I asked Google Bard whether it thought Web Environment Integrity was a good or bad idea. Surprisingly, not only did it respond that it was a bad idea, it even went on to urge Google to drop the proposal.

That ignores all the papers on emergent features of LLMs and the fact they are basically black boxes. Yes, we “trained” them to write what we want to hear. But we don’t really understand what happens inside of it. We can’t categorically claim things like “they are only regurgitating what they heard”. Because that is not a scientific or even philosophical statement.
If you think about it for a second, it’s also applicable to human beings…
Exactly, the reason LLMs are so fascinating to us is how close they get to sounding human. Thing is, it’s not a trick. When people dismiss LLMs because, “Oh they mostly just echo their training data set”. That’s just culture in humans. Then it’s the emergent behavior that makes us feel unique. I’m not saying LLMs are human equivalent. But they’re fairly close in design to how a huge part of our psyche works.

I think to assume what you assume is also incorrect given current data.
And that’s my entire point…. What is it doing? How what it’s doing is different from a mind or intelligence?
Like our brains and minds evolved to “fill in the blank”. For many situations, due to survival and millions of years of selection. But what is the actual difference?

Large language models literally do subspace projections on text to break it into contextual chunks, and then memorize the chunks. That’s how they’re defined.
Source: the paper that defined the transformer architecture and formulas for large language models, which has been cited in academic sources 85,000 times alone https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762
Hey, that comment’s a bit off the mark. Transformers don’t just memorize chunks of text, they’re way more sophisticated than that. They use attention mechanisms to figure out what parts of the text are important and how they relate to each other. It’s not about memorizing, it’s about understanding patterns and relationships. The paper you linked doesn’t say anything about these models just regurgitating information.
I believe your “They use attention mechanisms to figure out which parts of the text are important” is just a restatement of my “break it into contextual chunks”, no?
