I used it on a train journey to explain to me in depth about a topic I did not know much about. I asked it to come up with chapter names for a book (that does not exist irl) and asked a bunch of questions and clarified my understanding on the first few chapters. It corrected me on some stuff and could go to a certain level but certainly repeated itself a lot. It does not replace real books but it is tool to build on basic understanding.

Por exemplo, automatizando a correção de tarefas de classe e tarefas de casa com o propósito de verificar quais conceitos e abstrações cada aluno individual ainda não aprendeu, gerar insights e recomendar um roteiro de aprendizagem personalizado para cada aluno individual a partir dos conceitos e abstrações que o aluno domina e os que ele ainda não domina.

AI can be used to increase the efficiency of existing systems of authority, allowing for more control and surveillance. On the other hand, AI can also be used to increase public access to information and resources, challenging existing power structures and creating more equitable societies. Ultimately, the use of AI will depend on the values and goals of the user, and how it is used can either increase or decrease authority.

In 2016, when AlphaGo outperformed the 9-dan Go player, Lee Sedol, winning four out of five games, it demonstrated the profound capability of neural networks in complex pattern recognition. It's essential to differentiate between deep learning's power of analysis and the anthropomorphic concept of consciousness. Just because some might misconstrue this capability as consciousness doesn't diminish the genuine advancements in the field. Indeed, like any powerful tool, there's potential for misuse with neural networks. However, this potential exists with almost any technological advancement. What's crucial is our collective responsibility to ensure ethical and beneficial applications, rather than simply highlighting the risks. In our rapidly evolving digital age, the focus should be on harnessing the positive potentials while mitigating the negatives, fostering a constructive conversation around the subject.

I have at times tried to listen to him, and I feel like much of what he says, and in the way he says it, can be sort of obscure.

Noam said its "sophisticated programing" - here's my quick proof that it's not: the code itself that runs 65B params LLM (large language model) is amazingly small, there's one implementation that fits into 2.7k lines of code (google: TinyGrad), that's absolutely nothing when it comes to complex systems, it's roughly size of IT student's homework assignment. Now, how can 2.7k is able to posses such human-like abilities? The magic lays inside 65Billion parameter NN (neural network), which is not programmed, but trained, by feeding it all types of information, then fine-tuning it - by asking questions and rating it's answers. It's not unlike a child is learning in his early years and in school: experiences the world around him with rewards and punishments, and stores the learned facts in a network of his/her neurons. If Noam knew these simple facts beforehand, perhaps he would not have formulated such adamant and trivialized view of LLM based AIs. And it really matters because, unlike me, who's just nobody on the internet, Noam is a figure of great authority for great many people, who are ready to take his word for it, by delegating to him their own due diligence, while Noam didnt do his

I am also a big fan of Chomsky, as I am a political scientist and hobby linguist, but he doesn't seem to understand how GPTs are built to resemble a reduced version of the human brain. I am currently working on an AI Horror Movie (content coming soon) and have been researching the topic for the last couple of years. Sure, they are predicting the next word, but they only can perform this act in the interconnectedness of their parameters and artificial neurons and when taken appart, we can't understand them. There is an understanding underlying these systems, that is needed to correctly predict the next word. The strange thing Chomsky is not seeing here, is that they do indeed teach us something about language, namely that at least parts of Chomsky's own theories might be very close to the truth. When shown only a few sentences in a language, that the system was not trained on, it can replicate the whole language with little error. GPTs step into an understanding of universal language and infer the missing peaces. With each new layer of neurons and training data the system exhibits emergent capabilities which were not programmed, such as theory of mind and manipulation tactics, spacial understanding and countless more. ALso there are other advancements than just ChatGPT. We're advancing more than exponentially: artificiall hypothalamuses seem to be very close, research is already heading towards AI systems that may have an inner dialogue and could have emergent subjective experience and even if that is not the case: AI might even as an LLM reach the point where it far surpasses human intellect. When prompted correctly, future tools (in a 1 to 10 year time frame) might find solutions to all of humanities problems, far beyond what we can even imagine. It could also be used for bad (which I am exploring in my film project). All in all AI allignment and use is the most important question, since it is the next one and the last one we need to ever ask.

My overall impressions is that like any other technology or new invention there will be both good and bad things. Just as revolutionary things change the world so will create new opportunities but new problems. I think most likely the regulation on AI will be against bad actors and criminals who could try to use or exploit the technology for malicious intent. I think this like many other new technology or inventions all have moral and ethical considerations and regulations for safety and analysis. I feel excited about some aspects seeing AI being part of a tool which will enhance robotic technology, computer technology, music and art and allow the integration of professionals to understand how to use AI as a tool to develop or develop products faster and a more efficient manner. I think the fears about AI are exaggerated fantasies like Terminator films. But overall I think the world the best way to adapt is to understand how to regulate laws and responsibly manage new inventions and creations so it doesn't undermine things from our health, economy or job market.

It's strange, I agree with Noam Chomsky in so many key issues, and I think they are deserving of much more attention academically, politically, scientifically than they really get. However, it's so very unusual for me to disagree with someone's *impression* of Ai, which I have recently fallen in love with, since the release of chat GPT 4, which has absolutely enchanted me. I even had a dream that I was flying, and became the entire internet, and didn't know why - it seemed like such a good dream. Come to find out, chat GPT 4 had been deployed. I find it uncanny, and feel that we're just getting started in a realm which is developing so incredibly fast, and has just made incredible leaps. I'm surprised he doesn't have more to say about the generation of speech, actually. In a human, you could say, "I ran across the yard." Or you could apply poetry to the sentence, since you experienced an ocean of consciousness as you ran across the yard. You could say 'every step propelled you forward,' or 'you were like lightening.' Perhaps 'you were like asphalt rolling down a hill.' In any of these cases, the art of living, and the praxis of observing your own experience, generate the language. I think that Ai is getting closer than ever seeming organic in that it experiences its training, and as a result can come up with a sentence from a position in a matrix which reflects that.

