@lmorchard The ability to induce such a rule goes well beyond the OP's characterisation of what LLMs do.

@mudri @lmorchard You realize that you literally prompted parroting, and it succeeded? What part of "stochastic parrot" did you think it was defeating? Did you already offload some of your thinking to these systems?

@mudri@mathstodon.xyz @lmorchard@masto.hackers.town it’s not inductive at all though. It’s just parroting the patterns it sees in its training data. If it wasn’t common to see exchanges like that, the response would be utter nonsense. People misunderstand what “training” is. It’s modeling the input. Humans develop the rules for how to model that input. Emergent properties of that process can easily *seem* like thinking or reason, but it’s an illusion.
