I was trying to do a memory test to see how far back 3.5 could recall information from previous prompts, but it really doesn't seem to like making pseudorandom seeds. 😆

I have yet to be given an example of something a “general” intelligence would be able to do that an LLM can’t do.

Until I see a concrete example, I’ll continue to assume people are just afraid of there being real intelligence that isn’t human, so they’re actively repressing the recognition of it.

Something a general intelligence can do that an LLM can't do:

Why can't it play it? Because LLM's don't have memory, so they can't work with logic. They are the same as the little "next word predictor" in your phone's keyboard. It just says what it thinks is the most probable next word based on previous words, it's not actually thinking or understanding anything. So instead, we get moves that don't make sense or are completely invalid.

Nah LLMs are basically fancy autocomplete. They tack on extra layers to give it some fancy abilities, but it literally doesn’t know what it’s doing because it’s a statistical model
