minus-squareEatATaco@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoThis is circular logic: only humans can be fluent, so the models can’t be fluent because they aren’t human. And it’s universally upvoted…in response to an ais getting things wrong so they can’t be doing anything but hallucinating. And will you learn from this? Nope. I’ll just be down voted and shouted at.
minus-square???@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoThis is not at all what I said. If a machine was complex enough to reason, all power to it. But these LLMs cannot.
minus-squareDanksy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-25 months agoIt’s not circular. LLMs cannot be fluent because fluency comes from an understanding of the language. An LLM is incapable of understanding so it is incapable of being fluent. It may be able to mimic it but that is a different thing. (In my opinion)
