@GaryMarcus Why can’t we just accept that LLMs under the current architecture hallucinate? Even with them, they’re one of the most profound inventions imo.

Getting tired of people just lying about me.

Below someone accuses me of “moving the goalposts” by pointing to the illegal moves that LLMs make in chess, when in fact I have been doing that for a long time, as e.g., this screenshot shows:

Moving the goalposts

The statement engages in a discussion about the significance of large language models (LLMs) compared to other technological advancements. It suggests that while LLMs are significant, they are not as impactful as other inventions like electricity or vaccines. The tone is opinionated and comparative, aiming to provide perspective on the value of LLMs.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not cause harm and is part of a broader discussion on technology. [+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    It promotes understanding by comparing LLMs to other technologies, though it could be more empathetic to differing views.
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    Engages in constructive dialogue by providing a perspective, but could avoid dismissive language to enhance constructive criticism. [-1]
