite.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

And it goes back and says, I'll rewrite that piece of code.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

And then it will try it again.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

and get the result.

The other thing that's pretty interesting is when you're just running, so one of the new concepts that we have, we invented this whole idea of notebooks back 36 years ago now.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

And so now there's the question of sort of how do you combine this idea of notebooks where you have text and code and output

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

How do you combine that with the notion of chat and so on?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

And there's some really interesting things there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

Like, for example, a very typical thing now is we have these notebooks where as soon as the – if the thing produces errors, if they run this code and it produces messages and so on,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

the LLM automatically not only looks at those messages, it can also see all kinds of internal information about stack traces and things like this.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

And it can then, it does a remarkably good job of guessing what's wrong.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

In other words, it's looking at things.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

It's sort of interesting.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#376 – Stephen Wolfram: ChatGPT and the Nature of Truth, Reality & Computation

It's kind of a typical sort of AI-ish thing that it's able to have more sensory data than we humans are able to have because it's able to look at a bunch of stuff that we humans would kind of glaze over looking at, and it's able to then come up with, oh, this is the explanation of what's happening.
