    In the same way that computers are basically advanced abaci.

    Don’t confuse a simplification made to demonstrate the basic functioning to a layman with how things actually work.

    LLM’s are neural networks, which are based on a model of brain function. There’s little reason to believe that we cannot eventually reach similar levels of effectiveness as human brains.

    Hell - reaching the levels of pigeon brains would already be absurdly useful.

      The problem is they’re already talking about needing trillions of dollars worth of hardware to make it happen. It’s absurd.
