Well sure, but can you really say that humans do more?

I mean, can you say it without going into theological beliefs that are not scientifically testable?

I'd say at least a quarter of the population is disappointingly similar to an LLM - even one from a couple years ago...  And even Nicola Tesla was haunted by the possibility that he might just be a biological automaton...

If you ask me if I'm more than a very evolved biological machine, Occam's Razor says no. So what's the difference with an LLM? It's just structured a bit differently - and if and when we have a better understanding of the human brain, we'll probably have LLMs that are structured exactly the same...

@cjd @bonifartius I feel like at this point it's been definitively proven that you don't need reasoning to explain/simulate much of basic human interaction, I mean like with literally no reasoning at all. humans reason, if you add a bit of reasoning then you could fully explain behavior that avoids ridiculous llm hallucination behavior, and I suspect now this is how people really work, I would be very interested in a neurological proof of this though.

@sun @cjd @bonifartius People suspected we would converge on opinions when exposed to others online in the early days of the internet. This clearly hasn't happened no matter what you think the "correct" opinion on anything is.
