Arithmetic is much simpler than learned capability of LLMs to do arithmetic, and learning it with LLMs doesn’t explain it, LLMs are just another inexplicable thing capable of practicing it. Similarly, intelligence might be much simpler than learned capability of LLMs to exhibit intelligence, and certainly they don’t offer significant clarity in understanding it.
Indeed. The existence of LLMs is not itself an answer to all the relevant questions, just a hint in an interesting direction. I’m going to continue this line of inquiry in future posts.
