Comment on An LLM would probably run the USA better
Slippery_Snake874@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks agoHmm. That is interesting, and I admit it does seem like the company that made it is also still researching their own model, but some parts of the article seem a bit dramatic (not sure if there is a better word).
Like when it says the model doesn’t “admit” to how it solved the math problem when asked. Of course it doesn’t, it is made for humans to interact with so it is not going to tell a human how a computer does math, it makes more sense for it to explain the “human” method.
Interesting stuff though, thanks for the article!

The wording is very sensationalist. It’s currently hard to trace any single output specifically, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know how it works. The algorithm and theory behind it are very well understood. It’s just that the algorithm is very complex (and uses very large amounts of data), which is what makes tracing a single response token by token so hard.
When you read something about how we don’t understand how AI works, you can safely skip that article, they intentionally use dishonest language to make it sound like something mystical is going on.

Yeah that makes a lot more sense to me. I can definitely understand that the algorithm might be very large and complex for one person to understand, but it isn’t magic.
