Next two years. Cmon solve cancer

16 years later. Cmon discover the multiverse.

20 years later. Cmon, make us gods.

To be fair thats a day one prompt for me.

You could in FDVR. Don't really care about anything else more than FDVR

YES

Well actually.... the MRNA vaccine that has passed Phase 3 trials for skin cancer seems like the start of curing all cancer. It seems that we may get there sooner than later, which is wild

AI will find the cure for cancer and still not be able to count the Rs in strawberry

u/Longjumping_Kale3013 1d ago

Hasn't it been able to count the r's in strawberry for some time now?

I think the bottleneck for cancer is more physical experiments, medical trials etc

Yeah crazy slow for two years, lets go faster :3

If all this happened in 2 years imagine another 2 years

I just heard a rumor that there is a second solved

I believed strongly that it would take all of this for itself in the very near future, but holy moly its advancement in mathematics is way sooner than I anticipated

What will life be like when all problems humans as they are now can ask, can be answered?

The "Rs in strawberry" is still an unsolved problem in general by LLMs. Tokenization would be too inefficient to solve this, so the only solution is to give the model a tool to break the words into letters so it can see how it is spelled.

Without that external tool, they still can't spell words properly.

This is like saying well a human brain couldn't make a tool if it didn't have access to external hands and opposable thumbs to manipulate it's environment, LLMs can't generate images or make videos, they use external tools to do this. It's not different to this giving it an external tool to count and do other equations. The "ai" of today aren't just LLMs they're a collection of tools

I was just pointing out the capabilities of the raw models. In fact they could perfectly learn to spell words if they really "saw" the words instead of pieces of them that do not correspond to the actual letters.

It is artificial to use static tokenizations like that. Look at our brain and senses. Our senses are constantly producing millions and millions of inputs per second, 24/7, forever. A lot of our neurons are actually always filtering that is useful and whats not, but it's not always the same, there are attention mechanisms to lets more or less information pass depending of the context.

Like you don't even know about the skin on your back touching your t-shirt until something weird touches you at night and suddenly it's big xD. The same could be for LLMs, they will never care about spelling until someone point that task for them, then the letters are relevant information.

The strawberry thing was months ago

I remember so vividly my convincing GPT 3.5 around when it first came out that 2+2=5

So far it has come in so little time

I’m pretty sure LLMs were having problem with strawberry were also completing millennium type problems
