If someone asked you, you would know about the context. LLMs are predictors, no matter the context length, they never "know" what they are doing. They simply predict tokens.
I guarantee that once we do know people will start appending the word “just” to the explanation. Complex behaviors emerge from simple components. Knowing that doesn’t make the emergence any more incredible.
The brain has intrinsic understanding of the world engraved in our DNA. We do not simply predict tokens based on knowledge, we base our thoughts on intelligence, emotions and knowledge. LLMs neither have intelligence nor emotions.
If your brain simply predicts tokens I feel sorry for you.
Edit: really does not surprise me that AI bros downvote this. Expecting to understand human values from people that want to make themselves obsolete was a mistake.
> The brain has intrinsic understanding of the world engraved in our DNA.
This is not correct. The DNA encodes learning mechanisms shaped by evolution. But there is no "Wikipedia" about the world in the DNA. The DNA is shaped by the process of evolution, and is not "filled" by seemingly random information.
LLMs are “concept based” too, if you can call statistical patterns that. In a multi-modal model the embeddings for text, image and audio exist in the same high-dimensional space.
We don’t seem to have any clue if this is how our brain works, yet.
