I’m usually the one saying “AI is already as good as it’s gonna get, for a long while.”

This article, in contrast, is quotes from folks making the next AI generation - saying the same.

    I don’t think your brain can be reasonably compared with an LLM, just like it can’t be compared with a calculator.

      LLMs are based on neural networks which are a massively simplified model of how our brain works. So you kind of can as long as you keep in mind they are orders of magnitude more simple.

        At some point it becomes so “simplified” it’s arguably just not the same thing, even conceptually.

          It is conceptually the same thing. A series of interconnected neurons with a firing threshold and weighted connections.

          The simplification comes with how the information is transmitted and how our brain learns.

          Many functions in the human body rely on quantum mechanical effects to function correctly. So to simulate it properly each connection really needs to be its own super computer.

          But it has been shown to be able to encode information in a similar way. The learning the part is not even close.
