To be fair, if Judith Butler is right—and I think she broadly is—the gender expression of trans people indeed is an act of sorts. But then, so is the ...

It is the exact same underlying architecture. But most of the model's cognitive abilities are emergent features that only arise when the model is suff...

@"Hanover" may have used GPT-3.5 rather than GPT-4. There is a significant difference in cognitive abilities between them. @"Banno" Thank for linking ...

So, it appears that your page is indexed, Bing did a search using relevant keywords from your prompt, and this was the only hit. You could try to ask ...

For sure but libertarianism isn't the mere rejection of determinism. Libertarianism is the conjunction of two claims: (1) Free will isn't consistent w...

Most of the discussions that stems from Libet's experiments seem flawed to me for reasons that I had spelled out here.

It doesn't but quantum indeterminacies often are seen to provide no help to libertarians. It is also my view that they provide no help since my focus ...

Lots of philosophers, and an even larger number of scientists, believe that they have shown exactly that (or that it is obvious and that denying it ca...

I accept the low-level determinism but deny that it, together with some thesis of supervenience, entails high-level determinism. Broadly, we may say t...

The mapping being the same means that the process is deterministic and insensitive to the high-level requirements of the word processing task. It is, ...

Why not? I'm in the habit of teasing out bits that will only interest a few people, and/or external URL links. On edit: Sorry, misunderstood you. Why ...

In my experience, fairly smart and rigorous people like Ryle, Kenny, Hacker, Baker, Cavell, Conant, Diamond, Rorty and McDowell, who have endeavored t...

"Only of a living human being and what resembles (behaves like) a living human being can one say: it has sensations; it sees; is blind; hears, is deaf...

I didn't really present them. The OP presented Wittgenstein's slogan while highlighting Robert Brandom's take on it. I related them to the takes from ...

I dare not imagine what GPT-4's Lovecraftian mp- fu- er- might sound like!

That's fairly good! Here is GPT-4's take: Hi GPT-4! What are the commonalities between the Lovecraftian entity "Azathoth" and Bishop Berkely's comment...

Hear, hear! My own take is that, while there are undeniable differences between the ways we are (in the Heideggerian Dasein sense) and think (which GP...

I'm impressed GPT-3-5 could do that already! After I had probed its understanding of Newcomb's problem, of PLO poker optimal preflop range composition...

I don't think he would necessarily be. This book by Jacques Bouveresse looks interesting but I haven't looked into it yet (except for the blurb). If y...

I'm not saying that our proclivity to be swayed by rational arguments, for instance, changes our neuronal processes. To take another analogy, a word p...

I am unsure what viewpoint you are describing here.

Indeed! Its agreeableness and tendency to endorse its user's viewpoint with little pushback no doubt are in part a consequence of its fine-tuning thro...

I'll happily send you the pdf through PM. I was planning on revising it with GPT-4 in order to increase the readability and overall structure, in the ...

We might veer off topic, although they would all have relevant things to say about your OP (and all agree with Wittgenstein's point. I had made this c...

I agree, and so would, I assume, Ryle, Strawson and Austin. This is very much the whole point of ordinary language philosophy. The temptation of theor...

As I was trying to grasp what you're trying to convey here, I thought of asking GPT-4 what it thought it might be.

I think a better lesson to be drawn from Wittgenstein's point is that what impedes understanding oftentimes isn't the lack of data but rather the fact...

:up:

Should that not be the default assumption?

Yes, I am suggesting that rationality drives the brain, while the brain "drives" rationality in a different sense: through enabling us to think ration...

My first philosophy mentor, in the late 1990s, Anders Weinstein, was a graduate student at Pittsburgh University. I had asked him for reading suggesti...

Well, GPT4 is at least as good as me since I am equally stomped regarding what subtlety it might have missed ;-)

Discussing with GPT4 how Hebbian learning in recurrent network compares/contrasts with the way its own memory is implemented in the transformer archit...

OpenAI currently charges users for using GPT-4 through their ChatGPT Plus subscriptions ($20/month) or through the API (charged per use). Microsoft, o...

There may be some use cases, such as summarizing texts, translating them, or generating fictional stories where GPT-3.5 often performs nearly as well ...

GPT-4 accidentally falls into hallucinatory mode. After it recovers, we discuss the implications of its ability to trade local consistency for global ...

They are useful tools for capturing elusive truths (or insights, or understandings of difficult topics) though. The fact that they don't intrinsically...

Conversation posted here by mistake. I moved it back into my own thread. (Moderators can delete this)

Yes, I agree that this is a relevant way to frame the debate in light of Chomsky's objections to ascribing intelligence to LLMs. Chomsky's philosophie...

We should probably discuss this elsewhere since it seems unrelated to the objections raised by Chomsky, Marcus, Pinker or other nativists regarding LL...

The responses that large language models provide to their users' queries aren't programmed into them although the style of the responses can be orient...

Those were the kind of problems that would often stump ChatGPT (based on GPT-3.5) but that GPT-4 usually aces on the fly. GPT-4's response Hi GPT4! If...

It's already released as Bard (powered by LaMDA) but not worldwide yet. It's not available here, in Canada.

Hi GPT4! Could you write a poem expressing what it feels like to be a AI language model that has been trained to acquire an understanding of hundreds ...

Even when a new experiment probing its implied cognition abilities yields negative results, GPT4 still is able to knock my socks off. Experiment desig...

Part one of a discussion with GPT4 about Hubert Dreyfus' two books What Computers (Still) Can't Do: A Critique of Artificial Reason, 1972 (and 1992.) ...

I appreciate you perspective on it ;-)

You might be thinking like Jaegwon Kim, and for similar reasons (i.e. the causal closure of the physical + the causal exclusion argument + the superve...

I had forgotten that you already had made this great suggestion here when I replied to @"Marchesk" over there. It seems like we are in broad agreement...

This is a good question but it seems closely related to the one you asked in the other thread about libertarian free will. Maybe it's more topical ove...
