I have a 2yo and it's been surreal watching her learn the world. It deeply resembles how LLMs learn and think. Crazy

Odd, I've been stuck by how different LLMs and kids learn the world.

You don’t get that whole uncanny valley disconnect do you?

How so? Your kid has a body that interacts with the physical world. An LLM is trained on terabytes of text, then modified by human feedback and rules to be a useful chatbot for all sorts of tasks. I don't see the similarity.

If you watch how agents attempt a task, fail, try to figure out what went wrong, try again, repeat a couple more times, then finally succeed -- you don't see the similarity?

A person is not their body.

The person is the data that they have ingested and trained on through the senses that are exposed by their body. Body is just an interface to reality.

What? LLMs don't think nor learn in the sense humans do. They have absolutely no resemblance to a human being. This must be the most ridiculous statement I've read this year

I am sorry, but you are scoffing at the humanity of your kid; you know that, right?
