Everyone seems to be complaining about LLMs not actually being intelligent. Does anyone know if there are alternatives out there, either in theory or already made, that you would consider to be ‘more intelligent’ or have the potential to be more intelligent than LLMs?

    I assume most of the people saying LLMs are not intelligent are comparing it to intelligent life, like humans and perhaps even other animals.

    I’m also referring to intelligence in that way. However, if you can think of more ways to express it then I would be open to listening.

      I think something you should come away from this thread with, is that we don’t have good or agreed upon definitions of what intelligence are, which makes answering your question really difficult.

        Yeah, I already have that idea. Discerning intelligence is more of a philosophical discussion and not quite the purpose of this thread.

        I would like to believe that the people proudly saying “AI isn’t intelligent” could also proudly say what intelligence is, but I know that’s expecting too much of average internet users.

          “AI isn’t intelligent”

          “Ai isn’t intelligent” is a form of thought-terminating cliché. Its a low effort way of virtue signalling and gatekeeping. And its really bad on lemmy.

          Its not a defense of shitty corporations to be interested in computation, math, machine learning, etc, but must lemmings are well : whispers :, lemmings.
