Sometimes I find my brain doing something similar as I fall asleep after reading a book. Feeding me a stream of words that feel like they're continuing the style and plot of the book but are actually nonsense.



I think GPT tech in general may "just" be a hypertrophied speech center. If so, it's pretty cool and clearly not merely a human-class speech center, but already a fairly radically super-human speech center.

However, if I ask your speech center to be the only thing in your brain, it's not actually going to do a very good job.

We're asking a speech center to do an awful lot of tasks that a speech center is just not able to do, no matter how hypertrophied it may be. We need more parts.


>already a fairly radically super-human speech center >We're asking a speech center to do an awful lot of tasks that a speech center is just not able to do

Exactly!

>We need more parts.

Yeah, imagine what happens once we get the whole thing wired up...
