Gary Marcus argues that LLMs aren’t as good as a calculator based on their inconsistencies. I’m not convinced the tool Gary is thinking about is the same tool as what an LLM is useful for. It could be true that his ideal model is absolutely better but based on the way he’s so afraid of things given the words he uses, I doubt it

I do think he is the most genuine of the ai risk people and seemingly not that crazy in how he cares about it

I’m lost.. I did a little research and since LLMs are basically AI, what exactly is his argument?

He presents it pessimistically is all. I have a tendency to do this too so I shouldn’t be as caught off guard by it 😂

Oh..He does have a point. What do you mean by “ he wrapped his positive argument for ai in a negative framework?” And I definitely need to listen to him now. Is it a podcast or something?

The more I listen to him, the more I actually just hear a cogent argument about usefully ways to think about building ai companies. He’s just wrapped his positive argument for ai in a negative framework. If he took that perspective then he’d come off a lot better
