And if every product is really smart and really capable how long until they start to wonder why they are spending their time helping the apes?

The YouTube thumb has the title written like it is their nicknames.

The market is possibly falling because I keep getting ads to meet the new Pixel 11, but I already met it, it was called the Pixel 10.

True, but if it is not known what thinking is then it is hard to be sure AI models are not doing it.

I largely agree with what you said, the problem is phrases like ‘simulate hypothetical events’ and ‘applying this mechanism’ are just other ways of saying thinking and do not pin down what thinking is. I know it is not understood what thinking is so I cannot expect you to solve it on Lemmy. I do think it is the manipulation and re-weighting of memory and did therefore feel the original statement that AI models have good memory but poorer ability to think was a little tautologous.

The success of LLM in mimicking human communication makes me wonder if they have unintentionally solved what thinking is and that the human mind is probabilistic. Our minds might decide upon the next event by experience of what successfully followed in similar previously observed situations. This probability work all being run in the subconscious mind, the answer then being passed to the conscious mind which congratulates itself on thinking it out. Similar systems work for picking up a cup, my conscious mind decides I want to pick up a cup but it is the subconscious mind that does all the hard labour of sending appropriate signals to the muscles in my arm. As with reasoning this could have been learned by the subconscious probabilistically. In infancy sending out many signals and seeing which reached for the cup.

But my point is thinking is all smoke and mirrors, its really just an active memory.

I think this distinction is imagined, thinking is largely just a reorganisation and reinterpretation of memory.

We have not asked for so much of it, I do not think whether people ask for it is much of a consideration for those providing it.

Save them from what, the consequences of their own work.

If I had been the project leader on this it would have had an even greater capacity because I would have taped a couple of keyring flash drives around the edge.
