Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought

yeah i was referring more to the chemical reactions. the 2+2 example is not the best one but langauge itself is a great case study. once you get fluent enough at any langauge everything just flows, you have a thought and then you compose words to describe it, and the reverse is true, you hear something and your brain just understands. How do we do any of that? no idea
Understood. And yeah, language is definitely an interesting topic. "Why do you say 'So be it' instead of 'So is it'?" Most people will say "I don't know.... all I know if that it sounds correct." Someone will say "it's because it's a preterite preposition past imperfect incantation tense used with an composition participle around-the-clock flush adverb, so clearly you must use the subjunctive in this case." But that's after studying it years later.

they do it while dehumanizing people and devaluing humanity
You're making wild assumptions about people who disagree with your opinions. How ironic you accuse "them" of dehumanizing people.
But I do agree that this gets to the core of the matter, the shock of a piece of software being able to produce intelligent text while clearly not having general intelligence is quite the shock. Same with creativity, while the entertainment industry produced equally empty content slop using human labor it's a painful shock to our identity as humans. I suspect this is a reaction to disillusionment and the intellectual pain that comes from it.
My opinion on LLMs is rather nuanced, the worst possible outcome I can foresee is the anti-AI crowd helping the oligarchs to establish IP ownership of all LLM models and monopolizing the tools, so that only they can have access to the "means of generation". While the rest has to pay for the privilege of using it.
How ironic you accuse “them” of dehumanizing people.
Dude, you're up two posts from here saying how people are LLMs.
