    I don’t believe they are intelligent now but I do believe we evolved as basically pattern matching machines.

      I don’t rule out the possibility of future intelligent text generators, but I don’t think that large language models will do it.

      I don’t know enough about the evolution of cognition in human beings to believe that your second statement is wrong or right.

        How do you define intelligent here, if it’s not what LLMs can do? What’s something an “intelligent” text generator can do that an LLM cannot?

          If you genuinely believe that the current LLMs are intelligent, odds are that you have nothing meaningful to talk about LLMs, and thus I won’t waste my time with you.

        My second statement is certainly not comprehensive and rather offhand. Its just we have a ton of pattern matching behavior thats been optimized. Sometimes you may read things about it in why we see faces in everything and why we like certain sounds such that we have music and such.

            yeah its just belief thought really. Its made me think on it more and its sorta a chicken and egg thing. like the whole basic things with cells. attracted to beneficial things like food and repulsed by dangerous things. so recognition becomes important but maybe just the like dislike is the thing and not the aparatus to identify it. shrug
