By that standard (and it is a good standard), none of these "AI" things are doing any thinking

musical goalposts, gotta love it.

These LLM's just exhibited agency.

Swallow your pride.

  • "Does it generalize past the training data" has been a pre-registered goalpost since before the attention transformer architecture came on the scene.

    •   >'thinking' vs 'just recombinating things
      

      If there is a difference, and LLM's can do one but not the other...

      Then what the fuck are they doing.

      Learning is thinking, reasoning, what have you.

      Move goalposts, re-define words, it won't matter.
