Very strange to base your views on the hidden internals about a thing rather than the experience of interacting with it.

Very human, why should I trust some matrix-multiplication and gradient descent on deeply personal questions. For sure that guy in the mirror looks amicable, but you don't get much out of it when trying to flirt with a mirror.

I have to try out GPT-4, but I don't think it will be able to help me with my hobby. Like getting the feel of a painting right, whereas my friends have an easy time pointing out flaws or give recommendations beyond some technical irrelevancy

I don’t know, why do you assume human minds are anything more than that?

The more I interact with an LLM the more it reminds me of my manager.

Correct me if I'm misunderstanding, you're putting forward the notion that the human mind is reducible to matrix-multiplications and gradient descent.

This seems like such a strong claim, that I shouldn't be the one arguing for it. Rather you should bring strong evidence.

Tbh,I agree with on the manager anecdote (maybe more on the cynical side)

I have interacted with it, and I find it incredibly outputting. Very strange you assume everyone would enjoy the experience.

No, it sucks chunks. But the reasoning here is still bad.
