Evidence is growing that LLMs will never be the route to AGI. They are consuming exponentially increasing energy, to deliver only linear improvements in performance. (arxiv.org)

So you’re assuming determinism is incompatible with consciousness now? Comprehension? I might be “naive about the nature of consciousness” but you’re gullible about it if you think you know those things.

But at least you’ve made a definite claim now about a thing which an LLM cannot do, which is:

Theoretically, if an LLM had "intelligence," you could ask it about a problem that was completely dereferenced in the training data.

That brings me back to the original challenge: can you articulate such a problem? We can experiment with ChatGPT and see how it handles it.
