LLM reveals its intelligence is token-based, not architectural

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user explored the internal workings of a large language model by asking the model itself, after it had processed extensive computer science literature. The model's response indicated that its perceived intelligence stems primarily from its training data rather than a distinct architectural component for thinking or decision-making. The user concluded that the model's functionality is fundamentally based on processing tokens. AI

IMPACT Suggests that current LLM capabilities are more data-driven than architecturally complex, potentially influencing future research directions.

    I finally opened the hood and saw what's inside an LLM. Well, not exactly. I asked the LLM itself because it read LLM comp sci literature. What makes it tick? How does it plan? Does it have some part that makes it do decisions, or what? The answer was incredibly disappointing, an…
