I tend to think of it in reverse: not that LLMs are intelligent, but that humans are more empty than we…think we are.


LLM is a probabilistic moron machine, it's virtually undistinguishable from a non-probabilistic human moron


I think that reveals your cynicism more than it provides any useful insight about intelligence.


No, it reveals that he is older than you. Not every insight needs to be useful.


> Not every insight needs to be useful.

Don’t they still need to be correct to be an insight? I don’t share his cynical opinion that “humans are more empty than we…think we are”.


If it helps I intended “empty” in a positive Zen sort of way, not as in an abyss. The humanness is in the listener, not the inner talker.


Wow I guess it takes one to know one?
