this whole analogy is so tired. "LLMs are stupid, but some humans are stupid too, therefore LLMs can be smart as well". let's put aside the obvious bad logic and think for one second about WHY some people are better than others at certain tasks. it is always because they have lots of practice and learned from their experiences. something LLM categorically cannot do
> LLMs are stupid, but some humans are stupid too, therefore LLMs can be smart as well
Not what I said. The correct logic is "LLMs are stupid, but that doesn't prove that they MUST ALWAYS be stupid, in the same way that the existence of stupid people doesn't prove that ALL people are stupid".

Please.
> WHY some people are better than others at certain tasks. it is always because they have lots of practice and learned from their experiences.
What? No it isn't. It's partly because they have lots of practice and learned from experience. But it's also partly natural talent.
> something LLM categorically cannot do
There's literally a step called "training". What do you think that is?
The difference is that LLMs have a distinct off-line training step and can't learn after that. Kind of like the Memento guy. Does that completely rule out smart LLMs? Too early to tell I think.
