    While it is not alive, whether it is a mind is not a clear cut. It can be called kind of a mind, a mind different of that of human.

      Unless you want to call your predictive text on your keyboard a mind you really can’t call an LLM a mind. It is nothing more than a linear progression from that. Mathematically proven to not show any form of emergent behavior.

        I do not think that it is “linear” progression. ANN by definition is nonlinear. Neither I think anything is “mathematically proven”. If I am wrong, please provide a link.

        No such thing has been “mathematically proven.” The emergent behavior of ML models is their notable characteristic. The whole point is that their ability to do anything is emergent behavior.

          Here’s a white paper explicitly proving:

          1. No emergent properties (illusory due to bad measures)
          2. Predictable linear progress with model size

          The field changes fast, I understand it is hard to keep up

            Sure, if you define “emergent abilities” just so. It’s obvious from context that this is not what I described.
