Comment on Enshittification of ChatGPT
Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 1 day agoWhere is the world model you maintain? Can you point to it? You can’t - because the human mind is very much a black box just the same way as LLM’s are.
It’s in the form of distributed patterns across billions of parameters. It’s not like the world model was handed to it. It’s emergent consequence of massive scale pattern learning. It learned it from the data it was trained on. The only way to become good at prediction is to implicitly absorb how the world tends to behave — because otherwise it would guess wrong.

Not understanding the brain (note: said world model idea is something of a fabrication by the ai people, brains are distributed functional structures with many parts and roles) is not an equality with “ai” make. brains and llm do not function in the same way, this is a lie peddled by hype dealers.

Nobody here has claimed that brains and LLM’s work the same way.

something being a black box is not even slightly notable a feature of relation, it’s a statement about model detail; the only reason you’d make this comparison is if you want the human brain to seem equivalent to llm.
for example, you didnt make the claim: “The inner workings of Europa are very much a black box, just the same way as LLM’s are”

“The human mind is very much a black box just the same way as LLMs are” is a factually correct statement. You can’t look into a human brain for an exact explanation of why an individual did something any more than you can look into the inner workings of an LLM to explain why it said A rather than B. Claiming that my motive is to equate LLMs and human brains is not something I said - it’s something you imagined.
