Thank you Captain Obvious! Only those who think LLMs are like "little people in the computer" didn't knew this already.

Yeah, well there are a ton of people literally falling into psychosis, led by LLMs. So it’s unfortunately not that many people that already knew it.

This has been known for years, this is the default assumption of how these models work.

You would have to prove that some kind of actual reasoning capacity has arisen as... some kind of emergent complexity phenomenon.... not the other way around.

Corpos have just marketed/gaslit us/themselves so hard that they apparently forgot this.

So, what your saying here is that the A in AI actually stands for artificial, and it's not really intelligent and reasoning.

Huh.

Of course, that is obvious to all having basic knowledge of neural networks, no?

This sort of thing has been published a lot for awhile now, but why is it assumed that this isn't what human reasoning consists of? Isn't all our reasoning ultimately a form of pattern memorization? I sure feel like it is. So to me all these studies that prove they're "just" memorizing patterns don't prove anything other than that, unless coupled with research on the human brain to prove we do something different.
