They both use deep learning and gradient descent. Also both were made possible by availability of GPUs.

I'm aware of that, but I don't think this immediately lends itself to a prognosis of the form "LLMs and AlphaGo are deep learning neural networks running on GPUs; AlphaGo was tremendously successful in chess => LLMs will soon surpass humans".

I can consider the possibility that something coming out of GPU-based neural networks might one day surpass humans in intelligence, but I also believe there's reason to doubt it will be based on today's LLM architecture.

  • Maybe the connection the GP saw was in terms using their other instances for training. It is not exactly the same process, but there seems to be a hint of similarity to my - sadly - untrained eye.