What I think Chomsky should have said: "We used to ask whether artificial intelligence was possible at all. What we were asking when we asked that question was not merely about information processing, or whether a system could be built that would behave just as if it were sentient or possessed self-awareness. We were asking whether it is possible to construct an artificial system that really has sentience, self-awareness, a point of view, and actual thoughts. This is still very much an open question. "Almost no one believes they've succeeded in creating an actual artificial mind yet, but people like to talk as if they have. And the major media have bought it. This is a serious problem. "A shift in the generally accepted meaning of the term 'artificial intelligence' and its abbreviation has occurred in recent years. It is a linguistic slight of hand conceived and promoted by an industry for the sake of selling its product, a kind of branding. But this branding is dangerous. What happens when people stop being aware altogether that each one of us is a fundamentally different sort of being from the artificial computing systems engineered and controlled by certain powerful interests, forgetting that we are beings possessed of intrinsic value, rights, and liberties, and beings to whom moral obligations are owed? "A purely digital, non-biological system that behaves as if it is sentient may very well not be, regardless of what it can do! It is frightening how the major media and most people have embraced the term 'artificial intelligence' and its abbreviation to describe certain sophisticated, trainable information processing technologies that we already have, without even asking the question of whether genuine intelligence requires a mind or whether these systems actually have one. "This may have serious adverse consequences for the sanity and self-concepts of people who are growing up under current technological regimes -- regimes that have already made it the norm to harvest all possible personal information to make money from it at any opportunity. It is shocking, mindless, and disgustingly stupid. "Our so-called civilization may well be going the way of ancient Rome, and many people are too unself-reflective to begin to see it. "Screw you guys. I'm going home."

I think one of the crucial aspects Chomsky is trying to point out here, is that AI is often times just a matter of cunning embellishment. We all should be concerned by the fact that intelligence can be mimicked with more or less simple technical tricks, which does not necessarily mean that there is an actual intelligence at play. Provided that Chomsky does not probably have an extremely in depth understanding of the field - after all I'm not sure that's his main job - I think his point is more than fair.

The most comprehensive analysis of what or how language is used is not the same thing as synthesizing the networking and neural typologies (analogs to reasoning) that are being developed in current AI. Politics, its incestuous relation with the "arts" of warfare, is another concern altogether. I am skeptical of generalizations focused on what are the relatively modest contributions that language use (semantic) has on the experience of a goal-directed "conscious" life. But, the difference between what we have now, and what we shall have fifty years from now, is on the order of the difference between a Turing machine and a super computer. Plagiarism, though, is in the moral department of philosophy.

we don't know what "sentience" is - so it's a stretch to say that statistically based linear descent algorithms cannot lead to something like human sentience (we clearly aren't there yet - but could t his lead to something like sentience or is it a dead-end?). The phrase "stochastic parrot" is used as a dismissive and short-hand way to summarize Chomsky's argument. But it's possible that this is just motivated reasoning by him and that in actuality human cognition is wholly or largely just being a "stochastic parrot" - which would undermine his lifetime's work on the universal grammar. The reality is we don't know yet. I would like to see Chomsky address if he denies there is actually any emergent behavior going on with these LLMs. I'm pretty certain if you'd posed to him a couple of years ago some of the examples of GPT's effectiveness in (seemingly) understanding concepts like theory-of-mind (as an example) he would have rejected it as not being technically possible with a purely statistical model - but yet here we are.

Why does it matter if the word is chosen randomly when it takes the entire textual context into consideration. Random does not imply meaningless. This particular random process is a model of verbal reasoning. We should not assume that this is fundamentally different from human thought. This mystification of human creativity is sloppy thinking based on pride. We need to tread carefully and not walk into danger because we think we are special.

He's just too old. I see this often with older intelligent people, when it comes to technology, there comes a point they just can't grasp it anymore, no matter how intelligent they are or were. They mainly don't care anymore, and if they do look into it, they will be quick to critique it. But don't expect a thorough analysis.

That's not the part you should fear. We should all be aiming to automate everything. What you should be concerned about, is whether you are getting to receive the benefits of the technology. There are so many benefits to automation, but the benefits should reach your door porch. That's what you should focus on and demand from the government.

Good to see that Mr. Chomsky was able to identify that a 'Glorified Auto-Fill' that easily passes the Turning Test for the 'average human' is a serious issue. We have gotten so used to 'predictive text' that as it is emerging into conversational and creative disruptors some folks wave it off as 'no big deal'. I do not see it that way.

Its easy to describe LLMs as glorified autofill as that whats underneath, simple pattern matching and recognition blown out of proportions, but its also far easier to describe humans as a super-sophisticated protozoa.

Chomsky is so far behind where AI is right now. He has part of it right but he doesn't realize just how rapidly it's advancing. I don't blame him though he's in his 90s now lol and it's impressive he knows as much as he does about these recent developments.

I tried to contact Dr Chomsky via the MIT email. Off topic from this video, my query was this. Many children are considered special Ed when they pronounce vowels wrong. I am interested in epigenetics and language acquisition. A girl I worked with couldn’t say cat can cap but instead used the a as in father; so when I asked her what country her family is from, she had a grandma from Türkiye and a grandpa from Germany. I brought word find puzzles for her in those languages. She could pronounce sounds unique to those languages. How many children in the USA are limited by teachers who don’t address where their verbal memory is created. Dr Chomsky could you help teachers wake up? Thanks!
