Helen Keller famously said that before she had language (the first word of which was “water”) she had nothing, a void, and the minute she had language, “the whole world came rushing in.”
Perhaps we are not so very different?
Yes, anyone can do it already. E.g. I am sure people have built simple robots with wheels in their home that LLM is controlling by reciving camera, microphone, lidar etc input and then putting output like commands where to turn, what to put in the speakers etc next and could theoretically go indefinitely if there is electricity.
I like the sentiment, but reality says otherwise - just watch a newborn baby make it's demands widely known, well before language is a factor.
All LLMs have seen more words than any human will ever experience.
Yet they cannot take action themselves.
