Remember how I said that #LLM technology demonstrates that much of what we perceive as intelligence is actually part of the structure of languages? Well, someone wrote an article about it. Still only a #ChineseRoom without a mind.

I think the more interesting interpretation of the Chinese Room thought experiment is that the room itself understands. The man is just part of the engine, like the letter he reads, the book he uses, or the chair he sits in.

🤖💡 Can #algorithms really #think – or is it just a perfect illusion?

Imagine: An AI like Google Lambda actively resists being shut down. Does it understand what it is doing – or is it just simulating intelligence à la Searle's #ChineseRoom?

👉 Discover the limits of #AI, #consciousness, and #machine consciousness in an interview with Prof. Dr. #ThomasFuchs.

@mcc #DeepLearning based software has been in use for quite some time now. We have seen all those toys like real-time video filters, image enhancers/upscalers, all that is basically the same thing as an image generator, the only new trick is coupling the image model with a language model and using random noise as input. Instead of giving the machine something ugly to prettify, you give it some grainy grey salt and pepper randomness like an analogue television tuned to a dead channel and tell it what kind of patterns to search for and amplify in that noise.
And LLMs are really just autocomplete on steroids. They literally just predict the next word and then the next one after that, just the next word that leads down one of the nearest pathways of high enough probability. It's a billion-dimensional landscape of language, but it doesn't know anything, it just has memorised everything and built a map of all the common patterns in all kinds of texts and how likely they are to occur in relation to all the preceding text.
It's just because LLMs have become quite good at producing text that looks like it has been written by a human being, people tend to believe they are actually intelligent. In fact, an #LLM is just a #ChineseRoom --no mind in there, just statistical rules about language.

The trick is to make models smaller and more lightweight, training them on much smaller, human curated, high quality, data sets, resulting in software that can be run on low-spec hardware like a smartphone or a laptop and still produce decent results. The training data sets can be managed by volunteer online communities, and people can help training those models by having their computers donate computing power, crunching numbers for the community open source AI.
There isn't any money to be made that way, just simple AI tools that can be used by anybody with a laptop, no Internet needed, that's why all the focus is on the humongous ML models instead. Models that need huge data centres for their training, are completely closed proprietary systems, and only run on the servers of their owners, forcing everybody to pay rent for their usage, payable in money or data, everyone doing business in machine learning is trying to get the world addicted to their stuff. Small standalone ML models trained for a more specific purpose can be made much more energy efficient and also quite often much more useful and reliable. Unlike the blockchain, for which few serious use cases exist outside of recording who "owns" some huge number, machine learning can actually be used to solve problems for which humans use their intelligence.

However, machine learning forces us to rethink the entire concept of "intellectual property". IMHO, it's just bonkers that somebody can claim to own a piece of information. As soon as anything is out, you can't stop anybody from using it in any way they like. You can't stop anybody from making hundreds of copies of photos, cutting them to pieces and reassembling them to collages. You also can't stop anybody from downloading images from the Internet or grabbing them from video and training #StableDiffusion models on those. You can't stop people from training fun sized LLMs on the ebook collections on their hard drives. The technology is out there, people know how to use it, they will use it and not care very much whether it is legal or not. Instead of trying to get the AI companies to pay for their unlicensed use of data, maybe we should just declare all AI research outside of intellectual property rights, putting all the resulting AI software in the public domain, and demand all source code to be public, free, and open. Also, nothing generated by any of those models should ever become anybody's intellectual property. THAT would be nice. Make it so that any AI which ever broke or bent any copyrights during training automatically turns into a public domain black hole which sucks everything it touches into the public domain. Let people generate as many AI hallucinations as they like, just tell them that they don't own the results, or rather, everybody does. Intellectual property sucks, anyway, even more than physical private property. If AI companies can't create I.P. based monopolies, they will never make any money, so they'll just fold if they are forced to publish everything free of charge, free to use.

@Luke_Drury @icastico

We have struggled with the shortcoming of language, and especially written language, since Socrates and likely before; that's why we have lawyers!

And yet, our little #ChineseRoom bot is given only text and expected to both understand and reply?

Chomsky asked a psychiatrist to explain Asperger's. He was told, "Go to MIT. It's half the staff, and half the student body."

Is it any wonder then the applied tech leans to the sociopathic?

3 Things That #LLMs
Have Made Us Rethink

1
The #TuringTest has evaporated.

2
Searle’s #ChineseRoom showed up, uninvited.

3
Chomsky’s #UniversalGrammar needs some bolstering if it is to survive.

via @FroehlichMarcel

ps: would like to add to this list:

4
Mary's Room (& etc)

5
Qualia (all diff. variations)

6
Language

Still 2 out of this list: Yea/Nay?
