- LLMs are a great way to understand how knowledge and understanding work. It's insane how much LLMs can do with just an understanding of language without the underlying physical world or experience. - If you think about Arrival the movie the ability to understand the language in and of itself was very powerful. - It is important thought to remember that [[LLMs are Blurry Images]] --- - "LLMs learn only from language; without being embodied in the physical world, they do not experience language’s connection to objects, properties and feelings, as a person does. “It’s clear that they’re not understanding words in the same way that people do,” Lake says. In his opinion, LLMs currently demonstrate “that you can have very fluent language without genuine understanding”." - [Link](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02361-7)
