@robotistry @leeloo so it's a parrot not because it's a matrix of probabilities, but because its hasn't experienced the real-world consequences of its words/actions and updated the probabilities based on those consequences?

@wolf480pl @leeloo No. Maybe this will help. 0: one action, no choice (clockwork automaton, wind-up toy) 1: different actions, no choices (RC car) 2: choice, no plan (reactive robot) 3a: plan, no on-line or off-line learning (adaptive robot) 3b: plan, no on-line learning (same number for 3a and 3b because these are effectively the same when operating) 4: on-line learning - but only what and how it has been told 5a: ability to spontaneously generate new categories of output without being explicitly asked or told to do so (WBEAT) 5b: ability to spontaneously identify new categories of the same kinds of input WBEAT 6: ability to spontaneously identify new kinds of things to learn WBEAT 7: ability to spontaneously identify new ways to learn WBEAT 8: ability to choose new things to learn WBEAT LLMs that you're not training are category 3b. They are static machines, responding to your input like an elevator responding to a button push. LLMs that learn are category 4. 1/2
