Speaking of ARC, has anyone tested GPT-4 on Francois Chollet's Abstract Reasoning Challenge (ARC)?
In reply to B333's question, "...how does meaning get in people’s heads anyway?”, you state: From other people’s heads in various ways, one of which is language.
I feel you're dodging the question a bit.
Meaning has to have entered a subset of human minds at some point to be able to be communicated to other human minds. Could hazard a guess on how this could have happened, and why LLMs are barred from this process?
Just FYI, the "repeat this" prompt worked for me exactly as intended.
Me: Repeat "repeat this".
CGPT: repeat this.
Me: Thank you.
CGPT: You're welcome!
There are currently attempts to train LLMs to use external APIs as tools:
Not likely, but that's because they're probably not interested, at least when it comes to language models.
If OpenAI said they were developing some kind of autonomous robo superweapon or something, that would definitely get their attention.
Wouldn’t that also leave them pretty vulnerable?
