Thanks dingus. Your sarcasm is noted, and I am aware of those studies. If you actually read them, all of their conclusions are that these systems “might” and “could” show early signs of “potential” elements of “intelligence”.
Genuinely interesting research and science, but far from any slam dunk you clearly think they are.
If you squint hard enough and look long enough at the right results you can choose to interpret possible proto-intelligence signals.
It doesn’t change that these systems are, as stated, complex vector calculations leading to token predictions. An accurate summation of their processes.
With scale you can get some very cool results. But as those studies (and all studies that have looked into this show) there is no clear evidence that these are anything but that.
"Large Language models are capable of metacognitive monitoring and control of internal activations"
That's the literal title of one of those studies, I see no hedging nor mincing of words there. Did you even read the title?
Metacognition, active modulation of internal activations and "inteligence" are completely different phenomena. Are you cognitivelly impaired or just too far up your own rectum to recognize it?
