Have they really mastered language or are they mimicking it.

Do Submarines swim like fish?

Have planes mastered flight or are they mimicking it ? Can you mimick flight ? Is that a distinction that has any meaning ?

  • Yes. Planes don't fly the same way that birds do.

    They are go up in the air like birds but what they are doing to get up & be up in the sky is very different.

    Just like LLMs, planes are way less energy efficient than birds. Just like how Human brains are way more efficient than Convents & LLMs

    • You didn't answer my question. I didn't ask you whether planes flew like birds do. I asked you if planes are "mimicking" flight and if that's a statement that makes any sense at all.

If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, is it a duck?

  • We haven't made machines that replace animals. A submarine can't do quick precision movement to pick up tiny objects like a fish, a plane can't do quick precision movement to fly through a forest and land gracefully on a branch like a bird.

    The current machine intelligence is still clumsy like that, it can solve some problems but it is still far from the real thing.
