Sure, but it is a token predictor, and it is not intelligent not because it works by predicting a token, but it shows dumb behavior...

LLMs are a great search tool. It searches connections in the collective human knowledge that humans have written down through all the years....

They are very good at it, and that is about it.

Putting LLMs in loops with tool calls has created tons of emergent behaviour beyond simply being a search tool

  • If you search randomness, you ll get any behavior that you can imagine. That does not mean that the tool is NOT doing a search.

    In the case of LLMs, it is not searching the whole of the randomness, but instead it just search among the grammatically correct sentences that is consistent with the existing patterns found in the existing written down human knowledge.
