No, chatbots are LLMs trained for question-answering through RLHF (its not just a prompt). But yes, if you just zero-shot prompt a bare LLM you can still "talk to it" & you are correct on everything else as far as I know.
replyAt lot of people don't know this, also the human brain is a squishy lump of meat. that's been given a childhood and the prompt "act like an adult", and asked to behave. The coherant chatting behaviour is something thats emergent .
replylater on someone figured if you shove Adderall in it and it to think before it speaks, it gave a response its output would have more logical coherence, as though the Adderall concentration drugd functioned as a scratch space for it to work on.
in the end its a squishy lump of meat.
We know from living as humans that we have experiences.
replyWe have no such evidence that LLMs do.
That's a pretty significant difference between the next-token predictor and the squishy lump of meat.
How much must one tie their self-worth to a chatbot to debase themselves like that? To think that a winner in the arms and intelligence race of animal kingdom, a member of the species that made this chatbot, would put down themselves like that in the defense of the thoughtless silicon is absolutely laughable and depressing at the same time.
replyI'm merely pointing out the logical fallacy of thinking complex systems can't arise from simpler components in an obtuse fashion. Ants are stupid individually, yet they're able to create giant structures in the wild. Hating on AI and calling it next word prediction isn't going to save anyone's jobs. Organizing will. Voting will.
