    IMHO it’s real intelligence, but not artificial. LLMs have been fed virtually everything created by the actual intelligence: humans. Like I said, all they do is execute what is effectively pattern matching (on serious steroids) to distill what humans have created into something more bite-sized.

      It’s pattern matching, but it’s not matching intelligently. An intelligence should be able to optimize itself to the task at hand, even before self-improvement. LLMs can’t select relevant data to operate on, nor can it handle executive functions.

      LLMs are cool, and I think humans have something similar to process information with, but that’s just one part of a larger system, and it’s not the intelligent part.

      Ask an LLM how many 'r’s are in the word ‘strawberry’ and tell me it has any actual intelligence behind its output.

        To be fair to LLMs they get the text as a series of tokens, so when you type strawberry, the see 🍓 or something. What works better as a counterexample are variations of the river crossing puzzle changed to be trivial.
